Why Hire Oxymoron?

Here is just one example:

We were contracted by one of the world's largest accounting firms, based in New York City, and asked to design, then manage a project.  The goal was to remove all non-licensed software from their accountants' two thousand desktops and laptops.  The split was about even, one thousand of each, desktop and laptop.  The reason was simple:  any unlicensed software on these systems constituted a possible federal violation of copyright laws.  No license = violation of the law.  An accounting firm must show the highest level of ethics, as an example to their own clients.

We spent three weeks designing and testing the project on computers we were given for this purpose.  As we were getting set up to run the project, two separate groups within the accounting firm made predictions. (We never did learn if they had an office pool ...  If they had a pool, we would certainly have put a little on ourselves!)  The first group, the Help Desk, speculated that it would take us thirteen months to complete the project.  The second group, more of a project-oriented group, predicted it would take us seventeen months.

We disagreed with both of those assessments, and told the firm that we would require no more than six months to complete the project.

We completed the project in four months!

Along the way, we gained a reputation as "those geeks on the fourteenth floor;" employees started calling us for help.  When they did, we directed them to the Help Desk.  They came back to us and explained that "... the Help Desk was backlogged," and had told them they would not get assistance for two or three days.  Naturally, they were impatient.  So, we started to provide support, as time allowed, to those associates and accountants who needed immediate assistance.  With this kind of turnover, the Help Desk could have claimed us as their own ... an extension of the Help Desk.

The Help Desk manager chose not to see us as another resource for his department.

However, we still were able to complete the project in record time.

Now it's your turn!  Call us to see how we may help your company save money and tighten up operations!  We can help you find holes in manual systems, as well as computer-based systems.  We will then create a project plan to resolve all issues in a timely fashion.  And finally, we will complete your project, on time, and within your budget.

The deal we make with all clients, new or existing, is we will meet with you, discuss your situation on the phone, or web conference, and spend time learning about your situation, for no charge.  Even if it take an hour.  Then, we will draw up a plan, and verbally advise - in general terms - how we would approach your systems needs.

Why are we good at what we do?  Because we love what we do!
