The Northwoods Team
We provide best-of-breed products and services, but it's our people who make the real difference.
Our team has hundreds of years of direct human services experience, giving us an intimate knowledge of state and local agencies’ programs, processes, and pain points. This helps us understand and anticipate our customers’ needs and expectations, while allowing us to complete projects on time and on budget.
More importantly, we mean it when we say “your mission is our mission.”
We value every opportunity to spend time with human services professionals to learn more about how we can make a meaningful, positive impact on those who serve and are served. It inspires us to work hard to deliver technology solutions that allow more people to do more good. We do what we do because there are people in our community who need help. Because we want to help. Because we can.
