I keep the company of
Cambridge Technology Partners, Inc.
because of the core business values that we represent
The Cambridge Difference Our core values set us apart from our competition. They drive our growth by enabling us to share project risk with our clients while delivering strategic business solutions that improve their competitive positioning. And they help us manage our growth by providing consistency as we open new offices, introduce new services, and enter new markets. Our core values include:
A Focus on Innovation We deliver growth-oriented solutions that yield a high return on investment - solutions that make our clients smarter and faster than their competition, not just down-sized and more efficient. As a result, projects quickly pay for themselves, promoting high client satisfaction and repeat business for Cambridge.
The Need for Speed We deploy these innovative solutions rapidly, while they still have strategic impact. With our methodology, tightly integrated services, and developmental efficiencies, we can deliver results in unprecedented time frames - typically within three to twelve months.
On-Time, On-Budget Delivery We commit to the success of our deployments with fixed time/fixed price contracts. Integrating technology-based solutions can be risky - many clients have been burned by "runaway" projects with significant time and cost overruns. Our approach lessens the risk to our clients and imposes a discipline to deliver projects on time and on budget.
The Soft Skills To ensure that clients use the solutions we deliver to their full potential, we focus on more than their technology component - we also address people, behavioral, and organizational issues. We build consensus on objectives and functionality and gain buy-in from all parties - up front - to ensure that everyone is "on the same page" and committed to the project's success.
Knowledge Leadership and Transfer During projects and through our educational services, we willingly transfer the know-ledge and technical expertise we've gained over hundreds of client engagements. Our executive education programs, including the Cambridge Management Lab and Cambridge Information Network (CIN), teach us about the issues our clients face and give us the opportunity to teach them what we've learned from experience.
Business-Driven Results We craft technology solutions that support our clients' business strategies and prioritize functionality to ensure that every component of the application creates business value. This strategy prevents clients from lengthening projects with "nice to haves" that won't create strategic advantage. It also enables us to deliver the return on investment promised at the outset of the project.
