Client Spotlight: Blackcomb Consultants
TenantBase helped Blackcomb Consultants find new Dallas office space in 2017. The Guidewire implementation firm grew to 158 employees and was acquired by Accenture in 2022.
Blackcomb Consultants is an IT and management consulting company based out of Chicago, IL. TenantBase had the chance to talk with the founder and Managing Partner, Saroj Mohanty, about the growth the company experienced over its first seven years and how they came to work with TenantBase to find their Dallas office.
Update, 2026: Blackcomb Consultants' growth story didn't stop here. The company went on to be elevated to Advantage Tier in Guidewire's PartnerConnect program, led major implementations for clients including CIRMA, and grew to roughly 158 employees. In October 2022, following what the company itself called its most successful year in business, Blackcomb Consultants was acquired by Accenture.
Tell us about your business. How did Blackcomb Consultants get started?
Saroj Mohanty had worked in the IT world for over 30 years, mostly with insurance companies as a senior executive and CIO. When it came time to retire, Saroj enjoyed spending his time golfing and with family, but was quickly pulled into consulting after a past contact asked for help with a project. From that, Saroj saw not only a business opportunity but a way to bring his expertise to the industry, and so Blackcomb Consultants was born.
What does Blackcomb Consultants actually do?
Blackcomb Consultants works with property and casualty insurance companies to implement and bring up to date the systems and processes of those companies. As a partner of Guidewire software, Blackcomb Consultants partners with companies to implement and capitalize on the capabilities of the Guidewire software.
How has your business grown?
Since 2011 we had grown from a one-man operation to approximately one hundred resources with offices across the country. One thing I owe to that growth is finding the right partners along the way, whether that meant bringing on a business partner in 2013 or the other companies we partnered with over time. I can usually tell after the first conversation whether I want to work with them or not.
Why did you need a new office space?
Blackcomb Consultants had a presence in Dallas for a few years, but when our clientele changed, we needed to reevaluate staying there. It became clear that leaving Dallas entirely didn't make sense, but we needed to shift the type of presence we had, and for that we needed a new office space. We started looking online and came across a few properties that we liked, and that is how we got in touch with TenantBase and our advisor Kathy Boop. Kathy listened very well to our needs and responded well to our needs. She brought us four options to consider, set up the tours diligently, and that really helped us weed out the other spaces and narrow our options down to one.
What will the new space help you do?
The new space will help us serve the US division of a large Japanese insurance company and provide ongoing services to our clients. The office is well set up for our needs, with a bullpen, a few offices surrounding the bullpen, and a conference room. We're looking forward to moving in as we continue to grow and expand our reach.
"Saroj came to the table prepared, ready to go, knew where he wanted to be, and had his financials ready. Made everything easy to move forward."
