About Lattice Consulting
Lattice Consulting was launched by our Founder, Michael Wagoner, to provide organizations with greater transparency related to their transformation initiatives.
As an alternative professional services provider that is vendor-agnostic, Lattice Consulting focuses on maintaining objectivity throughout the entire transformation process including solution design and implementation.
By seeking first to understand our clients' business opportunities, challenges, and requirements, rather than promoting a specific technology, we can collaboratively develop solutions and alternatives that are tailored to our clients' needs.
As we are not a hardware or software reseller, we strive to maintain a positive, collaborative working relationship with a variety of resourcing and technology partners who can support specific client requirements.
About the name: In physics, a crystal lattice refers to the arrangement and structure of atoms, ions, or molecules in a solid. Lattices exhibit various shapes and symmetries, and the lattice structure can impact interactions with the surrounding environment. For example, the lattice structure can impact the strength or flexibility of the solid, its electromagnetic properties, optical properties, and other characteristics.
At Lattice Consulting, we believe the structure of an enterprise program and the architecture, as well as the transparency with which the initiative is undertaken, can positively impact your organization and drive more successful outcomes.
