CTG was founded in 1966 by Randolph A. Marks and G. David Baer in Buffalo, New York. The company specializes in contract programming, providing computer programmers, designers, and managers to clients looking for outside expertise to set up their own computing systems. Acknowledging the growing importance of the health care industry, CTG acquired Elumen Solutions, Inc. in February 1999, and established CTG HealthCare Solutions (CTGHS) to deliver information technology services to healthcare organizations. In 2001, the firm’s chief financial officer, James R. Boldt, was named president and CEO.
