About Winmill

We build, secure, and run the systems enterprises depend on

Winmill brings software engineering, cybersecurity, AI, and cloud operations together as one partner. Founded in New York City in 1994, we’re trusted by 44 of the Fortune 100, and 97% of our clients stay with us year after year.

Who we are

Big enough for enterprise work, small enough to know your name

Today our work centers on AI and Azure. We build modern applications, move enterprises to the cloud, test and defend systems against real-world attacks, and run critical infrastructure, including our own eMembership platform.

Our clients are concentrated in financial services, healthcare and medical devices, benefit funds and labor organizations, education, government, and media. Many of those unions and benefit funds also use eMembership, our membership management software. One thing hasn’t changed since 1994: we transfer knowledge as we work, so your team gets stronger while the project moves forward.

Meet our leadership

A message from our CEO
How we work

Built around short cycles and honest conversations

Software evolves, so we don’t disappear for six months and return with a big reveal. Every engagement runs as a series of short sprints, frequent reviews, and incremental releases.

Small steps, visible progress

We validate early, adapt quickly, and ship in increments, so you see working software throughout the engagement instead of waiting for the end.

Straight talk

You get honest answers about scope, risk, and cost, and if something goes off track, you hear it from us first. We’d rather have a hard conversation than a surprised client.

Leave it better

We call it stewardship: leaving everything better than we found it, from the comments in the code to helping with an overnight deployment that wasn’t in the plan.

Why Winmill

Why enterprises choose Winmill

Plenty of firms can build software. These are the reasons clients choose us, and the reasons they stay.

Senior engineers, not layered teams

You work directly with experienced practitioners, not a hierarchy of project managers and junior resources between you and the actual work.

Knowledge transfer built in

We teach as we build, and our goal is to leave your team stronger than when we arrived. We don’t bill that as an extra, because it’s the point.

Recommendations, not quotas

We recommend what’s right for your situation, not what a vendor quota needs us to sell, and we’ll tell you when something you’re considering isn’t a fit.

One team across the life cycle

The same team that builds your system can secure it, run it, and evolve it after launch, so nothing gets lost in a handoff.

Built for complex environments

Regulated industries, legacy systems, cloud-native platforms, and workloads that can’t go down. We’ve spent three decades in exactly this territory.

Relationships that outlast projects

Many of our client relationships span years and many projects rather than a single engagement. Our 97% retention rate is the result.
