Built on people.
Growing through technology.
RCO Communications has evolved across generations, industries, and technologies. What began as a consulting company focused on helping organizations and people perform at their best is becoming a technology company building digital products, applications, and the shared infrastructure behind them.
The company changed.
The purpose kept moving forward.
RCO’s story is not a reinvention that erases the past. It is an evolution. The tools are different today, but the company still believes that strong ideas, thoughtful systems, and a willingness to adapt can create meaningful results.
People & Organizations
RCO Communications, formerly Ross & Company, provided training, technical assistance, and advisory services designed to improve organizational and staff performance.
Products & Technology
Today, RCO develops software products, mobile applications, games, cloud-connected services, advertising technology, and shared technology infrastructure.
A product and technology company
RCO Communications is building a portfolio of independent digital products supported by common technology. The company’s work now spans consumer applications, gaming, digital preservation, advertising technology, cloud services, and reusable product infrastructure.
Rather than treating each application as an isolated project, RCO is developing an ecosystem: products retain their own identities and experiences while connecting to shared services through the RCO Platform.

RCO’s earlier work centered on what the company called Organizational Wellness—helping organizations develop skilled, collaborative, motivated workforces capable of succeeding in a changing and increasingly technological workplace.
For more than 14 years, the company—then RCO Communications Corp. and formerly Ross & Company—provided training and technical advisory services to corporations, federal agencies, educational institutions, and health and social service organizations across the United States and into Canada.
Beatrice Jones Ross
Entrepreneur · Business Trainer · Professional Speaker · Scientist · Author
Beatrice Jones Ross founded and led RCO Communications, serving as its President and CEO and building the company around workplace learning, performance consulting, and the belief that organizations become stronger when they invest in the people within them.
Her work focused on helping clients create effective, productive workplaces built around competence, collaboration, and diversity. She also co-founded Learning Power, Inc., a nonprofit educational organization in Bowie, Maryland.
Beatrice has since passed away, but the company she built continues. RCO’s work looks very different today, yet her entrepreneurial spirit, emphasis on learning, and willingness to embrace a changing world remain part of the company’s foundation.
