The Company was founded with two key objectives:
First, to provide an end-to-end service covering everything from:
- Defining requirements
- Developing a technical design
- Building and testing; to
- Training and on-going support
Second, to build great client relationships that last, rather than just focus
solely on individual projects.
Our team is made up of consultants from all over the world; something we are very
proud of. We employ consultants from as far afield as Australia, Russia, India and
the USA, as well as the United Kingdom. This 'world-flavour’ compliments our diverse,
multi-national client base.
Our client focus
We focus primarily on:
- FTSE 500 companies
- Top end SME businesses between £100m and £500m turnover; and
- What we call ‘interesting’ businesses; i.e. businesses who are doing something different
or innovative from the mainstream
So if you fall into one of these categories, we would like to talk.
With clients located across a number of time zones: we have learned to manage requests
for help and assistance at some unearthly UK hours, so we know all about ‘going
the extra mile’ for our clients. To us, that’s just the norm.
Our Team
There are absolutely, positively no contractors or offshore labour and there is
no outsourcing. Just 100% our consultants.
Like those smoothie advertisements, we promise you 100% real ingredients. No e-numbers
and no watered-down products.
We don’t outsource or offshore our work and we don’t use contractors. All our consultants
are full time employees of ours and are based with our clients on site in most cases.
This way, we believe, you get both the commitment and the best results. After all,
you can’t beat good, old fashioned, face-to-face contact.
So, if you are looking for the cheapest deal in town, or something done quick and
dirty, we aren’t going to be right for each other.
Why work with us?
What we believe makes us unique in our market is:
- The technical excellence of our consultants
