Column Engineering works with companies whose development efforts are focused around Column’s Core Competencies. These companies can range from technology-based Fortune 100 companies with large, ongoing software, hardware and mechanical development projects, to smaller companies with limited computer engineering skills or experience, and in need of an outside firm for assistance in all phases of their product-development effort.

	Understanding how to use consulting services
	Consultant/team integration
