Wind Ridge International, LLC, is a resource and process management firm.  We specialize in improving processes and maximizing results in Information Technology (IT) software application development. IT changes at a rapid pace through globalization, evolution, and technological advancement. We provide our clients customized solutions based on industry’s best practices and training for today’s IT changes and resulting challenges.

Wind Ridge has many years of consulting with CIOs, CTOs, and other senior technology leaders around the globe. Based on experience and insight gained during these interactions, we have identified the following as the top challenges facing IT leaders today and in the years to come:

• Globalization
• Excess Workload
• Talent Recruitment and Retention
• Planning and Managing Organizational Change
• On-time Performance and High Quality
• Outsourcing and Offshoring
• Project Management
• Meeting Customer Expectations
• Data Management
• Effective Planning and Communication

IT organizations face more than one challenge simultaneously.  One of the current major IT challenges is the recruitment and retention of talent.  There is currently a severe shortage of qualified IT talent.  When a company is able to recruit a qualified recent college graduate, they are faced with the problem of effectively managing the Generation Y (or Millennial) worker.  This generation is unique from all preceding generations and requires special management skills.  Wind Ridge is experienced in helping companies meet this Millennial challenge.  Human Resource personnel have found WRI consulting and training extremely useful working with the Millennial.

The CIO/CTO clients of Wind Ridge International, LLC, often recognize they should make improvements.  However, they don’t know the specifics of what needs to be improved or how to implement those improvements.  

To determine if your company would benefit from our services, ask yourself the following questions:

• Are we experiencing, and failing to meet, any of the IT challenges for the 21st Century?
• Are we experiencing difficulties delivering projects on-time and on-budget?
• Is our IT organization not performing up to expectations?
• Are we having difficulty planning and implementing outsourcing projects that succeed the first time?
• Are we experiencing difficulties integrating the millennial into the workforce?
• Are the millennial creating workforce and managerial problems?

If the answer to any of these questions is “Yes,” then Wind Ridge International, LLC, can help.  Our team of experts independently assesses the entire IT organization, including the interaction between IT and its internal and external customers.  Clients who have implemented our recommendations, or who have received our assistance in implementing them, have experienced one or more of the following results:

• Improved on-time and on-budget delivery of projects
• Structured methodology and standardized processes that pass the Sarbanes-Oxley independent audit the first time
• Successful integration of the Millennial into the workforce
• Successful outsourcing projects that are well planned and executed
• Improved customer satisfaction.
• A return-on-investment (ROI) that is consistently 10% or above
