Company Profile:
Providing Business Optimization and Project Management Consulting Services
Virtuoso opened Doors in October of 2008 to offer Business and Project Management consulting services in the Sioux Falls area. A collaboration of seasoned project and business consulting experts, with a diverse background ranging from IT and defense contracting to healthcare and human relations, the team sought to define a new level of professional services in the region.
President and co-owner, Julie Burke-Bowen, realized the expanding need for outsourced, high-end professional services. Drawing on her experience from firms like Ernst & Young and Deloitte, she sought to organize a team of consultants with varied experience and proven track records. As a team, Virtuoso set forth a vision of providing exceptional customer service, by committing to the business needs of each business partner.
Wise outsourcing brings a myriad of benefits to large and small companies. In addition to direct labor cost savings, outsourcing converts those costs from fixed to variable expenses. With access to a variety of specialists, companies can quickly convert the resources to changing and needs. Burke-Bowen recognized how these factors would affect the changing landscape of a credit-weary business climate: "Considering the economic downturn that we are experiencing, companies are going to be forced to adopt practices such as process re-engineering, project management, and change management to stay competitive. Virtuoso provides best practices from leading industries to fulfill those needs.” adds Burke-Bowen.
Services range from business process re-engineering, and implementation rollouts, to complete SDLC consulting and business crisis recovery. The individual needs of each company vary, Virtuoso offers the kind of specialized management skills that best fit each need. Staff consultants offer turnkey professional and accountable management, while senior consults offer more specialized knowledge. Rapid Recovery teams hit the ground running to assess the nature of the issue, offer immediate stop-gap solutions and finally map out a turnaround strategy. These teams have a wide range of experience and focus on immediate strategies for improvement.
