Who we are
About Us
Bridge Builder was launched as a result of realizing the following fact: many technology consultancies support clients with practices that diminish value while driving up costs. Many clients suffer through lots of flashy presentations with trendy business jargon, unending team calls attended by more consultants than employees, and a feeling that the consultants aren’t quite listening or understanding your needs.
Building bridges and closing divides is in Founder and CEO John Pontius’ DNA – his last name even means bridge builder in German. While searching for the perfect name to represent the type of company he was creating, John was not only inspired by his namesake but also by an iconic bridge he was living nearby at the time. The Tobin Bridge is known for significantly improving commuter traffic conditions in the Boston region, providing unprecedented high-speed access to the surrounding area.
Bridge Builder’s direct, streamlined approach, much like its muse and founder, enables clients to literally “get to work.”
We are committed to the following:
Bridge Builder recently assisted us with a very complex and time sensitive migration of multiple systems to Salesforce. Their expertise and commitment to our success in this project was hands down one of the best experiences I have had working with many consulting firms in various industries. Beyond the team’s deep knowledge and unparalleled work ethic, the desire to help our team get excited in the project makes Bridge Builder stand apart from other firms.
What makes Bridge Builder, LLC different from other consultant firms is that I know, without a shadow of a doubt, that I can trust John and his team’s ability to execute any project request with the same dedication and thoroughness you’d expect from an internal team member. John leaves no stone unturned in his pursuit of project completion and consistently follows through on his commitments. Without a doubt, it is the best consulting firm I’ve collaborated with in my over 20-year career.
What sets Bridge Builder apart from other consultancies is their exceptional expertise in a variety of platforms and their capacity to align seamlessly with their clients unique requirements.Their proficiency extends beyond technical skills and includes a deep understanding of strategies, operational workflows, and user engagement. Bridge Builders holistic approach empowers organizations to maximize their overall value.
I’ve worked with many different consulting companies over the years and Bridge Builder is unmatched in terms of expertise, knowledge, and efficiency. Other consulting companies see a task list and only pay attention to the small details, often doing what they can to quickly check the boxes. Bridge Builders set themselves apart by listening to your needs and understanding the entire scope of a project. They take the time to understand the history, complexities, and overall objectives to help create and implement a successful roadmap. Bridge Builder is an exceptional partner and a consultancy that is truly in a league of their own.
With other consultancies, there can be a feeling of trying to sell you more, or they are secretive about their special sauce/black box. Bridge Builder are solution-oriented individuals, who care about the best interest of our business and our team. They offer sound advice and good judgement. I lean on them for their expertise on new internal challenges, to vet other vendors, and to translate complex projects. They get in there with you, learn your business, systems, team, and needs inside and out.
John was extremely helpful in getting our Salesforce client files modified to fit new requirements of our funders. He walked me through the process, with clear explanations and directions that not just updated us to where we need to be, but taught me about the process as well. I would not hesitate to recommend this team!
