Areas of Special Competencies

Notes:

(1)  Each area identified below is mapped to a discipline / subject area expert(s) who is available to work in or lead an assessment team in the designated category.      

(2)  Beta-Rubicon is broadly networked and has competent and trusted colleagues that are available to work on a secure consulting or sub-contracting basis. This approach substantially expands the areas in which the company can offer technology assessment and technology due diligence services beyond those listed specifically here.                                           _________________________________________________________________
