GroupSense Network

GroupSense works closely with a network of associated companies and individuals. This enables GroupSense to provide our customers with access to a range of specialised services without the overhead and risk of establishing and managing new relationships.

Bringing in specialised skills on a project-by-project basis enables GroupSense to choose the right person for each job. As we have no fixed staff costs in non-core areas, we have no incentive to place people on projects other than to solve our customers' problems in the most efficient and effective way.

The skills available in the GroupSense network include web design, website hosting, software development, information technology, knowledge management and PR/communications consulting.
