Diving Deep for Real Value - From Complexity to Clarity
With more than a decade of experience in the technology industry, Erik Peterson founded Perdigon Group to reshape the way organizations navigate the IT buying process.
Throughout his career at industry giants like Cisco, Qualtrics, and SolarWinds, Erik saw firsthand how complex and opaque the technology landscape could be for businesses. Decisions were often based on hype or outdated models, leaving clients struggling to cut through the noise and unlock real value.
He launched Perdigon Group with the goal of creating a more transparent, consultative experience. We don't just recommend technology; we dive deep into your environment to find the solutions that drive measurable business outcomes. Today, Erik leads Perdigon’s mission to simplify decision-making in IT and ensure every technology investment delivers real, tangible value.
​
The Story Behind Our Name: Perdigon
The name "Perdigon" is inspired by a piece of equipment critical to Erik's other passion: fly fishing. A Perdigon fly is a small, heavily weighted nymph developed by European anglers to fish fast-moving, high-pressure waters. Due to its streamlined, heavy design, a Perdigon fly sinks quickly and precisely, reaching the bottom feeding zone where the biggest fish live—a zone other anglers struggle to present a clean fly to.
​
This precise and effective technique became the perfect analogy for our mission in IT: Just as a Perdigon fly gets deep into the fastest water where other anglers miss the fish, Perdigon Group dives deep into a customer's IT environment where other technology advisors miss the critical insights.
We cut through the surface noise and fast currents of the technology market, using our expertise to reach the deepest, most complex parts of your operation to ensure a perfect, targeted solution that secures the biggest business outcomes.
