[Air-l] suggestions for consultants?

[Charles Ess]

Dear AoIR-ists:

this is a bit off the mark of this list - but I'm looking for suggestions
for independent consultants who could help my university in the review of
our help desk, network, email, and PC/Mac support.
The administration has invited Collegis - described as "the largest
independent provider of technology solutions to higher education" - to
review our existing Computer Services organization and infrastructure as
well as the current use of technology on campus.   Collegis will then submit
a proposal for providing these services on an outsourcing basis.
The independent consultant will be asked to review our current technology
operations and the proposal from Collegis.  The consultant would provide
recommendations which could range from investing in our own department to
other corporate providers.

Any suggestions for such folk - including contact information - would be
greatly appreciated.  Thanks in advance,
