Client Response

Our clients are enthusiastic about the level of service and productivity they have received from MindGenuity, L.L.C.. Read what they have to say about us:


We initially created an IT department within our company. The expense, including salary, benefits, and restriction on time and resources, made it ineffective and cost prohibitive. When we switched to MindGenuity, L.L.C., our costs went down, productivity increased, and the continual monitoring has made all the difference.

We used to experience periods of downtime on a regular basis. Our operation would grind to a halt each time. Since switching to MindGenuity, we have experienced no down time at all. We are forever grateful!

When we first tried maintaining our own infrastructure, we were lost. We had several security breaches and almost lost a large portion of our market share. Since hiring MindGenuity, our security is better than ever, and our partners trust that our information is safe and secure. Thanks MindGenuity.

Five Reasons Companies Hire Consultants

Consultants come from many fields, including law, management, IT, and marketing. Yet however diverse their interests, consultants are routinely hired for the same general reasons. Here are five reasons why a company might hire a consultant.

Training.
Sometimes, especially in areas involving new technologies, a company's management team or staff will need to be trained. They may need to learn a new software package, or even a new way of thinking. It is often much more cost-effective for a company to hire an outside expert, a consultant, to train them rather than putting someone on the full-time payroll.

Objective Review of Business Practices.
When things just are not going according to plan, a company's management team is not always the most objective source of information. It is difficult for anyone to admit what they are doing wrong, or sometimes to even figure that out. That is where consultants come in. They can be more objective in their findings, since they do not have anything directly at stake with the company's success or failure. The consultant is generally brought in to identify the problem, and to help the company's management teamwork out a resolution strategy.

Objective Review of Products or Services.
Companies cannot always keep highly specialized experts on staff to evaluate every product or service they want to offer. It often makes more sense to hire an outside consultant. Some examples would be to hire a Marketing consultant to carry out market research for a new product, and IT consultant to fully evaluate and independently test a new software product or to hire a legal consultant to answer legal concerns in regards to a new product or service being offered.

Internal Problems.

Hiring consultants for internal problem resolution is routine. Examples could range from having consultant handle recruitment for new company positions to handling major disputes between employees, management, or even stockholders. The consultant would serve as an unbiased party whose interest is to reach a mutually agreeable solution to a problem, large or small.

Crisis Resolution.
The three types of consultants most likely to be hired to handle a company crisis are legal consultants, public relations consultants, and sometimes management consultants. This type of consulting work is reserved for major crises within a company or organization, such that current staff alone would not be able to contain the situation adequately. It could range from a major lawsuit, to an explosion or other disaster at the company, to finding out that a company's product is unsafe and needs to be re-called. These consultants are called in for "damage control."
