Get accredited supported expertise at a competitive price.

On occasions there has been a preference in our customers for a price conscious alternative to off-shoring or using the general contractor market when delivering a BI project.

MB have addressed this demand by deploying an Author Tier to our model of supply which in affect allows for the customer to use under their management an accredited, remotely supported level of expertise at a price point that allows for delivery to be local versus offshore.

Why risk losing key personnel mid project or have to cover the cost of doubling up resource in order to transfer project knowledge. We ensure continuity of personnel and guarantee knowledge transfer .
