Having fractional access to top-notch, executive-level technology expertise can prove valuable to many organizations, in many ways, and in many situations. Adivvyo provides a variety of consulting services to fit varying needs, as described below.
Retained consulting services provide clients with a guaranteed minimum access for a fixed, minimum monthly retainer fee. Retained agreements allow the client and consultant to get to know each other in a far deeper and more meaningful way, and to truly partner in ways that can create optimum value from the relationship. Examples can range from engagements that leverage a consultant's deep industry expertise to roles such as Fractional Chief Information Officer, to give advice and lend support to an organization's Head of IT, CFO, and/or CEO. Engagements also sometimes include the need to bring other consultants in to work on a project, and when conditions warrant, Adivvyo does that with a small team of highly qualified sub-contractors.
Short-term engagements are often best suited for project work, where the nature of the engagement is relatively small and has a well defined scope and duration (weeks to months). Examples include things such as source code reviews or audits, identifying skills needed and/or missing in an organization, authoring related job descriptions, etc.
For many years, Adivvyo's founder has provided micro-engagement consulting through firms such as Atheneum Partners, Coleman Research Group, GLG, GlobalWonks, Guidepoint, and Lynk Global and has consulted for several of the world's largest corporations, well known private equity firms, and market analysts. These engagements are typically done through one or more, one-hour conference calls.
