Client Solutions
Who we are and what makes us different
Vantage Force, Inc. is a staffing firm unlike any staffing firm you have seen before. We offer our clients innovative and unique strategies that will help you find and mitigate risk, reduce costs and give you access to new resource options in your organization. We can do this through three basic areas:
Recent changes to enforcement of US immigration laws through the USCIS Nuefeld Memo can put these resources at risk of leaving your project unexpectedly because they could lose their legal work status.
If you have resources that are not direct employees of your staffing and consulting vendors then one of two things must be true. You are either paying too much money or your consultants are not getting paid enough. Both of these are bad.
Have you ever had problems with consultants who leave projects early and unexpectedly? Have you had consultants show up who don't have the technical skills you thought they had based on a phone interview or resume? Have you ever felt like you where not getting the level of consultant you thought you should be?
These are the problems that are caused by getting resources from vendors who are subcontracting to your prime vendors. First, all of the vendors in a multiple vendor supply chain must make a profit therefore it is inefficient thus you are either paying too much or the consultant is not getting a fair market rate. If a consultant is not getting a fair market rate then they are unstable because they are always looking to get a better rate. Vendors who are not your direct suppliers often make up resumes or give their consultants help during the interview process because they have no reason to provide you with an honest service.
VantageForce directly employs its consultants and has deep experience in maintaining foreign work visas. We also have a VantageForce Certified Program which is designed to verify the skill sets and work histories of our consultants and work with those who need improvement instead of just falsifying their skills. This allows you to take maximum advantage of lower price points without the associated headaches common in this industry.
Lowering Project Costs
In today's challenging economic conditions, firms are looking for new ways to control project costs. Firms often rely on a single vendor to provide project resources which result in fewer resource options and no price competition once the project had been awarded and work is already underway. VFI understands that different types of firms bring different types of strengths to your successful
project strategy. The Multi-Tiered Architecture Strategy (MAS) was designed by VFI to take optimum advantage of these unique differences while delivering maximum cost controls and reducing project risk. The MAS strategy mixes the strengths of different types of vendors on your project team and provides the methodology of how to make them work together. Major consulting firms bring expertise in project planning, estimating, business process re-engineering and in general "been there, done that" know-how. Their disadvantage is their cost structure dictates a very high per resource cost model. Technology vendors bring highly specialized expertise with their products and bring the benefit of commitment to see their products successfully implemented. Their drawbacks are also a high cost per resource structure and limited areas of expertise, usually restricted to their products. The Multi-Tiered Architecture strategy is designed to allow you to take advantage of the important contributions of these types of firms and add our unique value proposition from VFI. VantageForce has demonstrated a successful track history of delivery, a full understanding of the technology, and a knowledge of how to successfully work with the other vendors. Our value add to your project team is as follows:
There is ample evidence that shows a talent war is approaching and in some cases, the effects are already being felt. According to the International Data Corporation (IDC), there will be a shortfall of nearly three million IT workers between the current workforce and the number of jobs that will be required by the year 2016 in the United States alone.
Companies that have already off-shored some of their IT staff to countries like India are quickly discovering that the cost advantage is disappearing.
India is expected to have a shortfall of over 150,000 IT engineers and 350,000 business process workers by as early as 2010. That is why leading-edge companies are now looking to emerging markets to keep their costs low.
VantageForce has experience delivering quality IT talent to some of the world's largest companies in emerging markets in Southeast Asia, South America, and Eastern Europe. VantageForce can be your company's partner in these markets to deliver the talent you require.

Lowering Project Costs

- Lower overhead structure resulting in a lower per resource cost.
- Minimal bench investment, so often we find a better candidate because we are always looking for the best resource fit rather than what is currently available on our bench.
- We look locally first so our resources are more often than not people native to the region which results in lower travel expenses incurred and better availability.
- We have proven customer success stories that demonstrate we can make this model work for you.
- We give you resources with key project knowledge that can stay with you so that you can sever ties with your implementation partners at the appropriate time thus saving costs.
- We provide a sanity check on what you are paying from other vendors. They will sharpen their price points if they know a lower cost vendor is delivering the same level resource as they can at a lower price point.
