When asked, Abator finds this a most difficult issue to address ... we have experienced so little turnover the percentage is in single digits. Historically the IT consulting industry does not view its technical resources with the same care and concern as Abator’s business model.  We recognize our consultants as a critical  leg of our equilateral triangular model.   As such, we have a history of establishing decades long relationships with consultants and customers.

Key issues in industry turnover generally include: payment issues; under/over-selling the consultant’s technical abilities; under/over-selling the client’s project description; contractual issues; and, intangible issues of relationship building – rapport, respect.

Abator has addressed these key issues in its basic corporate culture. We believe the most significant item we offer to both potential clients  and consultants is contact information for several Abator consultants.  Abator also asks both stakeholder groups to rate its performance on a regular basis. Beyond this:

• Abator consultants receive at least 75% of the billing rate in total compensation.

• Abator consultants are never submitted to a potential client without their specific approval and agreement to the terms of the contract

• Abator consultants receive payment every two weeks regardless of when Abator collects.>

• Abator’s contract agreements with consultants are clear and concise.

• Abator’s SAM integrated decision assist application was developed to specifically preclude slanting of technical skills, and tracks information regarding references and performance evaluations.

• We continuously strive to remain the best at what we do, and Abator was named “the almost perfect broker” in Computer Money, a reference book for IT consultants, authored by Al Canton published by Adams Blake in 1993.
