As a boutique shop, we offer consulting services with one common
denominator: we always approach an engagement, by first understanding business requirements and strategy, before launching
into solutions. We then utilize a unique Joint Application Design (JAD) approach to redesign processes using your internal
Subject Matter Experts before throwing software at the problem. In many cases, companies have already invested in the tools
and it may only be a matter fixing broken processes and tool re-configuration. ECS has developed enterprise level solutions
for the front door of IT to improve service to internal customers. We also have the depth and expertise to drive back office
integration across each IT Tower including Desktop, Open Systems, Mainframe, Storage, Network and Applications to reduce cost.
Our goal is to transition CXO focus from IT cost reduction to "IT is a
strategic asset" worth investing in to drive business innovation and top line growth.
