Allied Consultants

What Allied Consultants does

Allied Consultants, Inc. is a privately held IT consulting firm founded in 1991 and headquartered at 1304 West Avenue, Austin, Texas. The company provides three primary service lines: IT staffing services delivered on a time-and-materials basis, deliverables-based project services on a fixed-price basis (with a claimed track record of 100% on-time, within-budget engagements), and technology services spanning ERP implementation (AMS, J.D. Edwards, Oracle, PeopleSoft), business intelligence (Business Objects, Cognos, MicroStrategies), e-Business solutions, legacy system modernization, and data management. A specialized CAPPS PeopleSoft practice targets Texas state agencies on the Centralized Accounting and Payroll/Personnel System.

The company's customer base is split between Texas state and local government agencies and Fortune 500 commercial enterprises. Government work flows almost entirely through Texas Department of Information Resources (DIR) cooperative contract vehicles — ITSAC contract DIR-CPO-5447 for staff augmentation and DBITS contract DIR-CPO-5879 for deliverables-based IT services — which provide pre-negotiated procurement access to state agencies (Texas Comptroller, TxDOT, HHSC, TEA, DIR, DPS), local governments (City of Austin, City of Houston, Dallas/Fort Worth Airport), and education customers (Austin ISD). Commercial clients historically include Dell, IBM, Accenture, Deloitte, EDS, 3M, Applied Materials, Austin Energy, ERCOT, Northrop Grumman, and Whole Foods Market.

Allied operates a lean direct-employee base of 51–100 staff, augmented by an extended network of subcontractors and teaming partners that the company describes as 'hundreds of business and technology specialists' based in Austin. Revenue is generated through professional services fees under master staffing contracts, fixed-price deliverables-based contracts, and direct agency agreements, with pricing not publicly disclosed. The company is founder/owner-led under CEO David Olander and President Daniel Krause, with no disclosed external investors, parent company, or M&A activity.
