LateralThink, headquartered in Lexington, MA, was formed as a result of recognizing the need within the ERP marketplace for experienced, platinum level consultants.  This “elite” group of consultants will primarily focus on small to medium sized businesses always ensuring customer success and satisfaction. 

The collection of consultants organized by LateralThink are considered “black belt” consultants who specialize in rapid implementations and understand the mid market philosophy of implementing within this market segment.  This unique collection of resources have all worked together in the past and incorporate an unparalleled level of ERP expertise and team approach to always ensuring customer success.

The ERP professional services marketplace has evolved into two market segments.  The first market segment includes the large cap consulting companies primarily focusing on the fortune 1000 companies.  These firms often charge high rates for less experienced resources.  The other market segment includes smaller consulting companies trying to differentiate from the larger companies by offering lower rates, vertical solutions, and other pre-packaged solutions.

 Most of these companies have been unsuccessful due to large overhead structures, lack of strategic focus, and most importantly experienced key resources leading customers from beginning to end.  The sourcing strategies of most companies today include using tactical non strategic staffing agencies.  This approach is limiting often resulting in higher rates to the customer while providing sub par resources.

We believe at LateralThink due to our unique collection of resources and experiences within the marketplace we offer the best of both worlds.  Our rate structure is competitive with the smaller niche players while the resources we present will only represent the best.
