but what we provide.
are but a few of the results from our year long analysis of the IT Industry.
Over a year ago, several IT industry professionals got together over
beer and BBQ and began discussing off-shoring and its effects upon the
US IT industry. The discussion became serious very quickly as we all
agreed that something had to be done to allow us to compete with off
shoring.
After a year of analysis, several programs were created. These
programs singularly could not compete but woven together have allowed
us to create a business model that pushes back against off-shoring.
We identified several areas in the IT industry that needed
improvement;
Issue # 1 - Education - We felt that there was a serious lack of bridging
between corporate America and education. The new blood we were
receiving from the various universities was not productive to begin with.
There was always a prolonged period of ramp-up to get these resources
productive.
Answer to issue # 1 - IT Apprenticeship - We have worked with the US
Dept of Labor to create a federally certified IT Apprentice program that
includes On the Job Training (OJT) as well as Instructor Led Training
(ILT). Our Apprentices receive 1440 hours of ILT from 4 year, 2 year and
technical schools, as well as 3010 hours of OJT working on real life
corporate projects. Bridge created!
Issue # 2 - Management of skill sets on a project basis - Normally, on
projects we have to define the highest level of skill set needed for a
resource by the most complicated task we will have that resource
perform over the life of the project. Even if a very small portion of the
project requires this level of skill set, we are stuck paying the higher skill
set price for the entire length of the project.
Answer to issue # 2 - Dynamic Team Environment - We have created
development teams that spread skill sets from the very skilled to entry
level. Tasks are delegated to the proper resource at a task level instead
of at a project level. This allows us to bill the project work at a blended
rate versus a flat highest skill set rate. Lower rates for corporations!
Issue # 3 - Offshoring - How to compete with the low costs of offshoring
that has become so attractive to corporate America?
Answer to issue # 3 - A combination of "Farm Shoring", Dynamic Team
Environment and Apprenticeship. This allows us to compete with off
shoring prices but excel in our soft skills. No communication barrier, time
zone differences, lack of on-site presence, provides a solid workforce
channel and no massive impact upon the US economy.
Our resources ramp-up by working on-site until relationships and an
expert knowledge of our clients systems have been established. They
then come back to our facilities to lead teams and mentor apprentices on
your systems. Not only does ITS lower project costs but we provide a
solid well trained recruiting channel at no additional costs. Our senior
consultants and apprentices are yours for the taking, feel free to make
them an offer. If they accept, then they are yours at no additional
costs. Our apprentices have been mentored on your methodologies and
your systems. They have worked with your staff and are ready to be
productive on day one.
