No matter the situation, our consultants can help you evaluate and deliver the right solution for your organization. Our advisory team possesses diverse skills that allow them to function in a manner that suits your needs, whether it be more tactical or strategic. The services we provide are broad, but tend to fall in to one of the following categories: Packaged software selection: Our team of business analysts and technology experts have performed packaged Commercial Off The Shelf Software (COTS) selections since 1985. Software evaluation: Is it better to invest in current application software or to replace it with a more modern solution? Marathon Consulting works with clients to assess the often difficult decision. Project management: No matter the size of the client or project, Marathon Consulting has the project management services option to match your needs. IT department and staff evaluation: We frequently perform IT due diligence inquiries to support a planned acquisition or merger, IT department effectiveness assessments, and staffing level assessments with respect to full-time equivalent (FTE) headcount and experience point. Business and system analysis: Our analysts are the perfect experts at working with both the business and the IT department to map out a strategy to ensure success. For any engagement undertaken by our advisory consultants, the approach is always designed to do what is in the best interest of the client from an efficiency and cost perspective.
