Professional Services in the Cloud 

This blog will contain a collection of articles focused on technology professional services in the post COVID digital age.  

Cloud computing has shifted how businesses run. IT departments have to act and react faster than ever and rely on hired help from technology consulting firms.  

These firms help create cloud computing strategies, select and implement cloud applications, and operate the systems for their customers. 

This blog chronicles how the modern technology services industry works and how software firms and consulting companies work together.  

It's an inside look at the mechanics of technology consulting, covering real-life examples from the single person staff augmentation contract to multi-million dollar global projects with dozens of consultants, sub-contractors lasting many months or even years.   

The stories will include positioning the firm and team to win, selling projects, scoping work, partnering with software companies, the staffing process of matching skill, availability, location, and culture.   

This series of articles through 2021 will share down to earth, practical examples from buyers, sellers and project managers. I will provide in-depth looks at financial performance, hiring, and human resources to close out this operator's guide to running a technology professional services while the IT industry migrates everything to cloud applications.
