Portellus Inc., a developer of business-user-driven change-management solutions, and Technology Alliance Partners, a cross-industry business and technology consultancy, have formed a partnership to combine consulting and technology synergies focused on the delivery of rapid implementations, enterprise flexibility, low total cost of ownership, and high return on investment (ROI).

"The formation of a partnership between TAP and Portellus was a natural fit due to the synergies between TAP's solution delivery methodology and experience and Portellus' configurable approach to product design," says Richard Dolman, managing partner at Technology Alliance Partners. "Both companies are dedicated to providing customers with swift solution delivery, client empowerment, process agility, and low system maintenance costs. Together, these commonalities make for a complementary partnership in strategic business processes and leading technology that create a powerful competitive advantage."

TAP's business process-centric methodology focuses on creating a sound framework for process optimization, best execution, solution design, implementation best practices, and change management. Portellus' products are architected to be service-oriented and configurable, thus avoiding lengthy and costly coding efforts. Both companies are positioned to address the technology and business needs of multiple vertical markets including financial services, insurance, and healthcare.
