ACTS Corporation Consulting Philosophy

We believe that each client is unique and that no two organizations share the same set of requirements or require the same solutions. We start each engagement with a blank page. We bring no preconceived ideas about the customer, and no predetermined solutions. We also do not turn a customer assignment into a training ground for junior consultants. Our customers get senior expertise at a fair price.

Our consultants actively look for ways to share their expertise and impart knowledge to the customer, because our goal is to make our clients less dependent on consultants with every engagement we perform. The results of each engagement include a solution designed to fit the business need and to strengthen the IT infrastructure which services the business.

ACTS Corporation's Consulting Methodology

Each engagement starts with understanding the client's objectives, key issues and an assessment of the IT environment. We then:

  • Gather current business requirements for each of the major business segments and trade styles.
  • Develop alternative solutions based on proven technology.
  • Evaluate top alternatives against client's prioritized objectives and key issues.
  • Recommend not only the best solution fit for today's business needs, but the solution that also includes flexibility for the future.
  • Produce and present final deliverables.

Our highly skilled group of professionals has worked in a wide range of industries and company settings from small businesses to multinational corporations and conglomerates. Each of our more than 1500 clients will attest to the pride and professionalism of ACTS' staff.
