Ikelos Services

Business Line #1: Consulting Support Services

Ikelos provides a suite of support services tailored to the needs of independents and small consultancies. By outsourcing these labour and technology-intensive tasks, our clients are able to increase their capacity to do what they do best, while not increasing their own labour overhead. Our research assistants and consultants deliver benefits to our clients in each of the following areas:

Our services match each stage in the project lifecycle, from marketing support through to the production and delivery of final reports.
We pride ourselves on our ability to quickly integrate our operations with those of our clients. Through this commitment, we are able to help our clients spend more time on what they do best, and help them do it better.

Business Line #2: Research and Analysis

Ikelos continues to develop its capacity to provide professional services at reasonable rates and with limited headaches. Currently, our team brings its skill and attention to detail to the following service areas:

Through the use of proven prototypes, Ikelos is able to approach each assignment with a clear understanding of required steps, timelines and costs. We provide our clients with a service that is of consistently high quality, on time and on budget.

Business Line #3: Product Development

Our third business line is driven by Ikelos staff who see the potential to develop a specific area of interest. These dreams are supported by Ikelos management, and the entire team has the incentive to see them succeed. Currently, Ikelos consultants are engaged in two product development processes:

This slow-growth business line produces products that (i) benefit Ikelos by improving existing processes or methods, (ii) benefit our staff by providing an environment for individual inquiry and development, and (iii) benefit our clients by maintaining our commitment to innovation and dynamic growth.

Synergies

Each of Ikelos' business lines stand alone, and indeed they each provide independent marketing and business opportunities. Ikelos' commitment to efficiency, effectiveness and professionalism however, truly shine at the intersection of these business lines.

In the Ikelos environment, each of these business lines interact with the other. For the Services business line, one of the primary clients is in fact the Products business line. The Support business line provides support to each of the other two. The Product business line generates time and energy-saving innovations that can, in many cases, be used by the other business lines.

This synergy and our internal reward program combine to motivate our team to constantly try to do what we do better, faster, and for less. We aim to compete, and in the absence of external competition, we compete with ourselves. In order to be sustainable, the gains derived from this drive for productivity are passed on to our clients, our coworkers and our community.
