Our History
UberOps was founded in 2004 in Tallahassee, FL as a data integration and
information exchange product and service company. Over the next few years
they began to build their team of industry experts, branching into the Florida
Department of Health and other agencies.
All these years later, UberOps had become a leading cloud services provider,
with global data integration engineers, and experts in data intelligence and
information security, so we thought it was time for an updated brand (of course
there were other factors).
In comes Ruvos. Examining complex problems and orchestrating specialized
solutions has been at the core of this business all along, as all of you are
creative thinkers and perseverant troubleshooters. Because of all of your
experience, this team is uniquely positioned to power the tools and products
that you all have designed to help customers accomplish their goals.
As you know we haven’t moved from Tallahassee since 2004, but the team
has grown from two to over 80 experts across the country who, thanks to team
member bonding and the magic of technology, feel like family.

Ruvos was derived from the Latin word Rivus, meaning river; much like the
water drops in a river, data moves through channels and branches, flowing
smoothly and organically from source to destination. When it comes down to it,
our industry is characterized by constant movement and change, but we don’t
just feel forced to go along with the change, we embrace the change, we are
the change.
