Kurt Salmon Awarded Top Vendor Selection Honor for Second Time

ATLANTA, July 12, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Management consulting firm Kurt Salmon was named the top IT vendor selection firm in KLAS Enterprises' 2011 Mid-Term Performance Review. KLAS, an independent research agency, also chose Kurt Salmon as the leading vendor selection firm in 2010.

In a press release, KLAS called Kurt Salmon the "clear leader in selection services." The 2011 report included evaluations of 182 professional services by almost 19,000 providers. Kurt Salmon clients praised the firm for being "unbiased and aggressive, with polished consultants."

"... Specific differentiators—costs, tools and methodology, the actual deliverable, and the knowledge and quality of an advisory firm's talent pool—are ultimately the benefits providers look for when contracting with an IT advisory services firm," said Lorin Bird, KLAS research director and author of the report. "Providers' ability to match their needs to the firm's capabilities is one of the most critical factors to a successful IT advisory services engagement."

In their ratings, Kurt Salmon clients said the firm's industry knowledge and experience helped deliver quality results. Clients applauded Kurt Salmon's "great insight into the industry," integrity and thoroughness.

"We're proud to once again be chosen as the best vendor selection firm in the business," said Elaine Remmlinger, a Kurt Salmon senior partner who leads its Health Care IT practice. "We see this award as continuing acknowledgement of our deep industry expertise and strength as trusted advisors to our clients. We have no vendor or product affiliations, which enables us to remain objective and independent and always put clients' interests first."
