| Business Description |
| The company is a management consulting firm that devises business strategies enabled by information technology and manages the implementation of those strategies. The company was founded upon, and continues to stress, a business culture in which strategic consulting and IT expertise are optimally integrated to provide superior client solutions. The company believes that the distinguishing qualities of its consulting process are its ability to synthesize strategy with technology, deliver solutions with measurable results, deliver services through small multidisciplinary project teams and maintain objectivity in solution recommendations. The company leads its clients through a process which broadens their understating of the ways that IT can be incorporated into their businesses to gain competitive advantage in their markets. |
| Competition |
| While the company believes that no one firm competes with it in all service areas, several firms compete with it in one or more areas. The company's primary competitors include management consulting firms, systems integrators and firms that provide both management-consulting and systems-integration services. The company believes that it competes favorably with these firms. In addition, Diamond believes that future competition will also come from new entrants into the market. |
| Business Plan |
| The company's goal is to become the leader in the development and deployment of business strategies that are enabled by IT. As a professional services firm, there are two constituencies critical to the realization of this goal: the company's professionals and its clients. Accordingly, each of the following strategies focus on developing, attracting and retaining the company's professional and clients. 1) Develop a culture of multidisciplinary teams, 2) develop long-term client relationships, 3) identify and disseminate intellectual capital, 4) develop diamond brand image, 5) refrain from entering into hardware or software agreements. |
