CHICAGO -- BluWater Consulting, a leading IT consulting and staffing firm, today announced the opening of its newest location in Chicago. BluWater delivers technical solutions including IT consulting, project staffing and outsourcing that improve business processes for companies of any size or industry throughout the United States.

The Chicago office is headed by Managing Partner Dave Swartzendruber. Swartzendruber has over

15 years of experience in the technology services field, and expertise in full-cycle service models. Prior to joining BluWater Consulting, Swartzendruber built a startup staffing company in the Seattle area where he employed over 40 contract consultants. His industry experience includes telecommunications, high-tech, aerospace, and health care.

BluWater Consulting has been providing information technology services and solutions to clients in a wide range of industries including telecommunications, software development, health care, banking, insurance, retail, and local and state government. BluWater Consulting's capabilities include security and compliance, infrastructure technologies, business continuity and disaster recovery, project management, process engineering, application development, outsourcing and project staff augmentation.

Process engineering and application development solutions are at the heart of BluWater's core competencies. "We're seeing many companies with their processes in place but rarely do we see these processes exist in documented or policy form," Swartzendruber says.

"Even for private companies, if they're thinking about meeting increasing levels of expectation among customers, investors and possible future acquirers, they need to start re-thinking process improvement initiatives," Swartzendruber said.

"We speak IT and have a firm understanding of the industry, which helps us to easily relate to the needs of our clients," said Scott Davis, chief executive officer of BluWater Consulting. "We are dedicated to providing the highest level of services that are uniquely tailored to the individual needs of each of our clients. We are an agile and responsive organization that truly understands the IT needs of organizations in the 21st century."
