TPI Opens Detroit Center to Provide Strategic Client Services
- Detroit-area center expands in support of TPI’s Value Creation Plan
HOUSTON, May 22, 2008 – TPI, the largest sourcing data and advisory firm in the world and a unit of Information Services Group Inc. (ISG) (NASDAQ:III), a leader in the information-based services industry, announced the opening of its new Strategic Client Services Center in the Detroit-metro area. The center will provide leveraged financial, analytical and governance services to clients globally.
The TPI Value Creation Plan (VCP) is focused on driving new revenue streams and the addition of this new strategic client services center will support these efforts. Detroit was chosen for its central U.S. location, Eastern time zone, TPI’s well-established base of advisors in the area and the high-caliber talent pool available from top business schools such as the University of Michigan and Michigan State University.
“The Detroit area offers many benefits for opening our strategic client services center and when we began looking to hire new talent, we found an enthusiastic, highly-educated workforce in the area,” said Michelle Volk, director of the Strategic Client Services Center, TPI. “Combined with the critical mass of seasoned TPI advisors already based here and its central location, Detroit became the ideal location to expand TPI’s operations to best serve our clients.”
“Our new Detroit facility will allow us to provide more cost-effective services to our clients by leveraging our highly skilled Analytical team across multiple engagements. In addition, it provides us with a domestic location from which to provide dedicated support for our clients’ Governance Services activities,” said Scott Gildner, partner and president, North America, TPI. “Initial demand has exceeded our expectations for the Detroit Strategic Client Services Center, and we plan to double the original planned number of the center’s employees by the end of the year.”
