History
The Rochester Group (TRG) was founded in 1982 by visionaries who saw the opportunity to combine business savvy with software in order to help companies generate better business outcomes. Over the past 25+ years, they have worked as partners with companies of all sizes, focused on sales, marketing and financial systems that improve a company’s operations – or create a unique competitive advantage. Over time, the team at The Rochester Group built increasingly deep domain expertise in each of those functional arenas as they delivered process and technology improvements that achieved millions of dollars in productivity savings.
