Business Description
The Registry, Inc. ("The Registry" or the "Company") provides information technology (IT) consultants on a contract basis to organizations with complex IT operations. The Company currently has more than 1,400 IT consultants placed with its clients to assist them in implementing solutions for systems and applications development in such areas as distributed network design, database design and development and client/server migration. These consultants, billed primarily on an hourly basis, typically work on engagements lasting from six to twelve months. In 1995, the Company provided IT consultants to approximately 350 clients in a diverse range of industries, including MCI Telecommunications Corporation, Putnam Investments, Inc., Digital Equipment Corp., Pepsi Cola International and Pfizer Inc. The Company believes that its ability to identify, attract and retain qualified IT consultants is critical to its success. Each of the Company's Resource Managers recruits in one of five technology sectors, thereby enabling the Company to more effectively match the needs of its clients with the skills of its IT consultants. The Company has also established a National Resource Delivery Team (NRDT) which provides access to consultants from across the nation when local resources for a particular skill set are scarce. To enhance retention, the Company actively remarkets its consultants and offers a comprehensive benefits package.
