WHAT IS UNIQUE ABOUT OSS? Our Organization - proven as a Team We are proud of our distributed organization, composed of OSS employees and a network of closely affiliated organizations with whom we work on a situational basis.   OSS and its affiliated organizations are primarily led and staffed by key people who have shared long-term, direct working relationships spanning multiple decades and corporate structures.    As a group our team has successfully performed virtually every project, line and executive management role in both product vendor and major end-user IT organizations.   Our Business Approach - SET then Achieve Expectations Our preferred business approach is to first work with our clients so that we all thoroughly understand the business needs, objectives and expectations, the proposed plan to achieve these and associated commercial parameters and constraints.   Then we do the work.   We believe that the most critical factors in a successful project consistently are a combination of how well all of the stakeholders understand and agree on the risks and objectives, coupled with a properly conceived and executed plan.   Consequently we strive to start a project with an independent discovery / planning phase, collaborating with the customer to crystallize and communicate objectives and to set expectations for subsequent decision and execution steps.    Then we deliver results based on the expectations.   Our People - known for their Results Professionals with repeatedly proven leadership and technology skills lead OSS and its close affiliates.   Our accumulated experience is a combination of innovative development and market introduction of major first-mover products coupled with the extension and integration / implementation of these to provide business-critical operational systems used worldwide by leaders in multiple industries.   Our blend of Technology - tools for results Our experience has spanned virtually every generation of computing technology, some which we still support in various legacy customers.   Our approach to use of technology has always been to choose current, mainstream tools and products that can best meet the business lifecycle needs of a product or project.   However, due to the "cutting edge" nature of the products and solutions we work on, we also are highly experienced at becoming involved early in the adoption cycle of emerging trends and applying these, when advantageous for the business solution's needs.     We excel in the application of appropriate technology, used as tools, to solve leading edge customer problems.
