VP - Technology Consulting
Brooklyn, NY

In 2007, we will deliver consulting services of $6MM. These services are
being delivered by Product Development staff. We are planning to create
a new group, reporting to the Chief Product Officer, that would focus
exclusively on generating and delivering profitable consulting work in
three categories:
. Engagements that are immediately productizable and on strategy
. Engagements that are productizable in the future and on strategy
. Engagements not productizable, but directly in support of our
existing products (eg, data integration).

Examples of current engagements include: a K-12 reporting system; a data
bridge transferring enrolment data nightly from a large district; and an
iPod-based experimental system to deliver targeted phonics videos to
at-risk students based on assessment data. Currently, we are turning
down or delaying work due to lack of capacity.

The VP, Consulting will lead the creation of a new consulting unit. Some
existing Product staff may transfer to Consulting; others will need to
be hired. This individual will have the opportunity to build a new unit,
define team and process structures, and own a high demand department as
it grows into a new business serving some of the largest and most
influential school districts in the country.
