As the new CEO, the selection of an ERP system was very important to lay the foundation for future growth.
Bringing on TSI to help us evaluate, select and then negotiate with the chosen ERP provider was a great decision. Their expertise and methodology allowed the team to feel confident that we were making the right selection and they were instrumental in getting buy—in from the stakeholders.

Barry Fay

CEO - Global Power Supply

We had TSI on several different phases: to quickly review our business and initial IT strategy, to streamline our processes and to evaluate and select new enterprise software. Every time they were on/under budgeted timeline and costs. They were professional, hardworking, completely objective and helped us in ways that I did not originally anticipate. I would highly recommend them.

TSI worked with us to complete a strategic technology assessment, which included the difficult task of coordinating and articulating our vision and strategy for new technology. The project was a great success: they ensured that everyone participated in the process, that all voices were heard, and that deliverables were on-time and distributed to all participants for thoughtful feedback. On a day-to-day basis, TSI was enthusiastic and dedicated to our work, always demonstrating that our success is their success. They have acted as key advisors to me and as coaches for the entire project team. We so enjoyed working with the TSI team and hope to continue to do so in the future.

CFO – Sagent Pharmaceuticals

Transforming Solutions, Inc. proved to be very adept in creating strategic and practical approaches to our complex improvement project. They gathered data efficiently and effectively, creating buy-in amongst our faculty and staff as they did so. Dan and Alan did this by spending a considerable amount of time on our campuses working directly with groups of our staff and faculty. Ultimately, TSI presented us with a detailed process map of our communications, identified key areas for productive improvement, and worked with us to tailor their final recommendations to our specific needs. The team of TSI does the job and does it well.

VP of Finance – Groupon, Inc.

I really enjoyed working with TSI, particularly, I loved the way you ran the brainstorming sessions early on, which can sometimes be extremely disorganized if not done right. I respect and admire your ability and instinct to facilitate discussions and to tease out useful information. I believe your success is a result of natural ability, and lots of hard work and preparation. I’d love to stay connected and to serve as a resource if I can be of value to the things you do.

Information Technology Services Leader – University of Illinois

TSI continues to amaze me in their ability to balance scope of work and flexibility and adaptability to the different cultural environments at the university. The quality of the engagement is always top notch regardless of the number of curve balls we throw at them. They are truly strategic partners.

The efforts on this project have been outstanding! I am very pleased with the progress you’ve made, but more importantly, your approach to tackling a difficult endeavor is exemplary and serves as a model for our Information Systems function.

Mike Caruso

CIO – Large Property and Casualty Insurance Company

The working relationship between TSI and our team has been virtually seamless. I was very impressed with the professionalism in email and phone correspondence, the quick turnarounds from our revisions and the expertise level of our direct consultant Stefan. Candidly speaking, I am currently managing 3 third party firms for this project and this by far is ranked #1 of the firms just based on how much of the work and follow ups were absorbed on TSI’s side. Not having to be involved in each detail, each call, each email correspondence and still receiving high quality work has made this a very smooth process. If Stefan’s work ethic is indicative of the entire TSI firm, I would definitely recommend TSI for future Home Depot work within our outside of our department.

Jillian Smith

TSI provided critical and invaluable assistance throughout project starting at the up front strategy, process improvement, requirements definition, software evaluation and continuing through with the implementation program management and change management. We would not have succeeded without their expertise, approach and professionalism.

TSI was valuable in providing deep knowledge and an outsider’s perspective including pros and cons of other governance models and how to go about implementing advancements in IT Governance.

Considering the complexity of our department, I thought it was amazing how you were able to get a handle on our processes so quickly. You provided the precise deliverables we requested within the time frame specified. There were no extensions to the project. It began and ended on time. Both of you have strong analytical skills that enabled you to provide a useable workflow analysis with ideas for future enhancements that can be easily implemented with no additional costs. The customer focus was fantastic.

Overall – Great job. I don’t think a “consultant” project has ever gone better. I felt the TSI group’s work ethic was exceptional and you really cared about our company. You come across as non-threatening and created ease of mind very quickly. You were punctual, prepared and planned the events of the day. I felt you showed a great deal of expertise in how we were going to help us improve our processes, organization and technology. You never showed any panic relating to our aggressive deadlines.

Brenda Horner

Very good balanced perspective… knew when to get into the details and when to let go…Strong technical skills and knowledge…grasped our business quickly and were able to provide good, relevant suggestions Willingness to move to less work, when the situation pointed that direction. Overall, I thought all of the phases of this project went exceptionally well. Enough detail, but not overkill.
