“As a consumer products company, TiVo relies on speed and flexibility throughout its supply chain to meet consumer demand. Symphony helped TiVo develop a cost model of the supply chain, isolate opportunities for improving performance, and formulate and execute an outsourcing strategy to optimize that supply chain. The result was a supply chain architecture that reduced our total cost of ownership and more importantly, our inventory exposure while improving our flexibility and speed in product delivery. Their expertise in outsourcing and contract negotiations allowed us to create contracts that significantly reduce our inventory liability and enhance supply flexibility.” – Karen Hensey, Director of Manufacturing Operations, TiVo
“Symphony worked with our management team to define our sourcing strategy, develop an action plan, and execute it to completion. The outsourcing contracts they negotiated drastically reduced our risk in a dynamic environment.” – Jeff Jarvis, Former Chief Operating Officer, Com21, Inc.
“Every time we have engaged Symphony on a project, we have been delighted with the results.” – Jay Anderson, Vice President of Operations, Pinnacle Systems
“The process of outsourcing would have been nearly impossible for us to complete without Symphony’s assistance. As we bring the project to a close, we will be meeting or exceeding all of our original operational and financial targets. They proved to be an invaluable partner in this process, bringing the necessary technical and business background plus the negotiation and interpersonal skills to work closely with our team and close on all of the major points of the agreement with our chosen EMS partner. Without a doubt I will recommend Symphony Consulting to anyone considering this type of project.” – Jose Sendra, VP of Operations, Equitrac Corporation
“Symphony demonstrated to TCV that they are experts in the area of supply chain management, can react quickly, and can supplement our due diligence process to enable us to make the best investment decisions.

“In an outsourcing project that Symphony managed for us, all of the contending contract manufacturers told us they had never been through such a complete and thorough evaluation.” – Hanan Cohen, Senior Director of Supply Chain, Pinnacle Systems
