Critigen

Critigen is a global technology consultancy solely focused on the convergence of technology application and mission-critical data. Known as a leader in information management, we leverage our deep domain expertise to develop technology-based approaches for those who deliver essential services that affect human life.

Our core competencies integrate and activate technology resources to help clients visualize, collaborate, secure, and manage their information. Clients value these services for their power to radically and positively impact societal, economic, and financial decisions.

Our name says it all: 

Criti = Critical Infrastructure
Gen = Genesis
Critigen = Uniting critical infrastructure with the genesis of new ideas.

An Elite Engineering Legacy

Formerly known as Enterprise Management Solutions (EMS), Critigen was created as the information management division of CH2M HILL’s 64-year, $6.3B global engineering, consulting, and construction business to support their large-scale engineering projects.

After 10+ years as the renowned company’s sole information solutions provider, EMS grew to more than 700 associates worldwide and amassed deep domain expertise in supporting both CH2M HILL and their global critical infrastructure clients. After CH2M HILL divested itself of EMS’ specialized services, EMS became Critigen. CH2M HILL retained the right of using Critigen as its preferred IT solutions provider.

Now, as an independent entity with a new name, Critigen draws upon its strong expertise and heritage to serve a broader purpose: to deliver our unparalleled information management services to an expanded client base, exponentially increasing the beneficial impact we deliver to clients on a global level.

Our Unique Position

Why the + in our logo? We think of it as our connective tissue that makes what we do unique:

It's the intersection of skill + imagination.
It's the axis of information + technology.
It's the balance of known + unknown.

The + represents an inflection point or a fulcrum. It illustrates the value of how we marry advanced technology with our clients’ mission critical data. The outcome? We help our clients modernize their critical infrastructure and enable positive change in civilization.

A lofty undertaking, we admit, but we like making getting out of bed in the morning worthwhile—both for our clients and for us.
