Court Square Group Links Senior Managers to Channel Partners to Accommodate Rapid Growth.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. -- Court Square Group, a professional services consulting firm specializing in strategic information technology, business process and project management services, announced today that it is adopting a flat organizational structure that connects senior managers of its life sciences and managed services practice groups to the leaders of its channel and solution partners and their shared clients. The company is also relocating its Parsippany, New Jersey office to accommodate rapid growth in the mid-Atlantic region, a move that may include an acquisition. This week, Court Square moved its Marlborough, MA office to a larger facility to better serve the Cambridge area market. The Springfield, MA headquarters will be moving into a larger office space at the end of the month as the company continues to expand. Court Square was recently named a Pacesetter by the Boston Business Journal, which ranked the 60 fastest-growing privately held companies in Massachusetts.

"We have served companies regulated industries since 1995, and they always had access to our leadership," said Keith Parent, CEO of Court Square. "But as our life sciences and managed services offerings have grown more powerful, so have the number and complexity of our channel partners. Since we integrate and host industry specific software applications with these partners to complement our strategic consulting services, we want to make sure that our channel partners have direct access to our most senior subject matter experts. This will not only accelerate new partner arrangements but it will also streamline the development of new services and joint offerings.

Instead of communicating their needs up through partner or alliance managers, for example, Court Square partners will now be assigned a life sciences, information security or technology practice leader who can consult deeply on their issues and make quick decisions that yield positive, actionable results," explained Parent. "Large companies expect to reach our senior staff on a moment's notice. But you could argue that the smaller growth firms need such counsel just as much, if not more. So we stripped out the layers that separate our leaders from our channel partners and our shared clients, no matter what the size of the company involved. Parent concluded," The best business decisions are the ones you make following a conversation with a trusted advisor or team of advisors."
