Executive Expeditions’ CPA firm introduced them to RoseBud Technologies to explore how technology might help Executive Expeditions employees and consultants work together more efficiently.  RoseBud initially visited Executive Expeditions with the intention of delivering the Productivity, Business Intelligence and Collaboration presentations. When Collaboration was discussed, Executive Expeditions saw a new “window of opportunity.”

RoseBud performed an IT Assessment Review to get a baseline of existing technologies and better understanding of how the business worked.  We also met with a number of the employees to understand how they engage with each other.

RoseBud implemented Microsoft Small Business Server and Team Services Technologies for Executive Expeditions.  Now, the employees and consultants on any given engagement can coordinate schedules, share ideas, documents, and threaded discussions with each other and with select client representatives.  They needed sophisticated means of sharing common information, and common documents.  They needed consultants across the country to access this information wherever and whenever necessary.  Executive Expeditions uses group creativity as a cornerstone of its practice.  The collaboration technologies now add a new layer of support to
the business.

“We’d rather spend our money where we get the biggest return and leverage the best people. So our approach has always been, we retain the best. We utilize a premier law firm, a premier financial and accounting firm, and we go where we get the best support.”

“We need people we can rely upon, people we can build a relationship with, people we can draw-upon for both consulting and ongoing technical support.”John Schmidt, President, Executive Expeditions
