It's usually by word of mouth that our site is visited, yet lately there has been a surge in Google, Yahoo, and Blekko of queries for project management or financial management software for architects and engineers.
Unless you already knew about The Mint Partnership and Valerie Bianco, you found us amidst the companies who also speak to their expertise and knowledge in A/E finanical managment software, according high-level experience for the life cycle of their engagement with your firm. That life cycle is anywhere from 4 weeks to 6 months (or longer) depending on the size of your firm and the product you invest in, plus perhaps some of your own exceptions. That's more than a lunch date. Personalities count. Ask your Accountant. Or think of your Accountant. We have the idea that as an experienced project manager, it is artful to be engaging, amiable, diplomatic and positive, and that we are. System conversions are a big deal. We suggest you interview at least three (3) consulting firms to find a good fit for your firm's needs, e.g. budgetary and personalities.
Chances are, you're a decision maker and you want more than just verbage on a screen, you want candid answers from someone who understands your business reporting requirements, has hands on user experience with multiple A/E project and financial management software, has A/E business experience and speaks your language. That would be us, The Mint Partnership. Our team has done this for close to two decades. We engage at all levels quite diplomatically, thank you, while talking to principles of your firm (is this you?), your business manager or controller, your project managers, accountant and most definitely your IT person.
Candidly speaking, when we speak, our conversation will flow without sentences like, "how soon are you looking to ........." or "you know this price is only good for the next...........". That's because our focus is service. We don't mind if you've purchased elsewhere, or if you're about to purchase and want another professional opinion, talk to us. What we care about is powering up the knowledge base for you, our client, so you'll make an informed decision on your company's investment in financial management software. That's our chief, Topcat reason why we consult. Empowering en masse.
We're also a spiffy team of collaborators who enjoy getting your system correctly configured the first time (or getting you there after someone else's initial attempt), and tying all the pieces together so your people who need to access and produce in the system are doing so without a frustration headache. We aren't minimizing the effort involved. We're stating that we have the experience and intuitive business logic to plan it so it will feel effortless. Let's push that headache to zero gravity.
Whichever phase of your search you're in, contact us. Ask questions. We're very amiable. And animated.
Reminder: Power up your knowledge base.
