Case Study #2 - Strategic Service
No one knows Tail Wind better than its strategic partner - IRIS Consulting Corporation.

Tail Wind has contracted and placed well over 150 Sr. Information Technology resources though IRIS Consulting, generating over $10,000,000 in revenue, serving and satisfying clients across multiple industries.

"We built a close relationship with our strategic Information Technology sourcing partner, Tail Wind Technologies, to leverage their ability to provide outstanding candidates for our growing client base", stated Mike, President of IRIS Consulting Corporation. "And, we leveraged this relationship to help us service further growth."

Here's a representative sample of our mutual success stories from the last 36 months:

• For a large local healthcare company affected by changes resulting from Medicare Part D. Our client was looking to us (and many other competitors) for over 60 expert level Information Technology resources to be staffed over the course of three months. Without sacrificing quality, we were able to quickly mobilize and land more resources for this effort than any other supplier (including several national vendors). Many of our resources were converted to direct hire, a testament to our quality and a welcomed service to our client.
• For a large local financial institution with an aggressive rollout of a new application. Our client's deadlines were driving the need for 15+ Project Management and Quality Assurance resources in two geographic locations here and in the Southwest. Because the application was in a mature stage of the development life cycle; the client needed to ramp up a substantial testing effort within a specific automation environment fairly quickly. By collaborating, our companies were able to exceed the client's expectations. As a result, we were invited to expand our presence in the Southwest location.
• For several other clients, large and small. Tail Wind's personal focus can make all the difference. Tail Wind played a substantial role in helping IRIS achieve Tier I vendor status with a new account relationship at one of the largest employers in the Twin Cities. Sometimes, quality and quantity are necessary and, in this case, Tail Wind assisted IRIS to move to the head of the pack by proving it's effectiveness in both categories. In contrast, for a new mid-sized account, Tail Wind provided a resource who became a strategic asset when provided to write a small application. This 30 day effort set the stage for future opportunities with this client.
