State Sen. John Albers (R-Alpharetta) recently welcomed Slalom Consulting to testify at the Science and Technology Study Commission.
“Thank you to Slalom Consulting and Craig Marmon for taking the time to talk to our study committee. As a leading company in this highly competitive field, Slalom Consulting can offer a unique insight into how to attract high-tech companies to Atlanta and work with them to grow the industry,” said Albers.
“Georgia is a state in which technology workers thrive, as many of the world’s most innovative and customer-focused corporations have healthy technology centers located here,” said Slalom Consulting Atlanta Managing Director Craig Marmon. “Offshoring has eroded jobs as companies look to reduce overall technology costs. We have the opportunity to move many of these jobs to lower-cost areas of the state. With proper training and education, Georgia workers can compete on par with so-called ‘low cost’ centers abroad.”
Slalom’s Atlanta office offers a broad range of business and technology services, with an emphasis on improving enterprise performance, retaining and growing customers, improving employee productivity, and driving innovation. Including Atlanta, Slalom Consulting has ten offices nationwide and more than 1,100 consultants delivering solutions to companies from global brands to emerging companies.
The State of Georgia’s Science and Technology Strategic Initiative Joint Study Commission was created by Senate Resolution 68 during the 2011 Legislative Session. The members of the commission are tasked with cataloging Georgia’s existing technology assets, reviewing state and national policies that encourage technology advancement, and developing specific recommendations for a strategic plan for science and technology in Georgia. The Georgia Tech Research Institute’s Office of Policy Analysis and Research and the Technology Association of Georgia will assist the commission to fulfill the charge of SR 68.
