9sight Consulting

Founded at the beginning of 2008 by Barry Devlin, 9sight Consulting is dedicated to moving Business beyond mere Intelligence towards real Insight. At its current phase of evolution, IT allows us to envisage a single, seamless flow within and between business tasks. Furthermore, modern business demands it. Combining technological acumen from informational, operational and collaborative fields is key to this evolution. However, IT alone will not suffice. Added emphasis on human, organizational and management growth is required. 9sight Consulting provides the cross-disciplinary view needed to make the leap to Business Insight.
