Resolution

Burger Consulting Group developed a comprehensive plan to merge the various IT departments into a single support group to leverage the talent in place to better support organizational objectives. Burger Consulting Group also recommended replacement and key upgrades to core systems that were out of date and not meeting the needs of the organizations using them.
