About Us
Built upon our passion, integrity, and commitment to our clients.
Anthony Thomas Consulting specializes in ERP and CRM implementations, customizations, training and support. Our consultants have worked together for years and have successfully implemented many systems of all sizes.
Our consultants come from very diverse backgrounds which gives us the ability to see your business process flows from many different angles. We work very hard to learn and understand your business in order for us to determine which software is the right fit for your company. Our motto, "We build software to fit your business instead of fitting your business into the software", is really at the heart of ATC. Software is rapidly changing and improving in today’s high-tech environment. We can help your business stay in front of these technology changes and to gain a competitive advantage in your industry.
Most of all, our consultants thoroughly enjoy what we do. We enjoy bringing an idea to life and seeing our clients’ excitement when new processes are introduced to help with their workload.
Our Approach
It's simple…find the best solution for the client at the lowest possible cost.
From Day 1, we work with our clients to determine the best approach to take. Every business is different, and we understand that every software implementation will be as well. With our vast field experience, we are able to take examples of proven solutions and modify them to meet the client’s needs.
We try to provide multiple solutions for every challenge and put a huge emphasis on working as a team with our clients. Whether the solution is a simple plug in, or a highly customized option we strive to have the clients buy-in for every approach taken.
Our project management ensures clear and consistent communication between our clients and consultants. Clients are given access to their projects via our Project Management Portal that allows them to submit new request, upload files, send messages and edit due dates or update priorities.
We genuinely care about the success of our clients, and finding them the best solutions to fit their business needs now, and in the future.

Our Values
Built from years of experience.
Our values at Anthony Thomas have been developed based on years of experience. Through our successes, we have developed values that we know work. We have also learned the values that do not work, and can cause negative effects to a project.
We have worked hard to build our business around the following core values:
Long-term relationship: We look for clients that want to establish a long-term relationship with a trusted consulting company. We understand that the better we succeed on a project, the better your business will succeed, and the chances of continuing business together increases. We like to put ourselves in your shoes during an implementation. We have a much better chance of success the more connected and committed we are to your business.
Proper Planning: Improper Planning is the #1 reason an ERP/CRM implementation will fail. What makes matters worse, is that the failure does not happen until later on in the implementation process. Without adequate planning, it is not a matter of if, instead it is a matter of when will the implementation fail. This is the reason we made Proper Planning one of our core values at Anthony Thomas Consulting.
Project Management: Just as improper planning can cause a project to fail, inadequate or a complete absence of project management will doom any project as well. Project Management can be the most overlooked function of a project, but we make it one of our core values because we feel so strongly about it.
Train the Trainer: Training is an extremely important part of any implementation. No matter how well-thought out and executed, an implementation cause fail if the end users are not properly trained. We feel training is such an instrumental part of our values, that we included our training approach as one of our core values.
Passing on Knowledge: This is an extension of our training core value, but it is important enough to stand on its own. We value the power of knowledge very highly.
Technology is constantly changing and constantly improving. It’s very easy to quickly fall behind the curve if you become too complacent with your systems. We actively learn new software and test new product versions thoroughly before discussing them with you. We try to analyze the software from our clients’ perspective and if any improvements to the current processes could be made.
