        Netvantage’s success in what some    Henige
        may consider a volatile market is  the
        longevity of their small team of five. Collectively, each of
        them has been with the firm for over 10 years, and it’s
        their long history with the company that ensures the
        work they put out for their clients is only the best.

        “When you think of small boutique consulting firms that
        would be us,” said Ford. “We know what we’re doing in
        our area and aren’t afraid to partner with other agencies
        to get the job done. We’ve been pretty fortunate that our
        client roster is so diverse whether they be big or small.”
                                                                  YOUR BUSINESS MATTERS.
