As a Management Consulting firm to the Global 1000 and new
venture startups alike, ThreeRiversGroup brings tremendous
net-it-out experience that can change the course of a
product line, a division, and in some cases, the entire
company.
ThreeRiversGroup has accumulated large libraries of
processes and methodologies that have been developed and
enhanced over the last 20 years. These processes and
methodologies cover the spectrum of industries and include
the following engagement focuses:
-

In addition to these engagement activities, the principals
and consultants at ThreeRiversGroup have advised and
licensed software to some of the worlds most recognized
software giants, such as IBM, BMC Software, and Microsoft,
and have built and licensed software and solutions for a
large number of the Fortune 500 and Global 1000 companies
across the world.
These same principals were founders of companies very early
in the eCommerce and eBusiness era, creating and leveraging
unique business models and technology. All total, they have
influenced dozens and founded many companies with most of
them taking the M&A route with large international public
companies, such as Internet Capital Group (NASDAQ: ICGE),
and IMRglobal (NASDAQ: IMRS) now CGI (NASDAQ: GIB).
Additionally, as venture investors and management
consultants, they have influenced many other technology
companies and are constantly sought after for advice and
counsel for startups and mature companies alike. These same
principals maintain many long term relationships, board
level relationships, as well as board positions with many
companies.
These same founders have helped start international offices
and divisions after their M&A transactions and post M&A
support. They have pioneered new international spaces and
in some cases shutdown new international ventures for these
public companies that were too early to the market or
misaligned.
At ThreeRiversGroup we understand that at most large
companies today, IT organizations are under tremendous
pressure to deliver tangible results within the same
financial year that an investment in IT is made. The
executive management teams in these companies have been
frustrated too many times by initiatives that ended in
failure or muted success. As a result, they have been
reticent to speculatively invest large sums of money and
wait long periods of time for a return on these investments.
Therefore, IT organizations within these large companies
face a dilemma: if they outsource key aspects of their IT
infrastructure to solve immediate problems, they get a
tactical victory, but by doing so, they may compromise their
strategic ability to control those vital services to ensure
business continuity or to modify and extend those services
as the needs of the business evolve.
