It’s not the big that eat the small; it’s the fast that eat the slow. Partnering with a small shop or freelancer can give your organization the flexibility and speed it needs to succeed, however it can be difficult to find skilled, dependable contractors. In this session, Steve Kessler of Denver DataMan gives away all their best secrets about how to cultivate and nourish fruitful relationships with small shops and freelancers from both a client and vendor perspective.

You will want to come to this session if you are looking to work with a small shop or freelancer or you are a small shop or a freelancer and want to here what we are telling clients to look for. We will focus this in a little more than we did when we first presented in Colorado.

  • What should the analysis, design, and development processes look like?
  • How can I be the best client ever?
