As our
primary service offering, we provide strategic Staff
Supplementation Consulting Services to our Fortune
1000 and middle market clients across the technology
spectrum. Our full-time consultant employees work
almost exclusively on long-term “time and
material” contracts (i.e. 3+ months) and typically
play a key role within their teams and departments. We
hire only the most qualified professionals available
and offer them full-time employment, benefits,
training, and a challenging career! We generally do
not hire 1099 or independent consultants, and we do
not hire our professionals on a project-to-project
basis, as we are firm believers that the only way to
build a quality consulting practice is by surrounding
ourselves with the best and brightest available for
the long-haul!
Through our Staff Supplementation Consulting service
model our highly skilled professional employees are
capable of providing our clients with following types
of technology services:
- Development of enterprise systems
architectures with scalable, flexible, and easily
supportable characteristics.
- Design and development of
E-commerce applications to facilitate BtoB and
BtoC business initiatives.
- Design and development of N-tier
client server applications using various
development tools and platforms.
- Design and development of
Internet, Intranet, and Extranet sites to
facilitate the exchange of critical business
information with your customers, employees, and
business partners.
- Development of legacy system
applications and integration of core legacy
systems with client server or Internet based
applications.
- Improvement and development
network security architectures to safeguard
mission critical systems from outside intrusion.
- Project Management for E-commerce
and N-tier application development projects to
ensure that the project initiatives were met on
time and within budget.
- Network engineering and support
services to ensure that network infrastructures
are upgraded and maintained properly across
multiple operating system platforms.
Because of our unique customer
service based business model, we offer our customers
many advantages that cannot typically be realized from
our competition in the I.T. services industry.
Following is a brief listing of some of those benefits
that our current customers enjoy:
- A significant reduction in the
time required to review candidate resumes and
perform candidate interviews due to the fact that
iBridge thoroughly screens each of its candidates
using a 5 step interviewing process, and only
submits those candidates who have been proven to
be fully qualified for the position.
- A significant reduction in
consultant turnover as a result of iBridge
properly each candidate’s personality
and career interests with the attributes of each
client project prior to submission, and properly
supporting the consultant’s career growth
throughout the project duration.
- An improvement in the overall
value-added nature of the consultants provided as
a result of iBridge learning about each
customer’s unique business environment and
taking the time to insure that each consultant
will be able to satisfy our client’s needs
beyond the obvious technical skill set needs.
- A significant reduction in the
time that must be spent maintaining iBridge
consultants as a result of iBridge’s local
hands-on management style.
- A significant improvement in
response time to those customer requests that are
of an urgent nature.
- A significant improvement in the
overall level of customer service received as a
result of iBridge’s local management team that
is capable of quickly reacting to any client
request without having to solicit approval from a
remote corporate office.
For those organizations that do not
currently utilize Staff Supplementation Consultants,
there are many benefits that may be gained from using
iBridge consultants to augment your internal I.T.
project teams. Following is a brief listing of
benefits that Staff Augmentation Consulting offers vs.
the hiring of permanent employees:
- Consultants may be hired with
less time and effort from iBridge due to our
expansive “pipeline” of professional employees
and contingent-hire employees, therefore reducing
a company’s exposure to the business cost of not
being able to deliver a mission critical system
on-time.
- Consultants offer a greater
degree of flexibility between projects, therefore
reducing a company’s exposure to potential
severance costs.
- Consultants are commonly able to
add additional value to a project due to their
previous project based experiences, therefore
reducing a company’s risk of a failed
development project.
- Consultants are typically
knowledgeable of the latest development and
architecture techniques, the latest software
development tools available, and generally possess
the knowledge to implement these items in an
efficient manner therefore improving the odds for
long-term success and manageability of a project.
- The total cost of bringing in a
highly qualified Staff Supplementation Consultant
is commonly less than the cost associated with
hiring a permanent employee once all of the
ancillary costs associated with filling a project
position are considered. Many of these ancillary
costs are mentioned above.
