Big 4 consulting firms, boutique Odoo shops, offshore dev houses, solo consultants. Each has trade-offs. Here's where we fit.
Vs. Big 4 consulting (Deloitte, Accenture, PwC, EY)
They win for Fortune 500 transformations $20M+ or board-level brand credibility. We win for mid-market to enterprise (up to ~10,000 employees) when you want senior people actually implementing — typically 40-60% of Big 4 rates, faster delivery.
Vs. boutique Odoo partners
They win on $20-40K single-module rollouts. We win on larger multi-module, multi-entity rollouts where the work is orchestrating change, migrating complex data, and integrating with a real enterprise. Most boutiques can't staff a 24/7 support bench.
Vs. offshore dev houses
They win on cost. We win on outcomes — higher success rate and maintainability. Many clients come to us after failed offshore engagements asking us to rebuild.
Vs. one-person-plus-subcontractors
They win on narrow technical skills. We win when you need a full team — design + PM + engineering + change management.
What's distinctive about us
- Senior-only squads. No juniors billing at senior rates.
- Honest estimates. First number is usually the last. No change-order games.
- Full ownership. Source, docs, and access. No proprietary wrappers, no lock-in.
- Long-term partnership. Many clients have been with us 10+ years.
- Implementation, not just advice. Every recommendation is one we could ship.
When we're not the right fit
We turn down work a few times a quarter:
- Engagements where cost is the only factor
- Fundamentally ambiguous scope with a fixed-bid expectation
- Organizations committed to a product that doesn't fit their problem
- Niche expertise outside our focus (e.g., mainframe migration)
If that's you, we'll say so — and try to point you to someone who can help.
