2. THE KEY VARIABLE IN YOUR PROJECT?
Whether you’re ramping up your business intelligence offering, undertaking a world wide roll-out
of SAP or trying to communicate the advantages of your ERP implementation to a sceptical user
base, the success of your project depends on one key variable: people.
What price do you put on being able to find the perfect person for the position, every time?
At DSR Europe, all of our experience is focused on giving you access to a deep pool of talented,
certified professionals who are motivated to make your project a success.

professional strengths, weaknesses and
their personal preferences.
Put all this knowledge together and you
can trust a DSR consultant to help make
your project a success.
KNOWLEDGE IS KEY
“We had a few issues with finding consultants
who could do the job we needed on our SAP
implementation, never receiving the right profile.
DSR Europe seemed to understand exactly what we
needed and then supplied the right people straight
away. We were very happy.”
[Project Manager, major European pharma
company, June 2008]
3. REAL BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE
Project resourcing is not about finding talented professionals - it’s about matching
exceptional skills to real world business needs.
So, whether SAP is your solution to supply chain issues in FMCG, CRM enhancements in
the telecoms arena or field service efficiencies in the utilities sector, DSR Europe’s team
has the business process knowledge to understand what you need and deliver it, fast.
We combine the deeper benefits of consultancy with the responsiveness of agency.
And, unlike many of our competitors, we thoroughly research the current project
activity of our corporate and consultancy clients - before we make first contact - so
that we understand your specific project need, every time.

[Jon Jones, Business Development Manager]
4. NO-NONSENSE SCREENING
You have a hiring dilemma and 5 of the 6 CVs you receive are poorly
suited to your requirement or just won’t fit in your organisation.
Sound familiar?
Not to us. We never oversell a consultant's competencies and we “It’s refreshing to work with a

[Nigel Lawson, SAP Accounts Manager]
ACM ACTIVE CONSULTANT MANAGEMENT
Finding talented consultants is only 50% of project resourcing. Retaining talent
in a competitive marketplace is often overlooked by agencies who have made a
placement.
At DSR, we don't just place a candidate and then forget them until issues arise.
We support our consultants logistically (helping to book travel, accommodation)
and professionally (talking through career development, organising training)
throughout the course of their contract. We visit each and every consultant, on
site, on a quarterly basis.
When you combine our ACM approach with a thorough selection process, the
result is a guaranteed win for both your company and our consultant.
