Business Scenario – TechPointe

TechPointe Services, LLC is a small firm founded in early 2015 that specializes in technical consulting. With a current headcount under 50, TechPointe is focused on expanding its client base and providing the most efficient services possible, with an eye toward growth in a sustainable fashion. Technologies currently available within the TechPointe portfolio include analytics and reporting solutions (i.e. Excel, Tableau), database development (i.e. Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle, PostgresSQL), data science structures (i.e. Python), and various ancillary skillsets including object-oriented programming and end-to-end user interface solutions as well. TechPointe holds itself in two distinct but related divisions: Operations and Financials. Operations include employment of consultants skilled in different technologies. Some technologies have no current consultants possessing those skills, while others have multiple consultants with the same technological background and different levels of experience and expertise. TechPointe bids for different projects – each project comes from a source (i.e. referral, existing customer, government agency), and may require a mix of technologies. Consultants are assigned to a project based on their technological skills. The Financials Division encompasses compensation for TechPointe employees and expenses incurred as part of a project (a budget), as well as billing of external clients via invoice and payments, which can potentially be made in installments. Each project has its own revenue amount, which includes the billable amount (how much a client pays TechPointe) as well as expenses including consultant pay (varies dependent on level of difficulty) and operational costs such as hardware and software purchases.
