Magister Consulting was founded as a response to client needs for independent, pragmatic, cost-effective consulting services.  The larger IT focused consultancies typically view strategic IT consulting as the “tip of the spear” to sell additional services like systems integration, outsourcing, and managed services.  Though we do partner with firms that provide these services, our only business is providing our clients with the best, most reliable strategic advice.

Founded in 2004 by formerly a Consultant Manager with a Accenture, Magister Consulting employs a just-in-time staffing model.  Drawing from an extensive pool of experts, each engagement is staffed not according to who is on payroll, but who is the best for the client.  Because we don’t employ entry-level consultants who learn on the client’s time, and because we don’t have significant carrying costs while consultants are “on the bench,” we are able to price our services much more competitively than the larger firms. The result: unsurpassed quality consulting services that won’t invite a call from the CFO.
