Colorware

Colorware is specialized in altering the color of existing products. The job it does: building software for you when nothing off the shelf fits.

Who is it for? Mostly companies with a specific process to automate. They also list Music, so expect those to show up in the feature set. They are a small team, 11 to 50 people, which usually shapes who they work with. You will probably talk to the people who build it, which is great until you need 24/7 support.

Colorware is based in Winona, Minnesota and founded in 2000. Their site is colorware.com.

Our checklist for this category: portfolio relevance, who owns the code, and how they handle changes. Ask for a trial on your own data, not a canned demo.

If you have worked with Colorware, tell the next buyer what you paid and what surprised you. That is the part of this page we cannot write.
