Partners
We do business in highly competitive markets. One of the primary reasons for our continued success is our decision to work with best-of-breed partners and to incorporate partnering into our operational strategy.
Flexible Partnership Arrangements
Our strategy is to ensure that we have strong and flexible partnership arrangements whereby the best of breed partner supplier is integrated into one overall solution. These partners within our products and services have included companies which encompass most of the leading global consulting firms and many of the leading technology or business process outsourcing companies. As part of our strategy we rarely commit to exclusivity with any one partner; in order to retain our ability to select the most appropriate partner for each client's needs.
Our aim is to combine our skills to deliver a solution that support our clients' ambitions. We evaluate potential partners on the basis of:
- The complementary skills and capabilities they bring to the partnership
- The value they can add to our clients
- Their track record for delivery
- Compliance with relevant legal obligations and evidence of best practise
- Their cultural fit with Echo and our approach to Corporate Social Responsibility
