FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
HOLLAND & DAVIS AND G. A. SULLIVAN FORM
A PARTNERSHIP
TO MEET MARKET DEMAND FOR GREATER BUSINESS AGILITY
Strategic Partnership will allow clients to
obtain beginning-to-end business process and technology solutions
which yield dramatic results for a fraction of the traditional
business investment
HOUSTON – April 1, 2002 -- Holland & Davis,
LLC, a nationally renowned management consultancy, together
with G. A. Sullivan, a Microsoft Gold Certified global e-business
solutions provider, today announced the formation of a strategic
partnership in response to the market’s need to rapidly
design and implement new capabilities. Market downturns, consolidation
and deregulation have created an economy where organizations
must rapidly innovate to retain market share, but do so with
less resources and funding. The solutions provided by this partnership
will help clients to become more flexible and agile...and because
of the delivery model of the partnership, this Business Agility
can be realized at a third to a tenth of the normal investment
of a Big 5 consulting project.
This Best-In-Breed venture will create uniquely superior solutions
in the marketplace. Long recognized as best-in-class for change
management, Holland & Davis is known by its clients for
their high rate of success in implementation, business value
realization and organization acceptance of solutions. One of
Microsoft’s top-level partners worldwide, G. A. Sullivan
offers unparalleled expertise in delivering enterprise solutions
and creating business value for their clients. The unique and
multifaceted combination of technical and business acumen of
the partners will enable clients across industries to create
and achieve the benefits of a solution with much less complexity,
in a shorter time frame and at a fraction of the investment.
In a typical business consulting engagement today, one of the
critical issues companies face is the ability to identify technology
enablers and creative solutions that fully support their strategy,
business objectives, and requirements. Management consulting
companies traditionally develop business processes and project
plans, but fall short of being able to provide the complete
answer. Clients can end up with all the right answers, all their
new processes and projects defined with full momentum developed,
but then have to seek out a technology provider who can either
build or support the solution options. They often are forced
to go through the process again with the technology company.
Conversely, companies who search long and hard for the right
technology solutions often find themselves with a great technical
project, but a business and organizational failure. Why? Because
they fail to consider both business and technical risks and
requirements, leaving their users unprepared to implement or
the organization unable to gain full ROI from their project.
“We have long-standing relationships with our clients based
on trust and integrity, and in G. A. Sullivan we found a partner
who shares our values,” stated Bill Nash, President of
Holland & Davis. “G. A. Sullivan has a proven track
record and excellent reputation for delivering enterprise technology
solutions in a way consistent with the standards expected by
our clients. Together with G. A. Sullivan, we will continue
to work with our clients to craft pragmatic solutions that translate
into real business value. Our mutual customers will benefit
by seeing an increased return from their technology investments.”
“Holland & Davis’ focus on organization change
management and strategy consulting plays well with G. A. Sullivan’s
focus on delivering enterprise e-business solutions, said Bill
McCormick, Sr. Vice President of Sales & Marketing for G.
A. Sullivan. “It is important for us to engage with customers
who are looking at how to improve their business processes and
are educated about the benefits of a well executed technology
strategy. We are pleased to align our technical expertise and
resources with Holland & Davis’ strong business model
and excellent management team.”
