Summit Climbs to #11 Among Central Ohio’s Largest IT Consulting Firms

Columbus Business First

Growth is one thing. Sustained momentum in a competitive market is something else entirely.

We’re proud to share that Summit has been ranked #11 on Columbus Business First’s list of the Largest Central Ohio Information Technology Consulting Firms, a major milestone in our journey as a fast-growing, advisory-led Salesforce and digital transformation partner.

Summit Ranked Among Top Columbus IT Consulting Firms

From Momentum to Market Leadership

Just a short time ago, Summit was climbing the ranks, moving from #31 to #24, reflecting strong growth and increasing market presence. Today, reaching #11 signals something bigger:

  • We are no longer just an emerging player
  • We are firmly in the top tier of the Central Ohio consulting market
  • And we are doing it with a focused, differentiated model

This isn’t accidental growth, it’s intentional.

What’s Driving the Climb

Summit’s rise is rooted in a clear strategy: combine deep Salesforce expertise with advisory, data, and AI capabilities to deliver real business outcomes. Over the past few years, we’ve:

  • Expanded our end-to-end services (Advisory → Implementation → Managed Services)
  • Built a strong reputation across public sector, higher education, and commercial markets
  • Invested heavily in Data, AI, and Analytics capabilities
  • Maintained a relentless focus on client outcomes and delivery excellence

That approach has translated into measurable growth, including repeated recognition as one of Central Ohio’s fastest-growing companies.

The Aimpoint Effect: Expanding Reach and Depth

Our recent merger with Aimpoint Technology accelerated this trajectory. By combining Summit’s delivery scale with Aimpoint’s advisory-led public sector expertise, we significantly expanded:

  • Our footprint in state and local government
  • Our ability to lead with strategy before implementation
  • Our credibility in complex, large-scale transformation initiatives

The result is a more complete, more capable organization, built for where the market is going, not where it has been.

Beyond Services: Entering the Product Era

Our investment in LexiPoint marks the next chapter. As a founding investor and strategic partner, Summit is helping bring to market a Policy Decision Engine that turns government regulation into structured, executable infrastructure. This move represents a shift:

  • From services alone
  • To services + product + platform innovation

It expands what we can deliver and how deeply we can impact our clients’ operations.

Why This Ranking Matters

Being ranked #11 isn’t just about size. It reflects:

  • Trust from clients across industries
  • Execution at scale across complex programs
  • Consistency in delivering outcomes
  • And a team that continues to outperform

Central Ohio is home to a highly competitive and rapidly evolving technology ecosystem. Moving into the top tier of that market is a meaningful signal of where Summit stands today, and where we’re headed.

What Comes Next

We’re proud of the milestone, but we’re not stopping here. Our focus remains clear:

  • Continue scaling responsibly
  • Deepen our advisory and AI capabilities
  • Expand our client base nationally
  • And build Summit into a top-tier, nationally recognized CRM and digital transformation partner

The climb to #11 is a milestone. What comes next is the mission.

"Easy to Work With"
Angie W.

Northwoods worked with Summit to help migrate our Microsoft Dynamics CRM system to Salesforce.  Summit was extremely knowledgeable, thorough, and easy to work with.  They were able to help us configure the system to handle complex business processes while making the system easy for end users.  They were also able to migrate all our legacy Dynamics data to the new Salesforce system.  Summit helped train our technical team on Salesforce administration while keeping the project on time and under budget.  I highly recommend Summit for any Salesforce-related project.

"Mind Blowing!"
Rachael H.

As a leader of a small non-profit aimed to scale rapidly and efficiently, I knew it was critical to transition from antiquated spreadsheets to a sophisticated CRM. We dabbled in Salesforce on our own the year prior. To put it mildly, I was terrified to go there again. Summit met my apprehension with confidence and reassurance. They were timely, efficient and positioned us to utilize Salesforce in ways we hadn’t imagined. Every day I’m in awe of what Salesforce can do; to the team’s credit for imparting their wisdom. Summit has positioned us for unprecedented opportunities at Walk with a Doc. Thank you!

"BEST Salesforce Consultant Available"
Catherine Z.

We went through 3 consultants before finding Summit. The difference was night and day, and the cost was very reasonable. They helped us get our Communities up and running in less than a week (after 2 other teams essentially dragged their feet for 9 months - yes, 9 months!). We are ecstatic! We also have Managed Services with them, for a few hundred bucks a month they are our go-to for anything Salesforce. The team is INSTANTLY responsive - like within 2 minutes. I have experienced other consultants and can tell you, there is no comparison. Hire Summit!

"Did a Wonderful Job"
Paige B.

We have primarily been using Salesforce for our sales team. Recently we decided to bring our support team on and Summit did an awesome job helping us get everything set up the way we needed.

"Great Learning and Implementation"
Annette H.

Great experience with Summit. They are very knowledgeable about Salesforce and their turn around is outstanding. I am looking forward to working Part 2 of our plan with them.

"Transformation Data w/ Excellent Service"
Kay W.

The skill set and knowledge that Summit has brought to this project far surpasses our initial expectation- especially since our initial contact with Salesforce corp. was challenged in regards to utilizing training videos to suit our scope and need. Summit and team has been helpful in supporting our team with a custom solution in order for us to be able to serve our community better. They are timely and professional, and eager to learn about the why before telling us the what.

"Made our Dream CRM a Reality!"
Matt S.

Summit made our Salesforce dream a reality. As a small non-profit on a limited budget with very specific CRM needs we were challenged to find a suitable Salesforce partner. Fortunately we were introduced to Summit, and from day one they made the formidable task of implementing Salesforce doable (and even enjoyable!). The Summit team are pros, from their accessibility and communication to industry knowledge and attitude, they never said 'no' to a request. When we encountered hiccups along the way they took the time to trouble shoot and make fixes, even when it was outside the original scope of the project. We didn't deviate from the project timeline or budget, which says a lot considering our custom needs for data collection/reporting, donor communication, and third party plug-ins. If you are considering implementing Salesforce or have any Salesforce needs, I highly recommend Summit and their team.
