We at Entelligence have been blessed with a great team of people who love what they do and elate our clients and customers, both internally and externally. In an industry where more than half of the people are looking for greener pastures at any given time, we are surrounded by team members who want to be here and show it every day by doing amazing work.

We decided that we would shine the spotlight on some of our team and learn a bit about them and why they love being a part of our mission to delight our clients.

Today, we’re talking with Justin Parmalee, long term consultant, with Hitachi Data Systems.

Justin, you have obviously been successful in this role. What are the contributing factors, in your opinion, to great customer scores?
That’s easy. It’s my personality and how I work and interact with the clients. Though I am technically proficient in what I do, my most important asset and what I bring to the table is talking with clients and helping them understand the WHAT and WHY-What we are doing, why we are doing it, and how it’s going to benefit them. It’s also my job to give the client a sense that that this all will be done on time and to their specification.

In a nutshell: I make sure they’re happy.

How has Entelligence contributed to your success?
Here’s what they do well: they totally understand what I as a consultant need in my day to day role. I don’t need one more manager managing or micromanaging what I do. What I DO need is support from a team of people and assistance when I put something out there.

Entelligence has been able to give that to me. They’ve been very insightful about it all.
