An independent technology advice organization called Hartman Executive Advisors works with executives in the commercial and nonprofit sectors to match IT solutions with their objectives and plans.
Business executives today must make technological decisions that affect both their top and bottom lines. However, in actuality, business and technology are more entwined than ever before, despite the fact that technology is frequently seen as a tactical, back-office activity. The company's founders, Dave and Marie Hartman, had an idea for a model that would let CEOs collaborate with top IT and cybersecurity advisers who are knowledgeable about their sector and can support them in achieving their objectives.
Hartman has intense independence. Clients may trust that Hartman's advice is always in their best interests because, unlike other companies that provide IT guidance, the company neither sells nor makes money from any technology solutions. Fellow executives who listen to worries and maintain confidentiality make up Hartman's advisors. The co-sourced approach used by the organization is very different from conventional IT outsourcing. Co-sourcing gives a business a new degree of accountability and a more strategic emphasis than just offloading the function. Company executives work with Hartman to strengthen their own internal resources, gain from an advisor's specific knowledge and expertise, and eventually be able to pass that information on to up-and-coming executives. Through gaining a thorough grasp of the business obstacles brought about by misaligned technology and identifying the advantages of strategically aligned technology, Hartman paves the way for the advancement, cultivation, and exploitation of people, processes, and systems to alter and revolutionize organizations.
