About us
Our Story
In 1986 Robert L. Nelson founded the information systems consulting firm of R.L. Nelson and Associates, Inc. (RLN) to provide systems consulting services to area businesses. The Company maintains its corporate office in suburban Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
Since the firm’s inception, RLN grew steadily by delivering quality services to a broad client base throughout the Eastern United States. Among its valued clients are many privately and publicly held businesses including multi-national Fortune 500 companies.
In June of 2007 RLN and Vertical Solutions, a Pittsburgh based Information Technology Services firm, joined forces to create Vertilocity-an R.L. Nelson and Associates Company. This combined the traditional application service offerings of RLN with the ability to source, implement and support the infrastructure necessary to run those and other applications throughout the client organizations.
In 2012 we opened a new office outside of Denver Colorado. I guess you could say that if the town has mountains, we have an office!
In 2021 we joined HBK and became Vertilocity.
