Welcome to the website of
Spyglass LLC
Spyglass
LLC is a progressive Madison, Wisconsin
based IT consulting firm focused on
providing an alternative approach to traditional technology consulting.
We are interested in working with IT departments that require quality
consulting and are looking for an outsourcing relationship that is more
cost-effective than a traditional staff supplementation model.
The Problem: Traditional Consulting
Many consulting firms prefer to place consultants at customer sites as
full-time employees for as long as possible. For the consulting
firm, this is a great deal. The consultant will continue to
generate revenue without additional sales effort. Unfortunately, for the
customer, this is not always an ideal situation.
Internal IT personnel are frequently busy and cannot always spend time
working with a consultant. The consultant, then, will inevitably
face periods of "downtime" where internal personnel input is required
for further action to be taken. Downtime of this type is common in
any work environment, however, the primary problem with consultant
downtime is that the customer pays a premium for the consultant to sit
and wait. At Spyglass, we firmly believe that a customer should
not have to pay for a consultant when the consultant is not working.
Our Solution: The Spyglass Approach
Our approach is specifically designed to lower consulting costs by
creating an outsourcing relationship in which our customers are not
paying for consultant downtime. We understand that many IT
departments require outside assistance, but we also understand that
outside assistance may not be needed eight hours a day every day of the
week. So, instead of pushing our customers to hire our consultants
full-time, we offer a variety of flexible options including subscription
services and part-time project assistance.
