Technology Consultants
Canfield Heads Tech Unit
FOLLOWING the lead of companies like accounting firm B.D.O Seidman L.L.P. and law firm Holland & Hart, Hildebrandt International has jettisoned its technology unit into a new division of the company. Hildebrandt TechGroup will be lead by Curt Canfield and will offer technology planning and reengineering, from system design and selection, to implementation and training. Canfield says his group will operate on a different business plan than the parent organization, and will offer expertise in financial, technical and "change management" issues of information technology.
The new entity also will differ from Hildebrandt's past tech practice in that it will partner with technology service providers. They include iEnvision Technology Inc., eSentio Technologies, FirmLogic L.P., PerfectAccessSpeer, and INRANGE Technologies Corp.
LTN Editorial Advisory Board member Sally Gonzalez and Stanley Waslyyk of Washington, D.C.; and Beth White Kellermann of San Francisco, will join Canfield on the team.
