DOTConsultants LTD. Team page

As a pioneering company our team structure may surprise you. As well as permanent administrative and technical staff, we also have a virtual workforce spread across many countries. Our consultants mostly gave up working as normal technical employees years ago in favour of working via DOT Consultants LTD. as independent consultants. This gives them the financial freedom they deserve and our clients the benefit of their technical experience. Major technology companies find that our lack of fixed structure, combined with our globally available workforce, allows us to react to their market technical needs faster than they could themselves. All our team members have one thing in common, they are expert in what they do. On this page you will find some team profiles. Feel free to email them with technical questions on their expert area, if you really want to test their knowledge.
