Who we are

Tigris Consulting was created in 1996 to help companies harness the power of information to make better business decisions, resulting in reduced costs and greater efficiencies. Headquartered in New York City, Tigris has approximately 80 employees in Chicago and New York and has grown organically and consistently, with uninterrupted profitability, since inception. 

Tigris approach

Management consultants can understand business problems, and IT consultants can execute technology projects, but there is often a critical gap between the two when these different skill sets are applied to client problems. Tigris bridges this gap, with combined expertise in analyzing business issues and designing and implementing practical solutions using appropriate technology.

Tigris is unique in this way because all its consultants possess dual backgrounds with both business strategy and technical expertise.  This results in client projects that are conducted with better business vision and lead to faster execution and practical solutions.

Tigris has successfully created this important industry niche, and through its data and information-based business solutions, helps its clients achieve measurable bottom-line results. Over the past five years, Tigris has saved its clients more than $2 billion.
