General

About TechSquad

What industries does TechSquad serve?

We serve enterprises across healthcare, financial services, hospitality, technology, government, and retail. Our consultants have delivered solutions for Fortune 500 organizations in each of these sectors, with deep domain expertise in the compliance and regulatory requirements specific to each industry.

What does a typical engagement look like?

Every engagement follows our proven three-phase model: Advisory & Assessment (2–4 weeks), Design & Implementation (8–20 weeks), and Managed Support (ongoing). We begin with rigorous discovery and gap analysis, producing a detailed roadmap before any implementation work begins.

Do you offer ongoing support after implementation?

Yes. Our Managed Support phase includes post-go-live monitoring, optimization, knowledge transfer, and operational runbook delivery. We offer flexible support models ranging from advisory retainers to fully managed operations — ensuring your investment delivers long-term value.

Where is TechSquad located?

Our corporate headquarters is in Atlanta, Georgia (USA), and we operate a Global Delivery Center in Vijayawada, India. This dual presence allows us to serve clients across time zones with both onshore and offshore delivery capabilities.

What size companies do you work with?

We primarily serve mid-market and enterprise organizations — typically companies with 500+ employees and complex identity, security, or analytics requirements. That said, we also work with high-growth companies preparing their IAM infrastructure for scale.

What's the difference between TechSquad and a large consultancy?

Large consultancies often rotate junior consultants through projects and optimize for billable hours. TechSquad assigns senior architects to every engagement and measures success by your outcomes — not our hours. We bring 20+ years of hands-on practitioner experience, deep industry expertise in healthcare, hospitality, and financial services, and a commitment to full knowledge transfer so your team can operate independently after go-live.

Do you work with companies outside the US?

Yes. While our headquarters is in Atlanta, GA and our delivery center operates from Vijayawada, India, we serve clients globally. Our dual-shore model enables us to support engagements across time zones with both onshore strategic leadership and offshore delivery capabilities. We have successfully delivered projects for multinational enterprises with operations spanning North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific.
