Using the 20+ years experience in consultancy gained in the UK, along with the international experience of its consultants, CAS has increased its worldwide presence from the UK and Thailand to include the US. CAS covers the following market sectors:

CAS' hallmark is the ability to concentrate on the details of an assignment, while keeping the clients overall strategy in view. Acquiring a firm understanding of business needs, developed through a close and long-term relationship with the client, is key to CAS' success. As an independent consultancy, CAS maintains strict vendor neutrality, offering expert and impartial advice at all times.

CAS' reputation stands on the excellence of service delivered to its clients. To this end, all CAS consultants are experienced, highly qualified specialists, typically drawn from the management tiers of major corporations.

CAS adheres to both the TIA Code of Conduct and to it's own quality assurance program. The principles have been accepted by the UK Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) to the extent that CAS is a DTI listed consultancy and is the preferred supplier for a number of NHS regional authorities.

From its prestigious offices in Westerham, Kent, CAS has expanded on an international level, with a US based company, CAS Inc, incorporated in 2000. From its office in Houston, Texas, and New York City, CAS Inc is able to offer its full complement of services to a broad range of clients.

A recent addition to the CAS portfolio is a technical authoring and training service. Specializing in producing clear documentation and bespoke training, it has links to LearnDirect with its extensive range of IT, technical and management training courses.

Approach

CAS' continued success in a highly competitive market is due to its breadth of expertise and the systematic approach taken to ensure that clients receive a superior service. Whilst the approach is tailored to each individual client, it broadly follows the same framework:

• At conception a Business Process Review is conducted to develop a clear understanding of the clients' needs and to maximize their Return on Investment (ROI).

• A Director of CAS is appointed for the duration of the project to guarantee quality control. Acting as the Auditor to the project they oversee the observance of and adherence to Terms of Reference, the feasibility of proposed solutions and establish technical and financial accuracy.

• For each assignment CAS consultants work to a pre-defined set of milestones. Regular meetings are held to check progress and address concerns.

• The CAS charging policy means that the client pays only for the specific work carried out by consultants. Overheads, such as management and administrative fees are not added.
