Symmetry Corporation, the Basis Experts, were featured in the ERPexpert magazine article “How to Manage a Remote Consulting Relationship.”

In an interview with ERPexpert, Adam Marcus, Director of Business Improvement at Symmetry Corporation, gave advice on the best practices for getting the most out of a remote consulting relationship.

“A lot of companies treat it as a straight vendor-supplier relationship and that causes difficulties. To see the most value from your remote consultants it’s important to develop a team-like relationship; good communication is fundamental.”

Choosing a remote consulting firm requires the same considerations as hiring any new team member. Marcus highlights how to go about defining your requirements, selecting the right consulting firm, preparing for the kickoff, and maintaining the relationship.
