Professional Services for the Energy Industry

Solutions that Work

We are a customer-oriented, no excuses get it done type-of company with extensive experience in the electric and gas industry. Our business acumen combined with I.T. software engineering excellence means that we are able to deliver common sense, intuitive solutions to complex problems. We deliver results and save our customers millions of dollars.

The Competition

The large consulting companies copy-and-paste boilerplate templates from previous projects. They load your team with raw recruits just out of college that you get to teach and pay for on the job. Meanwhile, technical functions are outsourced to the lowest-cost offshore team available, with no real-world experience in the industry. The results are predicatable: project failure, massive cost overruns, delays and more delays, and at best (if you are lucky) barely passable mediocrity.
