4 interim.team v Competitors We only use people who have been there and genuinely done it our people are ex Google, ex Betfair, ex Amazon.. We don t hire graduates and put them on client sites after a 12 month training course like other companies! There are no long contracts or tie in with us..easy in and easy out when we re done One Big 6 professional services contract is 230 pages long..it can take more than a year to get it signed! We work with our clients to get things done..we want to make the client s people and teams better.. The Big Six want to do things for clients and make themselves indispensible.. We focus on making our clients successful..we want to get things done, create another happy client and then move on as quickly as possible.. The Big 6 want to land and expand, to stuff the client with as many consultants as possible and be difficult to displace.. We re not afraid to tell it as it is and there is no incentive for us not to do so. We have a huge range of experience working with all technologies and vendors..we will do what is best for the client..we won t say this is the solution, now tell me about the problem.. The Big 6 are trying to have long term engagements in as many areas of the company as possible so are very reluctant to rock the boat and really challenge the orthodoxy. The Big 6 like to form commercial relationships with vendors that are not always optimum for the client.. 4
