COMPANY HISTORY

Border Research Solutions traces its beginnings to 1986, when a small management consulting business was established to address the growing need for information and communication services demanded by rapidly emerging demographic shifts.  Initially under the name of “The Communications Group” (TCG), early efforts focused on socially conscious projects, including technical assistance to colonias, minority health research, public outreach programs, and small business assistance.  Indeed, these early efforts resulted in legislative improvements, increased funding and a new awareness of border communities.  In the 1990s the nature of the company was adapted to meet the growing technology requirements of business and government.  In 1996 the company opened its information technology division and became incorporated under the name, Technology and Communications Gateway (still TCG). 

 Despite a new emphasis on technology, the company continued to focus its research division on socially meaningful projects, with an emphasis on health and education.   Long having recognized the health disparities encountered along the border (particularly among Hispanic and Native Americans), and with Hispanics soon to become the largest minority population in the United States, the firm recognized the urgency in establishing a stand-alone organization to attend to the research and informational needs created by this demographic/socio-economic phenomenon.  In moving this important function from the parent company, Border Research Solutions (BRS) was founded.
