The Atrium Journey
Since launching in 2018, we’ve built deep expertise in data science, enterprise technology, and cloud transformation. From our earliest days deploying simple lead scoring models to building custom AI agents like Andi, we’ve been driven by one vision: redefining AI consulting through solutions that deliver measurable impact.
Atrium launched with a clear mission: bring the power of AI to the front office. We established our team in the U.S. and Jaipur from day one and deployed our first predictive model early on.
We opened an office in Bozeman, Montana, and recruited our first Luminate college hire class. When COVID reshaped how consulting worked, we saw an opportunity, expanding globally to unlock talent and earning Salesforce Platinum Partner status in record time. We joined Pledge 1% and launched our social impact program Cultivate to support nonprofits and our local communities. During an unprecedented time, we even won our first Partner Innovation Award.
Our data science team went multiplatform, achieving Snowflake Elite Partner status. When ChatGPT hit the market, we were already positioned to lead. We established our financial services vertical and expanded our team to Latin America. Our culture took off as well, with our first Inc. Best Workplaces win!
We scaled rapidly, launching AI-enabled services, using cutting-edge AI tools internally to deliver faster, better results for our customers. We established our high tech vertical and, in another boost for our team, we won Forbes’ Best Startup Employer.
We deployed our first sales operations AI agent for a customer, launched our Revenue Cloud practice, and joined our 7th Salesforce Partner Advisory Board. Our accelerator gallery started garnering thousands of monthly views as businesses discovered our pre-built solutions.
Andi became Atrium’s first-ever AI consulting agent: our custom-built consultant that handles Salesforce development work in minutes instead of days, leading the industry in speed and quality. We also launched our $1B Customer Impact Dashboard, tracking the measurable results we’ve delivered. A banner year that shows we’re just getting started.
We Live AI So We Can Deliver with AI
We don’t just implement AI for clients—we use it to power how we work every day. From project delivery to internal operations, we rely on AI tools to move faster, improve accuracy, and reduce friction.
That means our customers see real value sooner. Instead of incremental improvements, we focus on outcomes: industry-shaping solutions, measurable impact, and the ability to scale innovation across the business. Our AI consulting approach has helped clients achieve over $1 billion in business impact.

Our Core Values
Diversity of Thought
An inclusive, diverse team not only makes Atrium a great place to work, it also strengthens the solutions we build. By bringing different perspectives together, we reduce bias in our models and uncover deeper, more meaningful insights for our customers.
Authenticity
Being true to ourselves and our customers is central to who we are. We lead with honesty and curiosity, using data to challenge assumptions, explore new ideas, and build trusted relationships grounded in transparency.
