Issue 3 2020 27 Dec19100 Envisioning and Executing Excellence For businesses who have done things a certain way for a long time, it can be hard to inject much- needed vision and creativity from within. That is where consultancy firms come in, delivering freshness and vibrancy in exciting ways that can open up a whole world of opportunity. In this issue of Corporate Vision, we profile Nisum after it was named Global Business & Technology Consulting Firm of the Year 2019 – California. A preferred advisor to leading Fortune 500 companies, Nisum is a global digital commerce firm whose expertise lies in enabling complete business transformation for industry-leading retail brands. Partnering with clients, the firm seeks to both develop and execute a strategic unified commerce approach for each business, using advanced technologies to seamlessly connect B2B and B2C clients with their customers wherever they are, across physical and digital spaces. Business and technology consulting can take a myriad of forms, and the firm offers specialized services such as Insights & Analytics, Technology Enablement, Business Agility, DevOps, and its newest initiative, Nisum Blockchain Lab. Each of these services can be used to deliver the following solutions: Unified Commerce, Business Intelligence, Cloud Services, Scrum Team As A Service, and Digital Transformation. Founded in 2000, Nisum was created to enable transformation for industry-leading brands all over the world. Every team member is resolutely focused on that core mission, and have helped shape the firm into what it is today; the chosen technology and business advisor for some of the world’s leading organizations. Nisum takes a great deal of pride in its workforce, taking notice and rewarding them for continually striving towards higher levels of excellence. Embodying the firm’s five core values, staff hold themselves to the highest standards of Customer Success, Openness, Respect, Excellence, and Play. Every team member, from executive to intern, play a vital role in forming the foundation for Nisum’s success. What continues to stand Nisum apart in its approach and methodology, is that it truly views itself as a partner to a client, rather than a service-provider. Where many consultancies today specialize in either developing a strategic vision for a client’s business or executing on that vision, the team at Nisum does things differently. Instead, the firm maintains it outstandingly comprehensive approach, working with retailers to both determine the right course of action and also execute on that shared corporate vision. This double-edged approach has led to more and more successful client engagements, and is one of many reasons why most of the firm’s clients have continued to work with Nisum for over a decade. Many of those clients that have worked with Nisum over the last twenty years are Fortune 500 companies and top retail brands, but the approach towards reaching strategic business goals and the focus on ensuring excellence remains unshakeable. Every investment into a new technology should be viewed through a business-outcome oriented lens first, and should seek to answer questions such as “What business goal is being achieved through this particular investment?”, and “How is this directly impacting our consumers in a meaningful way?”. Sometimes, large retailers and organizations don’t need the most innovative new technology. Perhaps, simply streamlining a backend process may yield more value, or solve a particular customer pain point. The firm’s solutions do not simply elevate its clients to exceptional new heights of performance; they also fulfil the Nisum promise of Building Success Together ® . 2020 not only represents a fantastic year of opportunity for Nisum, but also sees the firm celebrate twenty years in business. What began with an idea to deliver a new kind of experience in technology consulting has since resulted in deep and meaningful client relationships, and excellent projects. As the business strides into a new decade, there is little doubt that the next twenty years will be just as successful as it continues its evolution from budding start-up to globally-expanding digital commerce firm.
