Portfolio Consulting was born in 2015 as a means to provide freelance consulting services to IT services businesses and direct to clients in an era where some of the major providers are too big and/or too set in their ways to be nimble enough to respond to advances in technology and changes in how clients want to interact with them. Many of the smaller providers often have great technical skill, but struggle to validate and articulate the business outcome of a technology investment.Portfolio Consulting was created to provide business outcome focused IT Consulting & Advisory services to the Adelaide market.
