IDI Consulting
Delivering Practical IT Solutions for Long-Term Success

Since its founding in 1995, IDI Consulting has distinguished itself as a leader in providing adaptable, resourceful, and real-world solutions for businesses facing complex IT challenges. Headquartered in Pittsburgh, PA, with offices in New York, NY, and Houston, TX, the company’s mission is clear: to solve business problems by leveraging information technology in ways that enhance operational efficiency and align with clients' long-term goals.

At the helm of IDI Consulting are Managing Partners William Thomas and Barry Lynch, whose leadership emphasizes the company’s philosophy of balancing innovation with practicality.

“When companies approach IDI Consulting to improve their business processes, they need information technology solutions that deliver efficient results,” says Thomas. This guiding principle shapes the work of the firm’s experts, who consider themselves "business people first, technologists second." Their business-centric approach enables IDI Consulting to deliver solutions that address client needs not only from a technological standpoint but also from an operational and financial perspective.

IDI Consulting offers a comprehensive suite of services, including IT consulting, project management, business process re-engineering, major ERP installation, custom application development, programming, as well as application, systems, database, and software analysis and design. These services are not one-size-fits-all—they are customized to each client’s unique challenges. The consultants take the time to thoroughly understand the client’s needs before offering solutions, ensuring that outcomes are both technologically sound and aligned with the client’s larger business strategy.

The company’s core strength lies in its collaborative culture. Specialized experts work together to exceed client expectations, whether through application integrations, code-based solutions, or comprehensive IT strategies. For IDI Consulting, the goal is to form long-term relationships with clients, offering continuous support that extends beyond a project's lifecycle. The company doesn’t just deliver a one-time solution; it commits to being a trusted partner as clients evolve, providing ongoing guidance and expertise as their needs grow.

One notable example of IDI Consulting's approach is its work with a major utility client that had recently been acquired by another entity. IDI Consulting applied its deep expertise as an SAP partner to design and execute a 43-steps business plan. This comprehensive approach included building a business application infrastructure, establishing an IT backbone, implementing cybersecurity measures, constructing a data network, and creating a call center. The project was completed on time and under budget, showcasing the company’s ability to deliver efficient, scalable solutions that align with business goals.

IDI Consulting’s success stems from its ability to balance technology with business needs. By aligning goals and objectives with the company’s mission and model, IDI Consulting ensures that the final vision, resource requirements, risks, and operational services are effectively managed. This philosophy helps clients achieve their strategic goals while optimizing resources, technology, and personnel. Whether a company is looking to overhaul its IT infrastructure, optimize business processes, or improve operational efficiencies, IDI Consulting provides tailor-made solutions to fit specific requirements.

As IDI Consulting continues to grow and evolve, its dedication to client success remains unwavering. The company’s experts are problem-solvers at heart, committed to analyzing technological challenges and delivering hands-on solutions that work. From strategy development to implementation, IDI Consulting partners with businesses to help them achieve their short-term and long-term IT objectives, ensuring that solutions are practical, scalable, and sustainable. For companies seeking a partner to navigate the ever-changing IT landscape, IDI Consulting offers the expertise, experience, and commitment to success that today’s business leaders need.
