The Palantir story

Founded in 1996 by George DeMet and Tiffany Farriss, Palantir is a full-service digital consultancy that helps others discover, create, and share knowledge. We strengthen humanity through the work that we do and the way that we do it.

In our early years, Palantir collaborated with design firms, specializing in projects for colleges, universities, and museums. This experience helped us develop a strategic, solution-focused approach tailored to meet clients’ business objectives.

Embracing the power of open source technologies, notably Drupal, we evolved into a standalone digital solutions provider — and a leading contributor to the Drupal ecosystem, recognized worldwide for our expertise.

We are proud to have cultivated a diverse clientele, including educational and cultural institutions, healthcare organizations, and the technology and public sectors. We attribute our success to our focus on collaboration and our culture, which pulses with curiosity, a thirst for learning, and a people-centric approach.

Taking our cues from open source projects and agile software development, we foster a flexible and non-hierarchical environment. Our remote-first workplace allows seamless collaboration between clients and teams — and expresses our recognition that different people thrive in different environments. We want everyone on our team to work in a way that lets them fully realize their potential.

We are collaborative.

We believe the best outcomes are achieved when people create and collaborate in open, diverse, and inclusive environments. We grow relationships through mutual trust, empathy, and respect, and we communicate with clarity and honesty until we understand and are understood.

We bring out the best in each other.

We bring our best selves to our work and make space for others to do so as well. We recognize that different people thrive in different environments and believe flexible thinking and flexible, healthy work arrangements drive success.

We are curious.

We ask questions, explore new things, and improve through iteration. We’re open about what we don’t know, share what we do know, and learn from both our successes and our mistakes.

We think ahead.

We create a positive and lasting impact by thoughtfully and deliberately making the best choices and helping others do so too. We consider the big picture, take the long view, and adapt to meet changing needs.

We are accessible.

We are mindful of the needs of those we work with and the people they serve. We are open and authentic with each other, our clients, and our communities, and approach each interaction with kindness, grace, and good humor.
