Akili’s solutions turn data into knowledge clients can trust for their next major decision. Akili’s long-standing client relationships speak to their expertise, client-focus, and results-oriented standards of excellence. All of Akili’s consultants are full time employees of the firm, and collectively uniquely qualified to work on every aspect of an implementation from software selection, product installation, implementation, developing and delivering training, assisting in organizational change management, and continuing with application management services. Akili’s core purpose is to provide business solutions with a clear, measurable result. They understand that it takes more than technical skills to be successful. Akili focuses on business needs as much as technical needs. Their projects are not deemed complete or successful until the stated business objectives are met. They strive for continuous improvement by emphasizing the prevention of errors through “best practices” methodology, building in quality and improving processes. Fundamental to their business is the acceptance of full responsibility for meeting all client requirements. Quality is the responsibility of every employee and each share in the benefits derived from improved quality, efficient systems, and satisfied customers. They have a 100% success rate of implementations. This is reinforced by their customer’s continued partnership on subsequent projects which speak volumes about their abilities. A successful solution implementation requires you to bring a variety of skill sets to the table – and not just technical skills. While they are an IT services firm, they train their consultants in the business function of the products that they implement. Akili is a professional services organization and in many ways their people are their product. They understand that their ability to consistently deliver world class solutions to their clients is wholly dependent on their ability to attract and retain world class team members. Their vision is to create a work environment that gives their people the opportunity, encouragement, and recognition they need to truly excel at what they do. It is only by building a great team that they can build a great company and it is only by building a great company that they can deliver the consistently high level of service that their clients have come to expect and to rely upon. Akili always delivers because their people always deliver.
