About Cayuse
For hundreds of years, the Cayuse tribe's tradition of innovation earned them the reputation of being both fearsome warriors and savvy traders. Today, we continue that tradition by innovating to provide high-value business solutions.
Cayuse started as a strategic alliance between Accenture, LLC and the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation (CTUIR) in 2006 when Cayuse Technologies was created. The goal was to create a US-based alternative to offshore delivery centers as a node on Accenture's global delivery network.
Cayuse Holdings was created in 2018 and is comprised of 10 family companies, in addition to Cayuse Technologies. Cayuse Holdings is headquartered near Pendleton, Oregon and has offices in Atlanta, Salt Lake City, Seattle, Honolulu, and Washington D.C. Cayuse Holdings continues to be a 100% Indian Owned Economic Enterprise and is a foremost provider of responsible sourcing/certified diversity solutions for both commercial and government clients.
