Our research and experience show that more than 80% of digital transformations fail to deliver what was promised.
We help our clients avoid that outcome.
Our differentiator is our client-first mentality. An organization’s digital infrastructure should align with the people, processes, and technologies that give it a competitive advantage. We help to develop a clear vision before matching our clients with technologies that will best enable their business goals.
We pride ourselves in being technology-agnostic, which means our experienced consultants “tell it like it is” without the influence of big software vendors. We accept no commissions, referral fees, or sales incentives from software vendors, and we hold no reseller agreements. One hundred percent of our revenue comes from our clients.
We advocate for our clients in direct conversations with the industry’s leading vendors to match them with the most effective resources, business process improvements, and operational change management strategies that will support their growth.
Our clients turn to Third Stage Consulting as their guide. We help them weigh cloud and on-premise options, design architectures that fit how they operate, and optimize supply chains that support growth.
Our consultants work as an extension of our clients’ team. We act as their main ally throughout the selection and implementation process by providing independent, unbiased guidance to help them navigate, negotiate, and resource their digital transformations.
From manufacturing, aerospace and defense, food and beverage, construction, and more – our work spans diverse industries and company sizes. We provide options that can achieve business goals and overarching strategies.
