Ever since that time our professional relationship flourished and we contact GSC on a regular basis for advice with various business aspects and value their thought leadership.

It has been a pleasure working with Great Sands Consulting on our IT advisory. When we engaged Great Sands Consulting, we wanted a firm with expertise to review our business processes and map it to our then existing IT landscape and confirm if they are in alignment to our highly complex business processes cutting across the Oil & Gas services.
The quality of the work of GSC is outstanding. The approach to Business – IT alignment, technical review of the IT systems, architecture and processes and above all their ability to connect the business processes to IT enablement makes them to be a innovative technology services firm.
They have been candid in their recommendations that helped us to take a firm decision on a scalable and complex ERP implementation and building our IT centers of excellence.
Our experience with GSC has been excellent and we would highly recommend them to any business looking to engage them on IT advisory services.
