The implementation
of several mainframe-based applications (with FMC Corp. and with a company now
part of Siemens AG) provided the background that ultimately led to the
formation of McKinney Consulting, Inc. Installing
those systems provided the opportunity to look at the way a company does
what it does. Helping clients install
systems and navigate the landscape of change while aligning resources with
goals led to application design and development projects. Seeing the opportunity to develop programs
for the desktop and network platforms, McKinney Consulting began developing
systems that help clients achieve the highest-levels of organizational
performance, earning the company a record of successes.
McKinney Consulting
Inc.’s work with Intermodal Marketing Companies (IMCs) stretches back to 1986
when they developed the system that grew into the current ADVANTAGE: product
line. Their clients were called
“Shipper’s Agents” back in 1986 and since then McKinney Consulting has grown to
work with some of the most effective, efficient and profitable IMCs and
Over-the-Road Freight Brokers today.
Their systems have evolved from DOS to Windows to SQL and Web-based
systems that offer reliable, high performance, technologically advanced tools
that provide valuable solutions to client business needs.
