More than just quality services

Last week, I was having lunch with a long standing client, who had recently been to our 30^th Anniversary celebration evening in London. He remarked how amazing it was that we should continue to thrive as an independent consultancy after so many years and that there should be so many clients and staff, current and ex, who remain part of our network and wish to be associated with OCS.

I reminded him, that though he has been a client for nearly 10 years, we had met some years before when he came for an interview at OCS as we were recruiting for a Senior Programme Manager to head up a Chip & Pin accreditation project we were running for a major retailer.  He didn’t get the job… but some years later came to us to provide flexible Web Development and Infrastructure Support Services for his organisation, a large US internet subscription company which we have been delivering to ever since.  I asked him what was it that reminded him of us, so much so, that he came to OCS for IT services.  Now there’s a question?

His answer was what I wanted to hear and perhaps the reason why after 30 years OCS remains a thriving independent business. He liked us. He liked our ethics and values and the way we communicated and dealt with him then as a prospective staff member and since then as a client.

We deliver, are loyal, trustworthy, have integrity and above all else committed to making sure that as an OCS client he feels that we go the extra mile to provide the most flexible and quality service that we can. 

Of course, if it was just his view then I’m not sure I would headline with it in this issue, but having received recently dozens of congratulation messages and testimonials (some of which can be found on www.ocs-consulting.eu) from clients and staff alike in response to our 30^th anniversary, I can only  think, there must be something in what he says 🙂

30 years ago Neil Lawrence, founded OCS, after spotting the opportunity to deliver high quality, flexible services in the areas of lifecycle skills, technology and solutions with an ethos of honesty, integrity, friendliness and professionalism. These characteristics have been renewed, updated and re-confirmed again and again over the years.  Today they are strong as they ever were, seems like in a changing world this remains a strong and attractive proposition.

If you should like to experience OCS and would like to know how we may be able to assist with your future IT needs, then do please contact us and we will be delighted to help.

All the best
