The following describes how we work with our clients and how we’re different from traditional consulting firms.
|
|
Our consultants are seasoned experts with successful track records
|
|
|
We have held leadership positions in major consulting firms and in corporate IT organizations and have worked in a variety of industries.
|
|
|
We have a balance of business and IT expertise, and are particularly effective in improving the partnership between IT and the business.
|
|
|
Our senior consultants do the work, not junior associates.
|
|
|
We have proven processes, methodologies, and tools
|
|
|
We take a pragmatic approach to applying our methodologies. Based on the unique situation and objectives of each client engagement, we tailor our comprehensive methodology “Play Books” to create project specific “Game Plans”.
|
|
|
We leverage automated tools for more efficient data gathering and analysis.
|
|
|
We are objective in our analysis and recommendations
|
|
|
We have no proprietary interest in developing our recommendations – i.e., we have nothing to sell (software, hardware, outsourcing, etc.)
|
|
|
Our focus is on improving our client’s IT capabilities, not taking them over.
|
|
|
Our low overhead, “Lean” business model enables us to charge significantly lower rates than our larger, publicly traded competitors.
|
|
|
We partner with our clients in delivering our solutions and train them in our approach so they continue to enhance their capabilities.
