References Are Important!
An often-overlooked, but critical step in choosing a consultant is company
references. Only past clients can provide a truly honest appraisal of the
quality of a consulting firm's work.
DCS strongly recommends that you contact references prior to selecting
your consultant. Extensive experience alone does not always infer a job
well done. Other important aspects include timeliness, quality of work,
understanding of the subject matter, and the ability to develop cost-effective
solutions to complex problems.
References will be gladly provided upon request.
DCS has a long track record of well-satisfied clients.

guideline to evaluate how well our past experience and customer
satisfaction matches your needs. It may also be used if you are preparing
a competitive solicitation, and require an objective method for comparing
the references of multiple consulting firms.
