Our Story

Our story of pride and anticipation


Trissential was founded in 2003 to offer a third alternative in consulting – one that bridges the gap between large system integrators and local staffing firms. We started in Minnesota and expanded across the Midwest, helping organizations drive meaningful improvement.

In 2015, we joined SQS to enhance our quality and testing capabilities globally. Today, as part of Expleo, we deliver end-to-end consulting, engineering, and digital transformation solutions worldwide.

Hear the story from our Founder & CEO, Keith Korsi – why Trissential was created, the power of improvement, and how our Essential Business Model helps clients achieve lasting results.
