Unique Consultant Helps Companies
Implement New Technologies

July 28, 2000 - Washington, D.C.

Far from the average consultant, Stephen Eggleston’s multiple roles as analyst, manager, coach, advocate and educator help make him unique among technology professionals.

Eggleston works closely with management, information services, technology groups and other business units to help his client companies wisely adopt and implement both new and current technologies. With the completion of each successful project, his client’s team players can undertake new technology projects with less assistance from him, or other outside consultants.

Since Eggleston is not bound to any specific management function, he is free to use a variety of scientific and business methods and models to optimize both short term costs and long term effectiveness of technology decisions.

Eggleston’s deliberate lack of emphasis on "bit level" systems programming and structure can be compared to the role of the general practitioner versus that of a specialist. He is able to assemble, organize, direct and motivate experts, vendors, technical specialists and the client’s own in-house talent, and can view the global picture. This unique view of a broad range of technologies enables companies to relate one to another, and integrate them into their organization for maximum value and efficiency.

Eggleston’s company, Nuance Data Systems, and later, The Eggleston Creative Group,  was founded on the motto that "Technology should set you free, not make you crazy".

Even huge corporate databases are useless unless vital information is current, accurate, and easily extracted, understood and analyzed.

Eggleston helps bridge the gap between computer room and board room, and his commitment to end user computing helps assure that critical business information is readily available to the decision makers who need it most.
