Well, first quarter is now in the books. March was the first month as a combined firm. As expected, we have some duplicate costs, which we identified prior to the deal closing. We have another two months for these expenses to be totally out of our system, so to speak. What’s more encouraging to me is that we are see signs of growth in our project business. I am really impressed with what our team. Our staff augmentation business continues to be holding pattern. Given the economic climate, we’ll take this as a positive sign too.
We are in the process of changing everything that was Endeavor over to BluWater Consulting. The new logo design is done. It’s simplified, with a slightly improved color. Looking forward to getting that out there.
I have had a chance to review the web design, and I like the direction and the messaging we are putting behind it. We are planning to launch the rebrand by Mid May. I have faith in the design team, they are doing great so far.
Another new effort for us will be BWC’s entre in providing Microsoft Dynamics AX consulting and implementation services. Given our firms experience, technical competency and fundamental desire, its a natural fit. Our first little goal is to get the Dynamics AX modules installed and in use here, within the firm. The good news is the install has gone well and the configuration is underway. Looking forward to getting the sales team off of spreadsheets and on to a decent CRM platform.
On a personal note, I am excited about my training on the bike as of late. I have added in some new stuff and I am think it is working…if nothing else, I feel it.
Stay strong and never quit!
