Awards The VICCS Way: Here at VICCS, "success" is judged in two ways: first, we compare the objective to the results. Did we meet our client's goals? Were we at or under budget? Was the completion date the same as we projected or sooner? The answer to these questions is almost always "yes." The second criteria we use to measure our achievements come from our clients. Oftentimes, one of our employees or consultants receives recognition for being an outstanding teammate on the project. Other times, as a project nears its end, we receive a personal e-mail from the manager, who just wants to let us know that we made working together easy. And sometimes, a PM will give us a call asking for resumes before a general request goes out. For VICCS, this is the true measure of the health of our company. The numbers are important, but just as significant are the responses we get from our customers. We know that the awards our consultants collect as well as those VICCS receives-including several from Congress-are directly related to our 90% client return rate. Choosing VICCS means choosing quality, skill, and dedication. We're not just saying that. Instead, everyone else is:

"I think VICCS is the best vendor around. Your presentation really knocked my socks off, and the follow-up you sent to all of us showed me that you really know what you're doing. The best companies are the ones that never settle for 'good enough'. VICCS always seems to strive to be at the top, and it shows. Keep up the great work."
