Technology Powering Purpose

At slashBlue, we believe purpose precedes technology. We first help clients get in touch with their purpose, then apply the right technology to help them live it out. As an IT services provider we’ve helped transform and grow engineering firms across the Twin Cities and beyond by providing expert performance consulting, IT design and support services. Sure, we do organizational performance, technology consulting and support. But, that is just a means to an end. Purpose pushes technology. It’s the real mother of invention. Necessity would never have felt the need to get off the ground nonetheless lay the coolest set of tire tracks ever on Mars. Purpose’s unrelenting desire to understand the universe put that rover there, and it’s the force that moves humanity forward. We believe in purpose. We know tapping into it is how real progress is made. If we sound more like XPRIZE than an IT services firm, that’s not by mistake. We’re catalysts too, called to advance the world one client at a time. Our way is to put purpose first and let technology follow. For us, technology is never the solution, it’s simply the tool—a supercool tool at that—but still just a tool.

Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

slashBlue completed a comprehenisve assessment of the International branch of our orgaization. This included a cybersecurity maturity assessment utilizing the CIS Framework. Based on the results of the assessment, the team developed a comprehensive roadmap for addressing the technical debt that our organization had accrued and maturing our overall cybersecurity posture. The roadmap included risk based stratification of the priorities and budgetary figures necessary for the organization to plan for and adopt the roadmap.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

Outcome on this project was binary, deliver the roadmap in a specific timeframe.

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

The team at slashBlue did an amazing job! They kept the project moving, set the necessary meeetings and made sure the correct stakeholders were involved in each meeting. Many of the meetings were discovery of our systems and processes. They always came to the table with well defined questions that made it clear that the conversation was just not wandering in the dark. At the same time, they had appropriate open ended questions that allowed them to discover things about our organization and operations that I would probably not have thought to share outright with them, but were relevant to the overall project.

The roadmap was delivered ahead of deadline with meetings to specifically ensure that my team fully understood the content. As we continued to ingest all of the information they readily answered followup questions via email. At the 50% point of the project I had the opportunity to apply for a grant to fund one of the recommended priorities. The slashBlue team created a Mid-Term report to provide the necessary docmentation to support our grant application.

What was your primary form of communication with slashBlue?

Virtual Meeting
Email or Messaging App

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

Amazing people that cared and connected with our misison, vision and values. I never walked away from a meeting feeling like they had not heard and understood my challenges and needs.

Are there any areas for improvement or something slashBlue could have done differently?

I can honestly say that the team at slashBlue exceeded my expectations in all aspects of this engagement. I can rarely say that about a vendor.
