Small, focused teams - undiluted talent and expertise
The firm deliberately operates with small teams to focus on the quality delivery of consulting services from senior,
experienced practitioners only. While small, we have an extraordinary knowledge base, with deep experience in
technology, business and IT processes, and organizational transformation.
Our consulting services are centered on your most critical challenges and opportunities in strategy, organization,
operations, transformation, technology, digital, analytics, governance and risk. We bring in-depth technical and
functional expertise, but we are also recognized for analysis and delivery that spans silos and delivers value across the
board. Working effectively with your staff up through the c-suite and board of directors, our solutions are more than
just strategy or tactical; we deliver operational outcomes that meet strategic objectives.
Data Center Design / Build / Relocate
Many businesses today choose to source their technology to a third party, under the premise that IT
should be designed and operated by “experts” – thus allowing the business to focus on their own
products, services and operations.
However, other businesses choose to own and operate their data centers, acknowledging that IT
technology can have a direct impact upon the production or operation of their business. As a result,
data centers should be under their control.
