Benefits of Choosing a Technology Consultant with Multiple Specialities

When bringing a consultant into your business, you expect them to bring value in a specific area of specialization. While you don’t want a consultant who claims to be an expert in everything, the value of a consultant who offers several areas of complementary expertise is often underestimated. Below are a few areas where they can add tangible value to you and your organization.

1. Transferrable Knowledge

Working with one technology consulting organization which offers multiple complimentary specialties offers some major perks when it comes to transferrable knowledge. When the time comes to exchange knowledge and information between team members, technologies, etc., doing it within the same consulting firm will allow for accuracy and ease.

2. Continuous Improvement

Technology-related initiatives often have a phased implementation approach. This can translate to continuous improvement for the technology and overarching business objectives. If you were to have one consultant for your team's CRM software and a different consultant for your digital marketing efforts, continuous improvement would be made in silos for each technology. Instead, using one consulting firm for both technologies allows the business to move forward instead of running in place.

Imagine being in a scenario where a roadblock comes up, and your consultant owns the responsibility for both technologies. You can be informed that an issue came up, but the marketing team and CRM team collaborated internally and fixed the issue behind the scenes. The burden of coordination and communication between consultants has been lifted off your shoulders and lies with your one consulting partner. Long-term business objectives are captured and built upon with all the historical knowledge of the implementation in one group.

3. Efficiency

Efficiencies for your team come into play right away when selecting a consulting team who can add value in multiple areas. The time it takes to fully vet consultants and choose the best one for your company can be daunting. Cutting that time in half automatically makes your decision-making process more efficient. There are also many aspects such as communication, billing, technologies, processes, and familiarity that allow for notable efficiencies and therefore overall notable business growth.

4. Cost savings

Every consultant has a unique pricing structure in terms of how they charge, what they charge for, and what is included or not. Using one consultant with multiple, complementary specialties can often allow you to use purchased services for any of the specialties they represent, allowing for flexibility. The ability to be nimble instantly allows for cost savings and an increase in overall value.
