D.H. Andrews Group Announces Name Change and Premieres New Web Site

Since 1984, D.H. Andrews Group has been helping organizations understand and make effective use of information technology. In recognition of significant growth and broadening of the services it offers, the company has changed its name to Andrews Consulting Group. The company is widely known for the hundreds of easy to understand reports it has published about various aspects of information technology and for insightful observations made by David Andrews, its founder, and its other analysts.

The name change, a new web site, and the associated publicity are intended to focus attention on other aspects of this unique and highly successful business. "A number of things make Andrews Consulting Group different from any other IT services firm," explained Andrews. "We don't just write and speak about IT; we bring a unique combination of business experience and technology expertise to each of our engagements." Besides combining industry analysis with technology, Andrews Consulting Group differs from other consulting companies in the way it attacks projects. "Our highly innovative RITE Approach (Revolutionizing IT Effectively) allows our clients to see positive results in much less time and at a lower cost than expected. A recently completed project cost the client less than 10% of what one of the largest IT services firms in the world estimated." Success rates far above the industry norm have been the direct result of the combination of the the RITE Approach, a highly experienced professional staff, and insight into which products work best.

Andrews Consulting Group's new Web site, www.andrewscg.com will offer visitors the ability to download a preview from Andrews forthcoming book about the RPM ideas that have proven to be so successful with client engagements. Visitors to the site can also sign up for newsletters and publication updates.
