Hi-Tech consulting firm boasts 15% year over growth providing solutions to government, health, and fortune 500 institutions

Silver Spring, MD, April 20, 2011 – Software Consortium, a Maryland consulting firm, celebrates 20 years of consistent 15% new business growth and leads the tech sector with steady performance and high emotional intelligence (EQ). The company, known for its keen business acumen and sophisticated talent base, serves a diversified range of enterprise, governmental, health, and mid-market clients in the Mid-Atlantic region. It is recognized as a top Minority Business Enterprise and the fifth largest software development firm in the Baltimore area.

“We are proud to have performed so well through both recessions,” said Janet Amirault, CEO of the Woman-Owned Small Business (WOSB). Amirault’s commitment to measured growth stems from her strong background in accounting, information technology, and a clear vision for planned diversification. Software Consortium expanded geographically to the Washington DC area during the last tech recession; today its DC practice represents their largest branch, serving commercial and governmental entities who rely on the company for high-impact, high ROI solutions. “When the Great Recession hit, the company maintained its growth rate due to our team’s outstanding performance, planning, and strong commercial and State Government practices. Currently, we are poised for more opportunities with the Federal Government with our GSA Schedule 70, as an 8M-qualified WOSB, and a skilled team in place for federal contracts,” adds Amirault.

The company backs their strong experience up with credentials--a Microsoft Certified Partnership since 1994 and an IBM Advanced Level Partnership since 1998. Long-standing cultivation of EQ expertise in their consultants has been instrumental in creating highly successful outcomes with clients and partners. Developing EQ skills has also been a popular topic of their knowledge sharing technology and management seminars, which are offered at no cost to the IT community. (IT professionals can join the seminar mailing list at the company website.)

“What keeps us in this leadership position and makes us unique are the individuals who make up our teams,” adds Peter Fianu, CIO. “Yes, they are highly technical in diversified software areas and applications, but as importantly they are trained in emotional intelligence. This equips each consultant to work side by side with our clients to synergistically and systematically provide technology solutions to address a wide range of customer environments and needs. The 20 year milestone and growth rate is a true commitment to customer service and support.”
