The Hidden Profit of Supplier Diversity

Posted on

I’ve always been a supporter of equality on all fronts. Working for a woman and minority-owned business, though, has allowed me to dig a bit more into the implicit biases and reasons for companies to have supplier diversity programs. As it turns out, a diversified supply chain leads to greater profit too!\

Click here to read a fantastic article, which highlights all of the great reasons to have a robust supplier diversity program.
Empyrean has been a thriving business since the early 2000’s. We have two operating companies – Empyrean Services (nuclear focused technical consulting and staffing, small business, minority-owned) and The Empyrean Group (technical consulting and staffing, small business, minority and woman-owned).

What differentiates us? Two things: (1) Our bench of experts (executives, engineers, project managers, etc.) number in the thousands, which has turned into an evolving network of former clients, long-standing employees and really… friends, and (2) Our recruiting team is second-to-none. I am amazed how quickly they can fill vital engineering roles or nuclear oversight professionals for our clients!

We are happy to call you part of our network of friends. Please reach out if you would like to learn more or chat about an upcoming project. Thank you!

Design Engineering Work Management Tool

Posted on

It’s been tried before, but hasn’t quite hit the mark. You’ve probably built your own workarounds to make the process more efficient. The suppliers charge too much money and want ongoing maintenance fees.

The industry has struggled with how to best plan for both short-term and long-term with existing tools and systems. Pulling data from other databases (sometimes legacy – aka “very old” – databases) is time-consuming and introduces potential errors.

Empyrean is now offering a service to implement the “Design Engineering Work Management Tool,” which offers two key elements – People and Process. The process includes automating the integration of multiple systems (P6, SAP, Maximo, etc.). The people element, though, is what makes the service a success. We ensure buy-in throughout the organization and build the process around the team’s interests and strengths.

We customize the service to include just what each client needs (budget, time and outcomes). The first step is to schedule a webinar to gather information. We will then (1) ensure this tool will get you what you need, and (2) design a proposal to meet those needs.
