What Fisher Associates does

Fisher Associates, Inc. is a privately held IT consulting firm founded in 2008 by Christopher Fisher and headquartered in Washington, DC, with a secondary office in Baltimore, MD. The firm delivers strategic business intelligence, knowledge management, database administration, and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) development services primarily to U.S. federal government clients, with selective private-sector engagements in healthcare (notably medical billing verification). Its core offerings span custom software development (Java, .Net, SharePoint, cross-platform mobile), ERP implementations using major platforms (Business Objects, Microsoft, Oracle, PeopleSoft), and a Microsoft Dynamics 365 practice featuring proprietary extensions including Dynamics Billing Review (DBR), a federal-sector Custom Relationship Management layer, and an Applicant Tracking System (ATS).

Technically, the firm's Dynamics 365 work integrates Azure Logic Apps (XML, EDI, FTPS protocols), Azure SQL Server, FetchXML-based custom reporting, Excel/Word templates, and the Unified Service Desk — representing a conventional Microsoft-centric enterprise integration stack rather than a proprietary platform. Revenue is generated exclusively through professional services engagements delivered via direct consulting relationships with federal and enterprise clients; pricing is quote-based and project-specific, with no publicly disclosed rate cards, subscription offerings, or product licensing. The firm operates with 11-50 employees under founder ownership with no institutional investors, positioning itself as a compact, trusted-advisor alternative to larger system integrators. Marketing channels are limited to a corporate website (copyright dated 2017) and direct consultant outreach, with no disclosed content marketing, events, or channel partnerships beyond its Microsoft relationship. The only funding event on record is a $10,000 Comcast RISE small-business grant received in November 2021.

Broad incumbents

• Hitachi Solutions: Large global Microsoft Dynamics 365 and ERP implementation partner with deep federal and commercial practice. Comparable because it sells the same Dynamics, ERP, BI, and custom development stack that Fisher Associates' Dynamics 365 Practice is built around, but at much larger scale and across multiple geographies.
• Sikich LLP: US professional services firm with a substantial Microsoft Dynamics 365 ERP/CRM practice alongside broader advisory services. Comparable because it sells Dynamics implementation, ERP, and BI consulting to overlapping mid-market and government-adjacent customers, even though it operates a much wider portfolio.
• Alithya: North American IT consulting firm with a significant Microsoft Dynamics 365 practice delivering strategy, ERP/CRM implementation, BI, and custom development. Comparable across the Dynamics/BI/ERP stack and customer overlap, but operates at significantly greater scale across multiple geographies.

Direct peers

• PowerObjects (an HCL Company): Dynamics 365-focused consultancy historically built around Microsoft Dynamics CRM/AX/ERP implementations and custom solutions. Directly comparable to Fisher's Dynamics 365 Practice, including billing/CRM customization, ATS-style HR modules, and federal-sector engagements, though at significantly larger scale.
• JourneyTEAM: Mid-sized US Microsoft Dynamics 365 / Power Platform consultancy delivering ERP, CRM, BI, and custom development to commercial and public-sector clients. Closely comparable in service mix (Dynamics implementations, BI, ERP, custom .Net/Azure development) and in mid-market federal and enterprise target customers.
• Catapult Systems: Microsoft-focused consulting firm delivering Dynamics 365, Azure, BI, and SharePoint solutions to commercial and government clients. Comparable across nearly every service line Fisher offers - Dynamics implementations, custom .Net development, SharePoint, and BI - with overlap in federal-sector customers.
• Avantiico: Microsoft Dynamics 365 and Power Platform consultancy specializing in CRM, ERP, BI, and custom development for commercial and public-sector clients. Comparable across service mix, Dynamics-first positioning, and customer profile, though Avantiico leans more commercial than federal.
• AKA Enterprise Solutions: Dynamics 365 and Microsoft Cloud partner delivering CRM, ERP, BI, and SharePoint solutions to federal agencies and commercial clients. Comparable in Dynamics-first federal practice, custom application development, and BI focus, with similar mid-market positioning.
• Rand Group: Dynamics 365 / Power Platform consultancy focused on ERP, CRM, BI, and custom .Net development for mid-market and enterprise clients. Directly comparable in service lines and delivery model, though without Fisher's federal-sector specialization.

Regional players

• SBG Technology Solutions: Small, DC-based IT services firm delivering software development, systems integration, and consulting to federal agencies including the Department of State. Comparable in federal IT consulting positioning, DC geography, and small-business contracting profile, even though its primary focus is broader federal IT services rather than Dynamics 365.
