Blue Heron Consulting (BHC) was founded by industry veterans in 1999 who are committed to providing objective, high-quality consulting and value-based systems integration services to the marketplace focused on deployment of large scale business enabling software projects. Blue Heron presently serves multiple industries including utility, government, education, and healthcare.
What is Value Integration?
Webster's dictionary defines value as "The quality that renders something desirable or valuable." Value-based airlines transformed the airline industry in the late 1990s by providing consumers with affordable airfares they had never seen before. Today, Blue Heron is generating the same excitement and impact in the software industry by providing customers with cost-effective integration services.
We accomplish this by:
- Hiring top-notch industry professionals
- Utilizing our proven deployment methodology
- Leveraging project templates and accelerators
- Providing an independent, objective third eye approach
Blue Heron's knowledgeable and experienced consultants have extensive industry experience, performing independent IT audits and SAS-70 reviews, and are certified CISA (Certified Information Systems Auditor) and PMPs (Project Management Professionals).
The result - our standard implementation saves our clients typically 20-50% on their IT implementation projects. In turn, savings realized by using our services enable our customers to install best-in-class software while meeting budget requirements, delivering a quicker return-on-investment and an overall lower total cost of ownership (TCO).
Contact Blue Heron today to find out how you can cost-effectively meet your company's strategic software needs by using value integration services.
