CapTech Consulting, Inc. is a national IT management consulting firm, specializing in digital solutions, systems integration, management consulting, data and analytics and customer experience. CapTech was formed as the result of a friendship between the company's founders, Sandy Williamson and Slaughter Fitz-Hugh, that began while both were employed at Andersen Consulting in Washington, D.C. Eventually, each would leave the company to pursue other opportunities, but they stayed in touch. In March 1997, the two found themselves back in their shared hometown—Richmond, Virginia—and this close proximity led to the creation of CapTech Ventures, Inc.

In both 2002 and 2003, CapTech earned a spot on the Inc. Magazine’s list of the nation's 500 fastest-growing private companies. The Inc. 5000 list ranked CapTech for 9 years. In 2007, the Inc. 500 list expanded to the Inc. 500|5000, giving readers a deeper, richer understanding of the entrepreneurial landscape and capturing a broader spectrum of success.[2] In 2004, CapTech received the Impact Award of the Greater Richmond Chamber of Commerce for its achievements in growth, economic impact and support of the community. Over the years, CapTech has been recognized by Ernst and Young, Association for Corporate Growth (ACG), Greater Richmond Partnership, United Way, RichTech and numerous other organizations for its steady growth and positive impact on the communities it serves.

Consulting Magazine has ranked CapTech in Best Firms to Work For since 2012. In 2016, CapTech received the #5 position overall for Best Firms to Work For, #2 for Information Technology and #4 for Meeting Clients Needs.[3] CapTech has continued to rank for excelling in the Work/Life Balance category, which reflects how well consultants perceive their firm as enabling them to balance their life outside of their day job. The list is based on an online survey that is completed by over 350 firms, and 13,000 consultants.

In 2016, Vault magazine[4] recognized CapTech for having one of the best consulting internships in the country, Elevate.[5] This unique 12-week program simulates a client engagement where one can achieve a full understanding of the consulting experience while solving relevant client problems. Interns work in self-led teams and are paired with senior consultants for evaluation and mentorship. Additionally, interns enjoy weekly lunch-and-learns with leadership. CapTech interns are given the opportunity to build something that matters and create impactful value. Forbes.com also ranked the Elevate Internship #4 for Best Internships in 2016[6].

CapTech's work in digital solutions for government and state agencies has been recognized in Virginia and nationally. Six months after the launch of its redesigned website, www.abc.virginia.gov, the Virginia Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC), in collaboration with CapTech, was recognized by the Web Marketing Association with Government Standard of Excellence and Shopping Standard of Excellence WebAwards.[7] CapTech's work for the Virginia Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services official website for the Commonwealth of Virginia, www.Virginia.gov, won Sitecore’s Government Site of the Year award in 2012.[8]

CapTech's corporate offices are located in Richmond, Virginia, where the company was founded. Currently CapTech employees 600 consultants nationwide with additional offices located in Atlanta, Georgia, Charlotte, North Carolina, Columbus, Ohio, Orlando, Florida, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and Reston, Virginia.

CapTech Honored by Richmond's Venture Forum.[9]

A solution designed and implemented by CapTech was listed by the Nielsen Norman Group as one of the 10 best-designed intranet sites worldwide for 2008.[10]

In December 2015, Markel Ventures announced a majority investment in CapTech.[11]
