We gain a lot more credibility having an outside expert in our decision-making process.

Steve McDevitt
Chief Executive Officer, Saint Anselm College

There’s this deep appreciation for the fact that we reached out to somebody who is an expert. Now there is this level of trust that is deep and wide. Going forward with an implementation gave us an opportunity to quickly build trust across the campus. Something that would have taken years to do on our own.

Becky Frieden
Senior Director of Enterprise Applications and Decision Support Systems, NYIT

Hearing from Tambellini market research analysts about what’s happening behind the scenes has proven incredibly valuable.

Girish Pashilkar

I have had a really good experience partnering with The Tambellini Group on our assessment of ERP selection and in negotiation of that purchase.

José Rodriguez
CIO, Rhodes College

The resources that Tambellini Group provides are very applicable to the projects and applications we’re using and/or evaluating. The information is excellent—both concise and thorough!

Robin Bryan
Executive Director for IT, James Madison University

Tambellini published a very timely piece on Identity and Access Management, at a point when we were evaluating our options. There have been a number of publications written that play right into what we were doing and are helpful as we build a business case to present to our board, which approves all major technology decisions.

Cindy Mitchell
Former CIO, Colby College

The Top of Mind podcasts are like overhearing a really useful conversation at a higher education tech conference. The points, topics, and speakers are well chosen, and together, they provide a lot of value for the time invested to listen to it.

Stacy Pennington
Director Infrastructure and Enterprise Applications, Rhodes College

Tambellini Group helped set Seneca College on the path toward achieving our bold i3 initiative—Seneca’s commitment to establish streamlined processes and improved services across our student, financial, and human resources systems. Tambellini Group worked shoulder to shoulder with our team to help ensure the best business and technology decisions were made while mitigating financial and business risk.

Roy Hart
former CIO, Seneca College

Having access to the in-depth research reports, webinars, and one-on-one time with the expert analysts from Tambellini Group significantly helped inform our evaluation of ERP solutions. Our Peertelligent membership provided access to resources that were instrumental in supporting our strategic proposals and decisions for where we need to invest.

Deborah Noble Burak
PhD, CPA, PMP, Associate Vice President and CIO, Northampton Community College

If I could change one thing about working with Tambellini Group, I would have brought them in earlier. If Vicki Tambellini had assisted us prior to releasing our RFP, our results might have been even better. Tambellini was part of our team and together we achieved results that impressed our Chancellor and Board Chair. We could not have achieved the same results in our time-frame without their insight and assistance.

Renee Yackira
Special Advisor to the Chancellor, Nevada System of Higher Education

Working with Tambellini Group helped us achieve our goal of balancing significant opportunity with the appropriate level of risk management. Between the avoided costs and lowered fees from our partners, the savings were substantial. Furman’s risk is also lowered and the institution has protections that may not have otherwise been obtained.

Dave Steinour
CIO, Furman University

Access to Peertelligent is wonderful! The information I’ve requested and received has been very helpful. … I just need to know the facts, the strengths and weaknesses, the sweet spots, and the Achilles’ heels of the various products.
