Why Consulting Firms Struggle to Modernize

5 Digital Transformation Challenges Unique to the Business Consulting Industry explains how shifting client expectations, pricing pressure, growing project complexity, workforce changes, and escalating security risks have reshaped the consulting landscape. As the eBook describes, clients now demand real time visibility, faster turnaround, transparent pricing, and modern digital experiences, yet many firms still rely on manual processes, scattered content, and outdated tools. These inefficiencies slow delivery, reduce margins, and place consulting firms at a competitive disadvantage.

How Information Management Solves These Challenges

The eBook highlights how intelligent information management gives consulting firms a unified way to manage project documents, automate workflows, secure client data, and deliver a modern, efficient client experience. Metadata and AI eliminate version confusion and accelerate search, while automated workflows streamline proposals, contracts, and project delivery. Secure portals support collaboration without exposing sensitive data, and dynamic permissions adjust automatically as roles change. With centralized, connected information, consultants spend less time searching and more time delivering value.
