The Third Way Operating Model
The fusion of people and platform that gives the company its name.
How it works
- 1Pure service vendors bring people but little technology and bill per head.
- 2Pure software vendors bring technology but demand a level of sophistication most practices do not have.
- 3Third Way fuses both: a world-class platform plus embedded humans who implement it and then stay to run it on the client's behalf.
- 4The customer keeps focusing on care. The operating partner absorbs the operational volatility.
