HOUSTON, March 10, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- And Take Names, Inc., a provider of outsourced business and professional services, ranging from management expertise and project-based support to marketing communications and branding, for established and emerging companies, today announced a strategic partnership with The Forte Group, LLC, a provider of executive-level consulting services in capitalization, enterprise transformation, renewal and turnaround, and management expertise. The partnership provides each company's clients access to the full portfolio of the consulting services and the contract talent of the two firms. The complementary skills of And Take Names' project- and content-oriented associates and The Forte Group's experienced executives and consultants offer clients the broad range of capabilities normally associated with much larger consulting firms at the competitive prices and flexibility best delivered by smaller companies.
"We are thrilled about our partnership with And Take Names," said Martin Scheid, partner at The Forte Group. "We are particularly impressed with the smoothness, structure and predictability of And Take Names' client engagements. As we work with our clients in the areas of enterprise transformation, company renewal or turnaround and capital acquisition, the additional skills and 'get it done' attitude of the And Take Names team in support of our seasoned executives will further insure our clients' success."
This partnership is especially beneficial to small and mid-size companies who are in need of executive level leadership to make business enhancing recommendations and additional support personnel to implement those recommendations.
"Through this exciting alliance, our clients now have access to the seasoned C-level resources of The Forte Group and we have the opportunity to offer our services directly to The Forte Group's clients in a seamless manner," said Dee Pipes, President and founder of And Take Names. "In today's environment, we are seeing companies struggle with projects that may only be a few steps away from completion or that are stalled before starting due to resource or budget constraints. And Take Names is stepping in to absorb work not adequately covered-in either time or skills-by their existing staff. We look forward to bringing our award-winning associates and our successful engagement model to clients of The Forte Group."
