It's my job to find companies that need our help and expertise both from a technology and market point of view.A lot of companies know what they want done, but they don't understand the technology. In addition, large companies that do understand sometimes find themselves in situations where overhead costs and/or internal policy makes some projects intractable. This is where Validus becomes a much better solution.
