Our Story
RoQC was founded in 1998 in Tau, Norway. Our main office is located in Stavanger, Norway and our US affiliate, RoQC Data Management LLC., is located in Houston. Together we serve a growing multinational client base.
RoQC was originally a consultancy driven company. Its software development started as a support function to consultants out in the field. Later, the software development commercialized into what has become the RoQC Tools software suite.
