Our Approach

Clients

How our clients choose to partner with Marathon can vary based on many factors, including size, need, and budget. Marathon is proud of the work we do with all of our clients, from the smaller family-owned businesses to Fortune 500 companies. With each project, our flexibility is fundamental in building a trusting, collaborative relationship with our clients. No matter the size of your organization or your IT budget, Marathon can comfortably adapt our approach to the needs of your business to give your project the best value and return on investment. Marathon's team of consultants offer deep understanding and expert knowledge within a variety of industries, including experience working with large corporations and local governments. With the strength of our team, and our successful project management methodology, we facilitate solid results on time and on budget for every project.

Delivery

Meeting client expectations is our true focus, and Marathon can deliver to those needs either on a staff augmentation or a managed project basis. There are solution providers who do one or the other, but there are none who do both to the level of expertise as Marathon. Whether you are looking for resources to supplement your technical staff for a period of time, or you are looking to completely outsource your IT project to us, Marathon has the skill and know-how to ensure the success of every engagement.

Marathon Project Methodology (MPM)

When a client engages with Marathon on a managed project basis, whether it be a custom application, a data warehousing and reporting project, an IT assessment or new website, they are investing in a technology partner and solution that will provide a key business need for their organization. Marathon appreciates the magnitude of these types of projects and their criticality to the client, and has developed a project management approach that ensures their success. With Marathon, we understand that this process starts during the sales cycle, where expectations are laid out. It continues throughout the entire project life cycle, but doesn’t end with the successful delivery of the solution; it continues on beyond that, after the solution has been deployed. Our methodology, based on industry best practices, has been molded by Marathon to match our focus on meeting our clients’ needs, and is based on our commitment to quality, accountability, client involvement, and ongoing communication. The net result is that no project undertaken using our MPM has ever failed.
