Our Company
Active Wire is an IT consulting company founded in 1996 to serve the Mid-Atlantic business community. We provide enterprise application development and software integration services to our corporate clients. Active Wire's senior consultants bring 4 key strengths to each engagement: technical proficiency, effective communications, business acumen, and industry specific expertise. Instant Productivity is our distinctive advantage: the ability to step right into a new environment and immediately begin to improvise/innovate towards a desirable solution.
Our Competitive Difference
Our senior-level consultants have the skills and experience to be instantly productive in the first hour of the first day on a new engagement. This level of achievement requires a weekly commitment of (non-billable) time for training, seminars, research, etc. For this reason, we neither seek nor recommend 40 hour/week contracts. Many Staff Augmentation vendors can provide 40 hr/week task-specific contractors; however Active Wire's senior consultants primarily serve a different space.Technology Neutral
Active Wire is a consulting firm, not a vendor. Because we have no particular sales relationships with any hardware or software manufacturers, our clients can be assured of unbiased technology recommendations which always represent the client's best interests.Principal Consultants
