1. technical consultants with updated knowledge came into more demand.
2. being on bench for a few months, most of the consultants were ready to work for rates between $40-60 per hour.
3. maximum number of consultants had been on bench for 2 to 6 months.
4. most of the consultants were willing to relocate anywhere in USA.
5. some of the consultants who are still on projects have applied for a new project.
Conclusion
04/10/2023Niraj Dubey 36
6. Most of the IT consultants currently working onBI in USA are males
7. The researcher found that the clients preferred graduates over masters or doctoral candidates; this also could be due to the rate asked by these consultants.
8. The industry in which last project done is important while submitting consultant to the client as the client organization looks for the consultants who have specific industry experience.
04/10/2023Niraj Dubey 37
Update the database with consultant’s information that is important while bidding.
The company can bid more projects that need more technical consultants as there is vast availability of technical consultants.
The company should bid more up gradation projects as most of the ABAP consultants are having last project on up gradation.
As most of the consultants are having last project done in Banking & Insurance, Healthcare and Manufacturing industry, the company should bid more projects in these industries.
The company must accept maximum projects on cognos software as it has maximum demand from the clients.
Suggestions and Recommendations
04/10/2023Niraj Dubey 38
It is recommended that the company can bid low for those projects that need technical consultants as most of the technical consultants are ready to work at low rates due to recession.
It can be suggested that the company must bid for the projects giving lower rate per hour for the consultants as maximum of the professionals are ready to work at lower rates. This will help the company to generate business during the downturn of the economy.
The researcher can suggest the company to keep the project duration lower as the client companies are not willing to spend more time in implementing the software hence increasing their cost.
04/10/2023Niraj Dubey 39
The company should not bid those projects that need more number of Administrators because there are only a few administrators available.
The company should bid projects that include implementation of financial accounting and control as there are more FICO consultants available in market.
The company must bid on most of the projects irrespective of the location as the consultants are willing to relocate anywhere in USA.
