  engagements
• Defined deliverables at a defined price
• A long-term relationship, not a long term
  commitment
• We know the technology intimately so that you
  dont need too
• Trusted Advisors
• No driving for long-term contractor placements.
• Get in, solve the problem, teach your staff how
  to keep it solved, and get out.with support
  available but not mandatory.
• A relationship based on a succession of specific
  needs that require you to have access to a
  particular skill-set for a short period of time
  without establishing a long term cost burden.we
  aim to leave you operational cost baseline
  unchanged or improved!
