Consulting: What were the main factors that contributed to your firm’s growth? Archambault: Our growth is directly related to our outstanding leadership and staff. Our consultants are dedicated to delivering quality services to our clients, and our reputation for successful implementations correlates with their achievements.

Consulting: How is this year shaping up for your firm? Archambault: The first half of the year was slow for our firm due to the general caution of healthcare organizations in the current political climate. The second half of the year is shaping up to be successful, with many opportunities available in various sectors of the healthcare industry.

Consulting: Where do you see the most opportunities?

Archambault: Our data analytics
practice is continuing to grow, and
we are also seeing an increase in
opportunities within the pharmaceu-
tical industry and at the intersection
of providers and health plans.

Consulting: What would you say are your firm’s biggest challenges in 2018? Archambault: Our greatest challenges in 2018 will be client acquisition and continuing to provide our existing clients with dynamic solutions for their business and technology needs.

Archambault: The Fastest Growing Firms designation is a testament to our dedication and excellence within healthcare. We are honored to be recognized by Consulting and look forward to future opportunities with the publication.
