Me and several other Microsoft employees have been teaming up to start our own consultancy firm. The main goal is to offer high quality work for a substantially lower cost than Microsoft. The problem is we all have quite a lot of skills on our plates which makes it hard to pin point the focus of our business. I don’t want to overload our customers which long service lists as this becomes a turn off for many.

Any thoughts on how we can reduce our service list?

Here’s roughly what we have now:

• AI and Machine learning
• Data insights and analytics
• Data quality assurance
• Optimize infrastructure and deployment for cost efficiency.
• Moving systems to the cloud and scale.
• Architecture Reviews to Improve system performance and scalability.
• Improve security
• Develop proof-of-concepts for new tech.
• Integrating multiple solutions for efficient workflows.
• Training staff in various technologies
• Application and database performance reviews.

I also rather remove as much technical drivel as possible, and this is already a “simplified” list.

What do you think?
