CONVERGENT BUSINESS SOLUTIONS MERGES WITH WARREN WHITNEY

Richmond, VA – Through a merger with Convergent Business Solutions (CBS), Warren Whitney has expanded its practice areas to include Technology consulting services.  David Nelms, owner of CBS, will lead the Technology practice.

Since 2009, CBS has provided information technology consulting and contract Chief Information Officer and Chief Operating Officer services for mid-sized organizations.  The firm focuses on higher-level strategy that integrates technology and operations within the business thereby improving operating decision-making and efficiency.

Warren Whitney pioneered the concept of as-needed senior-level leadership.  For more than 26 years the firm has served privately held and nonprofit organizations in the areas of finance and accounting, human resources, and sales and marketing.   Strategic planning, board governance and executive searches are available to clients on a consulting project basis.

According to Scott Warren, co-founder of Warren Whitney, “David has built his technology firm in a model that parallels Warren Whitney’s.  We have collaborated with him on a number of clients that require technology and operations strategy.  Our professionals often work across practice areas informally to address clients’ needs quickly and efficiently.  By joining forces, we will be able to do this for their technology and operations needs as well.”

Larry Gumprich, Chief Financial Officer for Integrated Global Services says, “Warren Whitney and CBS have worked seamlessly as a team for us for the last 7 months on an important revamping of our information systems.  The merger comes as no surprise.”

David Nelms adds, “I am excited for Convergent Business Solutions to be teaming up with Warren Whitney.  Both firms work with mid-sized organizations to help them address critical business challenges.  Our new alignment allows us to address all aspects of an organization’s needs.”
