Drivers for Staff Downsizing
- The company had gone public and had received a very large influx of cash. This money was overspent quickly, and both bloat and waste had set in.
- This small company of 185 employees had an IT staff contingent of 15 people that included a standard IT operations team, several contractors, and a separate group dedicated exclusively to ERP implementation.

- The situation was characterized as “dire” by the company’s executive
