A recently unveiled service, thevirtualconsultancy.com, introduces the concept of virtual consulting, offering an alternative to traditional consulting services.
The online service provides management consulting methodologies, business assessment tools and resources said to assist companies in improving their business processes.
Mark Lee, CEO of thevirtualconsultancy.com, says the current business environment makes the introduction of this service especially pertinent. He explains that companies are looking for alternative ways to solve problems and how to do this at a substantially reduced cost.
According to thevirtualconsultancy.com, the services offered are able to assist companies in examining all of their major business processes, including human resources, supply chain, sales and marketing, and finance. At the same time, the site provides access to virtual consultants, who can provide online support to customers looking for more in-depth assistance.
“This end-to-end process helps companies adopt a 'back to basics' approach to doing business, ensuring the fundamental aspects of business are done correctly. This helps businesses work out where their current business processes differ from best practices,” offers Lee.
The introduction of thevirtualconsultancy.com does not necessarily herald the death of the traditional consultant, according to Lee. “What we are likely to see is the dawn of a new era for consulting where online tools are combined with the tactical use of more niche consulting services to solve business problems.
“The site will not directly solve all your business problems, but it will empower businesses and management to work through the issues, find the best solutions, and make better decisions for the future, all at a cost well below what has been possible before,” concludes Lee.
