Hi I run a small consultancy firm in one of the western countries…sorry can’t disclose our identity and invite spammers…One of the major challenges faced as an emerging consultancy firms is to STAY FOCUSED on our core business expertise and GROW before we become a HISTORY. As an IT consultant, I have burnt my fingers so many times that I have lost the count. I tried infinite resources like online marketplaces, bidding sites, online popular directories and short listed Web and Mobile programming service providers at competitive rates from South Asia Pacific countries. Most had two attributes in common - COMMIT and FAIL ;-) As a consultancy firm, we help businesses in our region in meeting their IT needs using open source programming in corePHP # Mysql and Mobile Application Development and programming needs in iOS, Android and Blackberry mainly. We also help local travel agents with their online reservation system needs in B2B and B2C, enhancements or plugins modifications in Joomla, Wordpress, Magento, Drupal and other content management systems. Consistent failure in each of the above segments from our Service Providers in South Asia Pacific countries led to negative impact on my emerging consultancy firm, its productivity and our commitments. Ultimately, it was our brand on stake. Clients in our part of the world are very conscious about QUALITY, TURNAROUND time and VALUE-ADDITIONS which can’t be sacrificed. It is important to say that we follow FAIR PRICING POLICY for a WIN-WIN model but were still on the LOSING side until we learnt about THE HOUR BANK (THB) MODEL. THB is an amazing, unique and new concept which allows IT Consultants, Individual Business Owners (IBO), Emerging Small & Medium Businesses, Large Enterprises and IT Companies to PICK, SWITCH and CONFIGURE skills any time during their project tenure, NO QUESTIONS asked and NO EXTRA PAYMENTS. It is an open, scalable, independent Business Platform synchronized to Resource Pool of Satisnet Technologies. Main features of THB are:

� 4.5 years+ experienced resources and 55 hours per week working capacity for quick delivery � Unconditional & Unrestricted Access to skills pool � Select, Switch & Configure skills (or resources from resource pool) anytime during the project � M2M (month to month payments), No Contracts � Focus on your Core expertise, build NEW engagements and Get +ve reviews � Total Control through our Task Management System � Complete Control on your costs � Fixed hourly rate for any skill, no questions asked

Personally for us being still an emerging firm, THB model is beneficial because my Business Analyst is free from:

� Endless hours spent on Skype in explaining end client expectations � Endless hours spent on Quality Audit of the work being delivered � Endless hours spent in preparing Business Requirement Documents (BRDs) , Technical

Analysis Document, Quality Audit report � Negotiate pricing, payment terms and conditions � Push for deadlines, remind commitments and emphasize on milestones

Statistically, we discovered that with an extra investment of 30% in The Hour Bank Model (THB) we SAVE 80% on our Project Monitoring and Execution processes which is now invested in growing business, gain positive feedback and has increased referral business for us.

I am sure THB will work for you if it has for US.
