Solution Offerings
Project Management
Hitachi Consulting understands that effective leadership and management is cornerstone to a successful project. Our ability to scope projects, tasks, and resource commitments is what enables us to deliver measurable, continuous value. Our project managers are guided by Hitachi Consulting's approved Project Management Methodology, a licensed derivative of the Project Management Institute's Project Management Body of Knowledge.

Change Management Services
Hitachi Consulting's organizational design solutions focus on fast-track projects, including design, development, and migration plans. These can be for either entire organizations or specific pieces of your company. We have deep experience in the HR and communication mechanics of enacting required changes.

We have successfully helped Fortune 100 companies completely redesign corporate and business unit operating models, build and deconstruct shared-services units, and redesign specific functions such as IT, finance, HR, and supply chain.

Implementation Services
Our consultants have extensive experience in Lawson's suite of products including Financials, Supply Chain, Human Capital Management, and Enterprise Performance Management. Hitachi Consulting can help you build upon the infrastructure you already have instead of rebuilding from ground zero. We help companies drive successful change management and process improvement in every project, and we pride ourselves in transferring our extensive knowledge to our clients. Whether national or global, Hitachi Consulting can support your needs in Building the Market Responsive Company®.

Operational Business Intelligence (OBI) Services
Hitachi Consulting enables Operational Business Intelligence for organizations by using the strengths of Lawson Process Flow with Lawson Business Intelligence (LBI) to manage and optimize daily business processes.
