CAS Inc - The Company

CAS Inc. is an independent IT & Telecommunications consultancy company, incorporated in 2000 as a wholly owned subsidiary of the UK parent company, CAS Ltd. 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, covering the following market sectors.

  • Health Care

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 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. Developed in 1980, when the company was founded, the principles have been adopted by the UK Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) and have been well received in the US marketplace.

CAS has memberships and affiliations with many other respected industry bodies, including The Business Continuity Institute, The Association of Project Management and The Texas Building & Procurement Commission and has recently become Qualified Information Systems Vendor (QISV).

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).

  • An officer 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.
