Ah, the life of a consultant: traveling the globe all year long; advising CIOs on the pressing issues of the day; demonstrating the value of IT to management; examining budgets one more time to extract the last nickel of savings; implementing the latest release and add-on module from the enterprise resource planning (ERP) and customer relationship management (CRM) vendors; architecting middleware that can finally integrate all the company's applications; modeling processes to demonstrate compliance with the US Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX).
