Technisource provides the expertise to integrate technology, as well as, provide the critical component of human capital and know-how to make the technology work."

Below are a few highlights of customers that leveraged Technisource's capabilities:

• Fortune 50 Financial Institution – complex processes and procedures built around an aging and entrenched IT project management and estimating methodology led to unnecessarily high development costs and schedule overruns.  Technisource's re-engineered process resulted in savings to the client of 181,000 man-hours. This translated into approximately $11 million in annual productivity improvement.
• Global Intergovernmental Organization - supporting significant numbers of internal IT users with around-the-clock help desk support was a costly endeavor for this Washington D.C. based organization.  Technisource greatly reduced the client's annual help desk operating costs by outsourcing two-thirds of the Level 1 support.
• Global Financial Institution – the global firm struggled to find and retain qualified IT staff with the necessary experience and skills.  Technisource provided highly qualified candidates who improved job performance in such areas as reductions in system rebuilds and faster delivery times. By providing such talented and experienced personnel, the client was able to reduce its number of full-time employees by 55, thereby realizing a significant cost savings.
