RETHINKING THE IT T&M MARKET
WHAT'S GOING ON...
... IN THE IT T&M MARKET?
-
We work with more and more advanced technologies, methodologies and processes in the projects, yet the necessary external T&M resources are provided on the basis of the operational model of the previous century.
-
A large number of relatively small, low-resourced, non-transparent IT consulting companies strive to serve the needs of the clients.
CONSEQUENCES
-
Most of the profit goes to the IT consulting companies => both the client and the independent consultant do badly.
-
The margin is not fixed but “as many as possible”, in case of juniors it can be remarkably high, even 100% (!).
-
In case of T&M contracts IT “consulting” companies have no or minimal added value and a large part of the day to day work management and HR tasks are also the responsibility of the customer's project organization.
-
Many times there is a multi-level subcontracting relationship between the client and the consultant.
-
It often happens that the same external colleagues do the same work on consecutive projects under the names of different companies.
WHAT IS THE SOLUTION?
Creating a unified platform instead of IT "consulting" companies where:
-
all independent consultants are present (as supply),
-
all customer requests are displayed (as demand),
-
operation is transparent,
-
the margin is low.
THE SERVICE
WHAT DOES AZ9 OFFER?
-
FULL TRANSPARENCY
-
LOW MARGIN: 9 - 15 % (in exceptional cases it may differ)
___________________________________
-
We don’t want to be an IT consulting firm; our goal is to connect customer needs with independent consultants (focusing on T&M resources).
-
We categorize independent consultant colleagues considering different perspectives (competence, professional experience, soft skills, etc.).
-
We regularly ask clients for a review of their colleagues working with them, which we make available and incorporate into the consultants' profile.
-
We provide a direct contract channel to customers.
-
We only contract directly with consultants, there is no multi-level subcontracting.
WHY IS IT GOOD?
-
Due to the low margin the customer gets resources at a more favorable price.
-
Consultant colleagues are more satisfied, do not feel that the margin is unreasonably high.
-
The cooperation depends on the agreement between the client and the consultant so the well-proven external colleagues will not leave the project because the priorities of the company “selling” him may have changed.
-
In the long run the T&M market will be cleaned up and concentrated (companies operating according to the outdated model will cease).
-
As a long-term result of the above AZ9 could cover a significant part of the T&M market providing a single point resource access for the clients.
