ARCANUM philosphies: |
Consultants vs. Sales ARCANUM is built on a true consultative model that distinguishes itself from other so-called consultants who earn revenue streams based on the sale of goods. Instead, ARCANUM builds value into solutions by managing vendor relationships and facilitating technology procurement without becoming conflicted by self-serving interests tied to reseller mark-ups. Therefore, ARCANUM prefers to be considered a Technology Source, where we pass cost savings through to our clients on the purchase of vendor products or facilitate the direct acquisition of vendor products on our clients behalf. |
Clients vs. Customers ARCANUM operates as a true consulting firm, recognizing that our clients are not customers who are purchasing unit-based goods. ARCANUM strives to deliver technology value to clients through strategic alignment with each clients Business Model. Vertical Market specialization is a key success criteria to that strategic posture, providing focus on the cross-section of Technology within the targeted industries we serve. |
Strategy vs. Tactics |
Sponsor Approach ARCANUM is successful in delivery of solutions only through a Sponsorship relationship. Strategic visibility occurs at the executive level, and allows for accountability to ROI and ROE. Clients who embrace Technology with an executive Champion are able to leverage their technology investment into organizational efficiency and competitive advantage. ARCANUM is able to coach client executive leadership through a process of I.T. strategic thinking in order to maximize and empower their own Champion role. |
Extended Partnering Functioning as a Consultant at the Strategic level, ARCANUM is able to become a Partner with our Clients and extend value through to their Clients. From adding Technology capabilities to our Clients SOQ to fulfilling technology-based requirements established by an Owner, ARCANUM is poised to provide our capabilities transparently throughout our clients organization and projects to the cumulative benefit of our clients and their clients. This changes the nature of our relationship with our clients from a Vendor or Service Provider to a Team Member and Sub-Consultant. |
