"Manage expectations and delight the client"

- InPro Solutions credo
An unwavering commitment to customer satisfaction both shapes and distinguishes our consulting practice. We view every engagement from the perspective of what the client needs, and not just what we have to offer. Successfully addressing those needs is achieved through good planning, in-depth analysis and, at each step of the project, making client satisfaction the measure of success. We believe that if the customer is always first, the benefits will naturally follow.

Since founding InPro Solutions in 2000, Principal Consultant James Pickard, P.Eng. has forged strong relationships with many collaborators to successfully complete hundreds of projects and continually grow our list of satisfied clients.
