CIO Review magazine recently named WGroup to their 2017 list of “20 Most Promising IT Service Management Solution Providers”.

Selections were made by a panel of expert CEOs, CIOs, and analysts, who determined the top companies offering “tailor-made and efficient solutions” for IT Service Management, which aims to streamline IT utilization within organizations.

CIO Review reached out to WGroup after hearing of our services in the marketplace. The panelists believed our focus on run optimization was exceptional among consulting firms, and that our data-driven, business-first perspective on optimizing IT was essential to elevating the maturity of service delivery and service management within organizations.

Two-thirds of a typical IT budget is spent simply on maintaining IT operations. As the need for digital transformation has migrated from nice-to-have to mission-critical, this math has to change. That is our mission. WGroup is extremely proud of this acknowledgement because it recognizes our commitment to clients and the quality of our work. This is further evidenced by our growth: we’ve more than doubled in size the past two years, and now have more than 100 consultants working in Fortune 500 and midsized companies across every industry.


Next month’s issue of CIO Review will also feature an interview with me as part of the Top 20 feature. Read more about the award here, and learn more about WGroup’s unique peer-to-peer approach to IT optimization and digital transformation here.
