Business consulting and IT services from enterprise architecture thru integration and administration
Leveraging Technology started in 1998 as an integration specialist. Customers soon sought our help with issues beyond the technology. We developed increasingly deeper insights into business architecture and our customers’ upstream challenges. As we did so, we evolved into IT partners and leaders.
Today, customers partner with us for agile development and disciplined project management across the IT lifecycle, in part because our frameworks, proprietary methodologies and unique Capability Partnership are proven to get results. Customers also recognize that our people drive success by mapping projects back to business strategy at virtually every stage -- from assessment, planning and design, to delivery and management.
We design practical solutions by thinking strategically -- we are strategic by design.
