Transforming Ourselves
Kanbay is a new breed of professional services firm, stripped of unnecessary bureaucratic layers and steadied by a clear-eyed commitment to deliver single source solutions, with heightened efficiency and responsiveness. By combining strategic insight, deep industry expertise, and an agile, global delivery model, we've created a wholly unique approach that addresses our clients' need for self-renewing change.
Our distinctive marketplace strategy is committed to three key deliverables:
- Operational efficiency
- Innovative solutions
- Transformative expertise
Characterized by speed, cost-effectiveness, and agility, our global delivery platform offers a more balanced alternative to that of the large global players, yet it offers all the delivery capabilities of top tier-one firms.
Through key internal investments, strategic alliances and targeted acquisitions, we have furthered our reputation as one of the world's most efficient end-to-end solutions providers. The result: the ability to fulfill a broader range of needs for a more diversified client base. Through a vigorous process of transformation we have:
- Advanced our current capabilities to embrace a broader range of formal management consulting.
- Realigned ourselves to support our deep domain expertise by emphasizing vertical industry sector practices.
- Deepened our core strength in Financial Services and enhanced the scope of our offerings in Consumer & Industrial Products, Communications & Media, and Life Sciences.
- Extended our outsourcing and maintenance solutions to reflect Centers of Excellence across a number of areas and technologies.
Transforming the Industry
More than just the business vision of one company, our transformation reflects a fundamental shift in the professional services industry. On the way out is the traditional, siloed concept of onshore and offshore. In its wake comes a new client service model in which the delivery of work streams is fundamentally transparent.
It is this significant, new model that Kanbay is pioneering, with a marked difference. Traditional large professional services firms may offer innovation, but at a steep price, translating into a higher cost of ownership. Kanbay offers an integrated single-point solution delivered in a seamless fashion. The client benefit: a lower total cost of ownership and improved return on investment.
Kanbay combines the best of all worlds-focused industry expertise, deep service offerings and proven global delivery-into one agile and scalable firm. Our evolution has allowed us to:
- Achieve the global infrastructure essential for the professional services firm of the future.
- Initiate a new industry dialogue on what constitutes a best-of-breed single source provider.
- Position ourselves to play a truly transformational role in the IT services industry by coupling management consulting capabilities with a cost-effective, agile delivery model focused on clients' emerging needs.
Transforming Client Organizations
The rapid pace of technology and its impact on business place unprecedented demands on our clients. As those demands intensify in the near and long-term, clients will continue to rely on us as their partners in transformation.
Thanks to our aggressive program of strategic investment and targeted acquisition, we are ready to respond with a highly flexible, fully integrated suite of management consulting, technology integration and development, and outsourcing solutions, all which are provided through a proven global delivery platform.
As the technology environment continues to fast forward, we will:
- Sustain the infrastructure and resources necessary to stay ahead of our clients' business needs.
- Continue the expansion of our advisory and integration services, creating a consulting firm capable of transcending any technology life cycle.
- Provide clients with seamless end-to-end global business solutions with service line leadership that transcends technology trends.
- Use our strengths to support continuous, self-renewing change.
