Did you know that 1 in 5 US IT resources are H-1b workers? Recent changes to how the USCIS enforces H-1B work regulations put many of these resources at risk of losing their employment status. Many of these resources go through multiple layers of vendors which reduce accountability, increases consultant volatility, and increases costs. This puts client's projects at risk of losing key project resources in the middle of their projects with little or no notice. Regardless of whether employers believe that the US Government will really enforce the January 8th Nuefeld memo, H-1B consultants are now looking for more direct client projects which has introduced even more instability in the resource community. We have a unique strategy to help our customers shorten their resource supply chain which will increase consultant dependability, lower project costs, and reduce project risk.

The benefits of our strategy are:

1. We have a plan to fix your current exposure and give you a dependable strategy for the future.
2. Two things are true if you are acquiring resources through multiple layers of vendors. You are either paying too much or your consultants are not being paid enough. Both are bad
3. We are a US firm that is uniquely positioned to solve this problem. We have deep experience in the area of multicultural employees, so we are well positioned to understand this market, but we are also a US lead company that understands how best to work with you.
4. We have a solution that can scale to your needs so we are prepared to handle all sizes of customers. We have over 18,000 applicants currently looking for new jobs and our database is growing rapidly as more and more consultants come to us to ease their fears of working with an inefficient multi-layered vendor solution.

In addition to this very unique solution to solving unknown project risk, our firm helps our customers with unique strategies in two other different areas such as:

Confronting global challenges
The current global economic downturn has driven companies to be more efficient and to cut cost in order to succeed in a very challenging market. Most companies have known for some time that quality talent is available in the overseas market at a fraction of the cost of domestic IT resources. The key challenge has always been finding a way to overcome a lack of sufficient in-country knowledge to compete for and acquire the available talent without losing much of the cost advantage in the process of acquisition. Additionally, costs for domestic talent from large consulting organizations have contributed to cost pressure for successfully delivering key projects for their business customers. The challenge in the current economic environment is how to cut costs across the organization while maintaining quality and without increasing risk.

Lowering project costs by reducing Big 4 consulting costs
While moving headcount offshore is a proven strategy for lowering costs, there are ways VantageForce can help you reduce project costs domestically. Consulting firms have a long and successful history of working with firms on new projects. Staff Augmentation firms have traditionally not competed in this space because of the inherent differences between working on projects and typical staff augmentation. Because of these differences, staff augmentation is typically driven by cost factors; but in the projects arena, risk or finding the right resource for the job, is the most critical factor. VFI has worked with some to the largest firms in the world to perfect a model called Three Tiered Architecture that minimizes risk, improves resource quality, and reduces project costs.
