A key attribute that sets Zethos apart from other system integrators is our concept of the Open Engagement. Many consulting firms treat their expertise as proprietary. Instead, Zethos works side-by-side with client personnel to ensure knowledge is transferred. As a result, at the close of our engagement, in-house Information Systems organizations are well positioned to manage new projects or maintain their systems and meet future challenges.
This partnering philosophy has three major components:

• Open Dialogue is the ability to develop effective two-way communications with both the users and management. This concept also focuses on understanding and getting involved in the clients business.
• Open Projects ensures that the relationship between Zethos and the clients team is truly a partnership, with a planned knowledge transfer of technical and business skills.
• Open Team is key to being able to assemble the best team for the engagement. Zethos is firmly committed to the clients need for best of breed in teams. We encourage our clients to assemble the best team from multiple sources.
