Taliferro IT Consulting Philosophy
Alignment
In 1997, Paul Strassman said, "Aligning information systems to corporate goals has emerged as the number one concern over the last five years in surveys of information systems executives".
Today, his words are still true.

What is Alignment?
Today, information needs to travel between different software applications but goes through changes, which translates, repackages or regroups the information as it passes from one application to the next. The result is information that is lost or incorrectly transformed and often has to be re-entered, inaccurately.
Taliferro IT Consulting™
brings seamless information alignment to company data that is easy to retrieve, and provides significant savings in worker hours needed to deal with entering information into several applications.
Disparate, unaligned systems cost money.
For a typical 500-person firm, a monthly savings of greater than $25,000 are attainable** through aligned processes.
*Forrester Research, 2003**Based on corporate directory and service center savings, as well as 10% reduction in meetings for managers, who industry estimates suggest spend at least 30% of their time in meetings.
