GroundWork was originally started as CapTech in 1993 and specialized in system administration, network management, and software configuration management consulting. Foglight, one of the first client server performance management and tuning software products was created as an outgrowth of GroundWork. In 2000, Foglight was sold to Quest Software, which markets an entire line of IT monitoring and management products under the brand name Foglight.

In 1999, CapTech transformed itself into SiteROCK Corporation, a pioneering provider of remote monitoring and NOC outsourcing services. At the same time, CapTech started SiteROCK Japan, an IT Services company located in Tokyo. SiteROCK was sold to NaviSite in 2003. GroundWork Partners is still actively involved in siteROCK Japan through equity ownership and management participation.

GroundWork's mission is, "Deliver IT monitoring solutions that enable best practices in IT Service Management at the lowest possible cost." Our work is informed by the experience and advice of hundreds of customers who consistently have told us over the years that its not the tool itself but how it is employed that really matters.
