Blimey did they get involved with that!

they inherited the department from Andersen after the enron fallout. It was very profitable due to the mixed nature of the work we could perform so they decided to keep it open ... also we had some awesome clients which D&T had been after for a while.

Well you learn something everyday I wouldn't have thought that stuff interested some of the big firms but hey what do I know

Gangsta Smurf

there are a lot of niche departments within the big firms which people (including some of the people that work in these companies) don't know exist. Its all about billable hours at the end of the day and niche consultancy can sometimes be very time consuming due to the complexities of one business compared to another. in order for a company to grow in today's business environment it must diversify it's product portfolio, the big firms know this and therefore embrace smaller but highly lucrative departments such as BPO.

Fair Play

As I have probably said I have been out of practice for 20 years now so things do change
