Ten Reasons Why Athena IT Solutions Will Make Your Next Data Warehouse Project a Success

1. We offer the advantages of a small firm with the experience of a Big Five firm. Because we are ex-large-firm consultants, you know you're getting top talent. We've done huge, complex projects that other small firms only dream about. But you won't pay Big Five rates. With every budget dollar being scrutinized these days, don't you want to get the most for your money?
   
   
2. We've built and consulted on data warehouse projects for an impressive list of clients in a variety of industries. We've been there and we've done that. We can do it for you.
   
   
3. We're the actual consultants who worked at those big companies. We're not going to show you a list of companies that other, more experienced members of our firm worked at, and then send an inexperienced consultant to work for you. You only get the best.
   
   
4. We pre-date the buzzwords. We've been doing data warehousing since before people called it that. No, we're not a bunch of old dinosuars. But take a look around and you'll see that we have more years of experience than you'll find anywhere. Wouldn't you like to have that experience working for you?
   
   
5. We've got a proven track record. We've already solved just about every kind of data warehouse problem there is. Chances are, the challenges you've got in your company are like something we've seen and already fixed before for someone else.
   
   
6. We'll get it right, right away. You're not paying us to flounder around, learning on the job. We'll hit the ground running.
   
   
7. We're not just techies enamored of the latest "cool tool." We understand your business, too. We've worked with finance, marketing, sales, manufacturing, engineering, R&D, actuarial, administrative, and all levels of executives. Sure, we've been to MIT and RPI, but we've also got MBAs. We completely understand why your business needs a data warehouse and what the return on investment should be.
   
   
8. We're experts in the field of data warehousing. We've been asked to speak at industry conferences, teach courses, and write articles for national publications. Who do you want working for you, the teachers or the ones still learning?
   
   
9. We're local. The obvious benefit is that you won't pay to put a consultant up at a hotel for several months. But there are two even bigger benefits. First is that our reputation depends on your success. The New England data warehousing scene is a small world, and many of us know each other. Second, we're your consumers. We're treated at your medical facility, we buy your products, we use your services. We care more about your success than anyone thousands of miles away ever can.
   
   
10. We're educators. We'll stick around after the project to make sure everyone on your team understands what they need to know to keep it a success for a good long time. We've taught before, so we know how to make complex topics clear and simple.
