Bridgewater Consultants, Inc. closed down in April 2022.
Even before the global pandemic, the two founders were working on unrelated projects, and the first two pandemic years made it clear that the best path forward for us personally was to close down this company.
We would like to thank the many clients that chose us to help them build software systems over the last 30 years – it was a privilege to do business with you.
We were a small software development company, founded in 1993 by two experts in mainframe database and 4GL development. We developed computer systems and delivered training for companies all over the world from an office in Poway, CA.
In the later years we did most of our development using open-source tools, such as Angularjs, GWT, Java, MySQL, Linux, PHP, and Drupal. We found that open-source tools allowed us to deliver reliable and maintainable solutions, while also delivering high performance at a reduced cost.
We strongly believe in an Agile approach to software development, and in particular the use of the Scrum Framework – the two founders are both at least CSM and CSPO certified.
BRIDGEWATER DELIVERED SOFTWARE SOLUTIONS WITH AGILITY
This site when active used our favorite CMS: Drupal. We ran a number of static web sites in the mid-90s, and then developed some Drupal sites for our clients, and finally adopted Drupal for our own sites.

One of the founders has a couple of personal blogs (not related to work at Bridgewater Consultants, Inc.):
