Pierfranco Ferronato’s Experience

  • Senior Consultant

    Cutter Consortium

    (Public Company; 51-200 employees; cutter; Information Technology and Services industry)

    February 2006Present (2 years 8 months)

    I've have been invited to join the Cutter Consortium (www.cutter.com) as a Senior Consultant in EA (Enterprise Architecture).
    http://www.cutter.com/meet-our-experts/ferronatop.html
    Cutter offers a different value proposition than other IT research firms; clients -- who are *users* of technology -- get practitioners’ points of view, derived from hands-on experience with the same critical issues corporate and institutional IT professionals are facing, not the perspective of a desk-bound analyst who can only make predictions and observations on what’s happening in the marketplace. Cutter partners with consultants are experts in their field. More than 100 internationally recognized experts provide the content, consulting and training to its clients. Cutter has about 5,000 clients worldwide, mostly IT management in large firms, of which about 40% reside outside N. America. These experts are committed to delivering top-level, critical, and objective advice.
