Vertilocity, an HBK company, traces its origins back to 1986 when Robert L. Nelson established R.L. Nelson and Associates, Inc. (RLN) in suburban Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Initially focused on providing information systems consulting services, RLN quickly expanded its reach across the Eastern United States, serving a diverse clientele that includes both privately and publicly held businesses, as well as multinational Fortune 500 companies. In June 2007, RLN merged with Vertilocity Inc., a Pittsburgh-based Information Technology Services firm, to form Vertilocity—an R.L. Nelson and Associates Company. This strategic alliance enhanced their service offerings by integrating traditional application services with comprehensive infrastructure support, enabling them to effectively manage and implement IT solutions for their clients.
In 2012, Vertilocity expanded its geographical footprint by opening a new office near Denver, Colorado, humorously noting their presence in mountainous regions. The company's growth trajectory continued, and in 2021, Vertilocity became part of HBK, further solidifying its position in the industry. Today, Vertilocity offers a wide range of services, including VoIP, Backup & Recovery, Cloud Migration, Cybersecurity, and Dynamics 365, primarily serving clients in Ohio and throughout the United States. The company remains committed to delivering high-quality IT solutions tailored to meet the evolving needs of its clients.
