Capstan Services

The Capstan Difference
We believe that the best way to provide top notch Information Technology services is to be an information technology professional. This is why Capstan Services was formed by Information Technology professionals. We believe that there is no substitute for experience. Other companies staff Recruiters and Consulting Managers that are experienced only in recruiting or consulting and train them to know all the latest IT buzzwords. They may be able to talk the buzzwords, but how can this person properly help you to hire someone to manage your network and routers when they have never pulled a cable nor programmed a router? We have the experience. So before you sign your next consulting or staffing contract, ask the person your are working with if they have ever experienced these situations. WE HAVE!

- Have you pulled Cable / Fiber through a plenum?
- Have you configured a Router?
- Have you performed a software deployment?
- How many programming languages have you written in?
- Have you built and deployed servers?
- Have you performed unattended client deployments?
- Have you built a virtualized server environment?
- Have you done a physical to cloud conversion?
- Have you managed a 100,000+ seat software deployment?
- Have you managed an IT project team?
- How much money have you saved a client by automating processes? We have done all this and more and you will see immediately how our extensive IT backgrounds and industry experience makes us stand out from other staffing and consulting firms. We have not only "managed" or "hired" people to do these things, we have actually done them. This is what makes Capstan Services uniquely prepared to fill your next IT position or provide consulting services for your next project.... We don't just talk the talk, we roll up our sleeves and get down in the trenches to provide the highest level of IT services. How is Capstan Services Different? Staffing

Them: Other Staffing firms are out to fill a job for you. They live in the past where high fee's were the standard and you had no other choice then pay the fee or put an ad in the newspaper. They expect to send you a bunch of resume's and then have you interview 3 candidates before you mail them a check. This is the same business model that they use for all sorts of fields from Information Technology to Human Resources to CEO's. Capstan Services: At Capstan Services we know that the world is changing.... FAST! We know that your business needs to keep costs down and that much of your hiring is going to take place on the internet. It's common sense to staff certain positions yourself. We also know that there are times that you may not have the skill to fill a position in your Information Technology department. This is why we ONLY staff Information Technology professionals and we do it more economically than our competition. We are information technology professionals ourselves and we know how to find you the BEST people with the LEAST EFFORT. Consulting

Them: There are two ways that our competition provides consultants.

1. Traditional staffing firms provide contract consultants. You get 3 resumes and then you get inflated bills.

2. Large consulting firms provide project based consultants. You get a turn key project and then you watch the project balloon out of control. The problem with the traditional model of consulting is that you have two choices. Staffing firms provide a head, but you are left to make all the decisions yourself. There is no expectation that you will get anything more then a temporary worker that you need to manage yourself. There is also the option of hiring a "turnkey" consulting firm, but these large companies tend to over promise and under deliver. Often these large consulting firms "estimate" the number of hours a project will take and then the reality is a very different story. Where do both of these models fail? In both cases the hourly rate is incentive to stay as long as possible and bill you as much as possible before ending the relationship. Capstan Services: At Capstan Services we have lived these realities over and other again as both clients and consultants. What we know is that there needs to be a relationship that goes beyond the project. This is why Capstan Services wants to be your partner in consulting. Our consultants know that your project has a beginning and an end as well. We also know that if a project runs smoothly and comes in on or under budget that you may choose to use us again not only for other consulting opportunities but also to fill your staffing needs. We also know that at the end of certain projects there is a need for additional staff to maintain the hardware or software that was upgraded or deployed. We hope to show you that we can exceed your expectations on the project and then seamlessly fill any staffing needs when our consultants leave. This is not just as shameless marketing tactic.... It is also our incentive to help you keep your project on track and under budget.
