Impact on ABeam Consulting
The partnership between ABeam Consulting, a management consulting and IT solutions firm, and NEC, a pioneering information and communications technology specialist, has impacted the business consulting industry greatly.
The United States arm of NEC, originally an Asia-based company, had achieved successful deployments for some major clients thanks to its technological expertise. However, it became clear that greater integration was needed between software engineering and strategic business planning in order to truly leverage such expertise. Thus ABeam Consulting stepped in to provide the much-needed support in strategic business processes while also leveraging their expansive global network of IT professionals to ensure successful software engineering deployments.
Together this historic collaboration leveraged each partner’s strengths to create a business consulting service which allows companies to tackle both their technical and strategic challenges simultaneously through cutting-edge methods like Business Analytics and Cloud Computing systems; analyses that only became possible due to their combined capabilities.
Additionally their joint focus on client experience was further amplified with the implementation of the Collaboration Platform™ which enables customers to interact directly with engineers at each location via a consistent web interface regardless of geographic distance. This platform is yet another innovation facilitated by this union’s successes.
ABeam Consulting’s partnership with NEC redefined what could be expected from a management consultancy by introducing accessibly efficient problem-solving measures for large enterprises which no longer have to choose between putting strategic or technologic aspects ahead of one another – both can now be pursued with ease simultaneously thanks the capable duo’s commitment delivering unparalleled client experiences from set up through completion.
Impact on NEC

NEC was also able to publicly announce the successful completion of their integrated system and subsequently promote the use of B2B capabilities to expand themselves into various markets. The company saw substantial cost reductions across countries in IT infrastructure and globalization control compared to pre-project implementations because of ABeam’s skilled expertise in the IT space that moved the project forward quickly and efficiently. Furthermore, it allowed NEC leaders to focus on activities such as marketing, increased customer base in other countries, product development and business analysis rather than worrying about complicated tasks like system integration or development.

Because of its experience across multiple industries resulting from collaborations with other clients, ABeam Consulting was able to suggest highly creative ideas that made a substantial impact on NEC’s business model while enabling streamlined processes within their company.
