Choosing Drift ConsultingWhy Choose Drift?

There are several very sound reasons for choosing Drift as your corporate IT consultant:

Why choose Drift Consulting

The defining characteristic at Drift is professionalism that focuses on objectives and that enjoins strict attention to detail. This ethos has gained the trust and confidence of our clients and has enabled us to generate a track record of delivering what we promise.

We take a collaborative approach that motivates others within the client organization to share our focus on objectives. We build strong working relationships throughout the organization and share our knowledge and skills with client staff in order to ensure continuity once our involvement is over.

We are independent consultants. We do not have alliances with any software or system suppliers. Thus we are free to give completely unbiased advice. Should an external solution be required, we will propose what is best from both open source and commercially available systems. We will also ensure that all technical, business, compliance, legal, financial and administrative needs will be taken into consideration.

Changes in a business, whether caused by internal or external factors, can occur at any time. This is especially true in financial services where rapid responses to changing regulatory requirements are often needed. At Drift we are thoroughly flexible and react positively to unforeseen changes. We are adept at managing the need for modifications imposed by change on proposed or current systems.

Our communication skills are highly developed. We are experts in removing the incomprehension that arises from the inability of mangers and technical staff to communicate clearly and in providing a communication bridge between them. During a project we conduct regular communication sessions with senior managers and project sponsors to keep them continuously apprised of progress.

 

Drift Consulting BackgroundBackground

The principal of Drift Consulting is James Grimes, who founded the firm in order to demonstrate that IT consultants can satisfy clients through excellence in delivery quality and to provide an alternative to the mediocre standards currently prevalent in the IT industry.

After qualifying with a BSc in software engineering, James spent several years in software development and IT management roles with Symantec, General Electric and IBM before joining Itsmobile, a mobile technology and platforms start-up where he managed systems implementation across Europe, Australia and the USA.

After Itsmobile was acquired by Alphyra (now Payzone PLC) James became European Program Manager for Financial Services in Alphyra with responsibility for implementing Alphyra’s prepaid card products across Europe. During this time he was a member of several cross-organization management steering committees.
