The IT Services industry is wildly fragmented. There are a few good, large players. There are also thousands of smaller firms you have not, nor probably will ever hear of. Some of them have amazing talent, great leaders, and a work ethic that will blow your mind. What they don’t have are big marketing budgets, US presence, or other qualities making them visible. Tek.Advisors partners with these smaller players to bring their expertise to you. We choose our partners through three major factors:
Do they take care of their people?
Good leaders know it’s all about people. Technology service providers are no different. How a provider recruits, develops and rewards their team members will influence their engagement and thus, your engagement. We seek out partners that are building strong cultures with commitment to technical expertise, language skills, business acumen, and cross-cultural understanding. We know service providers with commitment to these ideals are more likely to win the war for talent.
Do they have expertise in the needed technology?
The Tek.Advisors network is built on best of breed. We are constantly on the lookout for service providers building specialized expertise in vertical industries and horizontal technology platforms. Our evaluation process cuts through the marketing fluff and gets down to the details about their specific experience. This enables us to confidently recommend a partner that is a fit for your project or initiative.
Do they have customer-friendly processes?
From contracting through delivery, your business needs a partner that knows how to get business done. This requires an understanding of local US business practices, a flexible mindset and team management that keeps everyone on the same page. Tek.Advisors evaluates each service provider has what it takes to effectively partner with your organization and make your engagement successful.
