Transform Information Challenges into Opportunities

We work with your organization to clearly define and scope your information-based projects and, with our talented pool of undergraduate and graduate students, fulfill your project goals while providing our students with invaluable real-world experience.

The iConsultancy provides a diverse set of information-based services designed to meet business-critical problems while challenging our students.

Our Approach

The iConsultancy provides overall project management and support to ensure a successful project for you and a good learning experience for students, from initial scoping to final deliverables.

  • Working with our clients, the iConsultancy develops a project scope of work that will guide our student teams each semester.
  • Under the guidance of industry expert instructors, each student team will work with the client directly to ensure that the project needs and deliverables are well understood.
  • Project teams will provide you with regular updates on their progress throughout the course of the project. The project will be continually tracked by both the instructor and the iConsultancy to ensure that the project timelines and deliverables are met.
  • At the completion of the project, you will receive a final project presentation and detailed report along with any other deliverables defined in the scope of work.
