About 1896 Advisory Group
1896 Advisory Group is a technology advisory and consulting firm built on years of experience working alongside Fortune 100 and Fortune 500 organizations. We bring an enterprise-level perspective to organizations of all sizes, helping them make smarter technology decisions, modernize their environments, and connect with the right solutions and strategic partners. Our advisory-first approach begins with understanding each client’s unique business, financial, and operational goals rather than promoting one-size-fits-all solutions.
Named after the founding year of South Carolina State University, our founder’s alma mater, 1896 Advisory Group combines expertise in technology strategy, cloud and infrastructure, cybersecurity, AI and automation, data and analytics, and digital transformation with a greater sense of purpose. While we serve businesses, institutions, and organizations broadly, we have a particular commitment to HBCUs—helping institutions modernize technology, strengthen their digital environments, and prepare for what’s next. Our mission is to turn technology investments into meaningful and measurable outcomes through strategy, technology, and partnerships.
