Home | e-Advisor Service

The Hickory e-Advisor Service is focused on the successful completion of I.T. and application development initiatives needing recovery. This rapid response program delivers highly skilled specialists who combine clear thinking with a practical ability to identify new ways to overcome challenges.

Hickory's approach parallels the process that a patient undertakes with his physician when attempting to diagnose and treat an illness. The presenting conditions are first documented; the potential causes for these conditions are then analyzed to establish which, if any, are present. Corrective action is determined, planned and finally, executed.
