Practises & Areas of Expertise

The Associated Search Group has segmented the I.T. Candidate market into different practices and areas of expertise:

Infrastructure / Telecom

This is the backbone of the Internet as well as home network and, by its very nature, encompasses Network Security, PKI and Voice/IP among its many manifestations. Our expertise in this field is focused on 2 market sectors: The Carriers/Service providers who employ all aspects of the Infrastructure spectrum, and the vendors and service providers that supply the market, both Consumer and Enterprise, with niche services and products.

Customer Relations Management (CRM)

ASG understands how important it is to know where your business is and we selected this specific area for just that reason. CRM connects and gives decision makers the view they need to all the areas of business important to achieving bottom line success. We source professionals with expertise in this area whether you are a CRM vendor or a customer that uses CRM tools to help run your business.

CRM additonal benefits:

• Supports businesses across a wide variety of industries and vertical markets.

• Provides solutions for midsize businesses that integrate Accounting / ERP, CRM, e-commerce and partner collaboration capabilities.

• Companies can now manage their multi-national and multi-subsidiary business operations in real-time around the world.

• Applications for smaller businesses that integrate the front and back office, managing sales, service, accounting and Web presence.

• Solutions for businesses large and small with customer-centric view to manage initial and on-going relationships over the phone, in person, or on the Web.

Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP)

ERP systems attempt to integrate several data sources and processes of an organization into a unified system. A key ingredient of most ERP systems is the use of a unified database to store data for the various system modules. A common database is the system that allows every department of a company to store and retrieve information in real-time.

Functional Practice

This field was isolated from the strictly technical realm because of its heavy emphasis on the human interaction factor and its relevance to successful project delivery. The candidates that The Associated Search Group represents in this field are Consultants by nature. Contributors to their success include that fact that they understand the role of communication, they obtain buy-in, and they help enterprises implement, migrate, deploy or upgrade products and / or services that impact productivity and the bottom line. These individuals always have the right mix of technical knowledge, strong communication skills, functional subject matter expertise and they are sensitive to deliverables and watershed events.

They are:

Project Managers

Business/ Systems Analysts

Solutions Architects and Engagement Managers
