Foster Townsend Experience
MANUFACTURING
Challenge
A national manufacturing company, with four major operation centers located across the United States, lacked the depth of IT talent to help move the legacy systems into current technology. High turnover and increasing demands on IT created a gap in capabilities that needed addressed with urgency.
Solution
Foster Townsend worked to support this client with both Support Services and Emerging and Strategic consulting services. Foster Townsend was able to assist in assessing the current project priorities and providing a project plan and scope. The project resources identified to help were also offered through right-to-hire options. This two-pronged approach of solving critical business challenges through IT project consulting and assisting with permanent staff replacement was an approach that Foster Townsend often applies to add value to most clients. Additionally, Support Services were engaged to provide a proactive response to continued maintenance and enhancements of applications and network issues.
Results
Our client is able to rely upon Foster Townsend for cost efficient support for project needs and support requirements. Our client also knows that Foster Townsend understands the challenges facing their increasingly complex business requirements and the staff resource needs. Foster Townsend continues to provide this mix of solutions helping the client gain value and reduce the risk of only relying upon internal resources.
