Announcing the formation of P. Garrett & Associates, Inc.
As many of you are aware, after careful consideration I have finally decided to take a leap of faith and form my own company.

There are many reasons why I felt now was the time. Probably the most significant factor is my observation that the consulting services industry is undergoing a major change. Gone are the high flying days of the 90s. Some of the notable industry changes from the client perspective include:

* the desire for smaller more senior teams who leverage a clients internal staff;
* a strong focus on knowledge sharing;
* recognition that often the lower cost is achieved by using more senior resources;
* an unrelenting downward pressure on pricing;
* the willingness to hire smaller, independent consulting companies; and
* unwillingness to pay high overhead.

Other factors that influenced my decision are that personally I can tolerate more risk than when we had four children at home and the idea gray haired consulting  just sounds like fun.

My areas of consulting specialization remain unchanged. I will focused on:

* IT Outsourcing Assistance (I have negotiated nearly 3 billion in contracts)
* Mergers and Acquisitions  IT Due Diligence & Strategy
* IT Performance Assessments

Over the last 30 years I have worked with many of the worlds top companies and consultants and I look forward to working with many of you again in the future.

If you need or hear of situations where I can be assistance I would appreciate the consideration and a call.

Subject: Fletcher On The Move

Dennis Fletcher has just finished up a 20 month assignment for the storage group at Digital Equipment Corp. You can see his work on the StorageWorks Website (www.digital.storage.com) under News/articles. He is back doing what he likes to do best - assisting emerging technology firms with the planning and execution of their marketing.

He says the advent of the Internet and Intranets has allowed him to conduct his consultancy from anywhere, so he recently moved to York Beach, Maine (featured in the December Sports Illustrated as the best surfing beach in New England) and is enjoying this deserted summer playground before the tourists arrive.

Subject: Web site design/development

I have recently left the teaching profession and launched full-time into web site design and development. I have been designing and developing web sites, as a hobby, for three years. I can't imagine being paid for doing something that I enjoy so much! I am partnered with Vanguard Graphics. 

If you know of anyone who may be interested in a web site, from 5 to 100 pages (or more), please feel free to pass on my number and email address. I will create a sample home page on the web, from their material, at no charge. If they like it, I will be happy to develop a proposal to fit their needs.
