Why use an independent consultant?
  • Extracting employees from their daily responsibilities for an unknown period of time is not feasible
  • You want to resolve the issue as soon as possible with minimum business impact
  • You feel the issue is a "once-off" task and won't need any business resources assigned after resolution
  • You do not have employees knowledgeable in the technical aspects of this particular area
  • You are planning to hire new personel but the requirements are uncertain and require POC's to be done to provide clarity and guide decisions
  • You want an independent, unbiased perspective on the issue
  • New eyes on the problem may yield alternative options
