Series (1): Industry is recognized in five types

Prayer of IT type

The prayer of IT type “started from system construction, but expanding the hand to high-level consulting field gradually, please think the prayer which reaches the point where you are identified consulting firm”.

When they are these days, because most IT enterprises offer a some consulting service, when it is such definition, “information system IT industry the whole” is consulting firm, also there is no either not saying.
Various levels and approach exist together in consulting of IT enterprise, it is boulder mixture.If as principal occupation consulting firm there is also about it has the consulting section of the same level, there is also a place of the level where the hair grows in the proposition book.
With these, as one binding, it has made the IT consul.

But I, in true sense, the enterprise which offers consulting think that it is limited to extremely part.

The primary receiving not being, consulting it cannot call

it, 1shoshi is a place where not following, consulting in the true sense of the word is that you can not provide.

1if you do not receive in the next, or interact directly with the management of client, for example, it should be the scope of the project ya, there is no reason that can be defined.
so, 1following documents in, the concept of consulting does not spoken.
2following documents, 3company: seifuku, even though even if they claim they are consulting, it, in a certain range determined optimization or introduction support they will remain in.

whether or not it is referred to as consulting?

they optimization or introduction support to, is also clear that that contains the elements of the consulting. but, if you can not navigate directly to the reform of the client’s company, in the true sense of fashion consulting i think not and can not say whether.

the client, well to introduce the system rather than require that, as a result of business since you’re looking for is.

the story was a little hot, ITabout system, area of consulting, approach for, because there is some type, i will try to briefly.
