Challenges
The life
of an IT Logistics Division consultant
presents a overabundance of daily
challenges: keeping up with the latest
technology, choosing the right products for
a job, managing complex projects, and
networking with partners. Along with
these tasks, a consultant must focus a lot
of attention on the client relationship.
Roy M. Avila, President of IT Logistics Division believes IT consulting process is based on several fundamental concepts.
In this profession, like doctors, lawyers and engineers, we IT Consultants spend a significant part of our working lives explaining complex technical subject matter to clients.
Our clients rely on the advice we give to be successful in their careers or businesses. We also have a responsibility to provide complete and correct advice.
Yet the IT consultant is rarely thought of in the same context as the doctor or architect. Nor do most IT consultants think of themselves that way. The process of applying professional standards to the advising of clients is not usually what IT workers think of when they consider becoming a consultant.
We have experienced that IT professionals and their clients are often left wondering how a simple technical project could get so fouled up. Everyone understood the technology, but nobody managed the relationship or the delivery process. |
