  I made the decision to transition to independent consulting based on the belief that well-built software is good business. I believe that everyone wins when the software works. Like all strong relationships, at the core of a strong consulting relationship is trust. The consultant trusts that the client knows their business, and the client trusts that the consultant knows software. If that trust can be established, the rest will follow.
