World Class Offshore Outsourcing
Business Process Advisors
Is your offshore outsourcing failing to meet expectations?
Are the savings you promised your manager, CFO, CEO, or Board of Directors diminishing?
Are you facing schedule slips or substantial onshore rework of your offshore projects?
Do you need to establish durable and effective offshore outsourcing capability?
Do you need to qualify and select vendors remote from your current operations?
Do you want to be the envy of your peers and competitors?
Our advisors will help you look your best.
Our practice area leader, Mikey Butler, has over 15 years of experience directly managing onshore/offshore teams and overall Software Development Lifecycle process for clients such as SAP, BEA, Sybase, and Intuit and will partner with you to create optimal processes for your organizational needs.
In his career to date, Mikey focused on software quality and the creation of effective worldwide development teams for development organizations containing over 700 engineers. Mikey also became an experienced world-wide traveller and frequently visited over 20 international software development centers in countries such as India, Germany, Phillipines, Israel, and China.
Our primary objective is to get your projects on the right track and train your team with durable processes which do not require our continued involvement in your operations.
Our hands-on immersion approach initially involves direct daily embedding of our experienced management consultants within your offshore and onshore teams. Our consultants travel to work side by side with your teams to create effective processes which are durable and scale to future development efforts.
Our clients typically have likely selected the off-shore model as a way to significantly reduce their overall development hard costs, only to find that soft cost obstacles associated with the off-shore efforts more than offset the savings in hard costs.
We serve as an expert adviser to your management and establish measurable initiatives that reduce the hard and soft costs associated with offshore and outsourced software development.

VP/GM Jrockit, BEA Systems: "I've worked with Mikey for many years - both while we were at BEA Systems together, as well as while Mikey was at SAP. Mikey is, of course, very good at what he does - but the most amazing thing about Mikey is his uncanny ability to read people and understand what drives them and what their hot buttons are. Mikey's advice on how to handle people saved me many times while I was GM of the JRockit business at BEA, and I've continued to rely on Mikey's advice many times since. Managing people is the hardest and most important part of being a General Manager, and Mikey is the best I've ever seen at that."
