Since its founding in 2000, MetasysTechnologies, Inc. (MTI), has built a clientele among major corporations for its IT consulting and staffing services. Its ongoing work with The Home Depot alerted Chief Executive Officer Sandeep Gauba to a new opportunity: The Home Depot was looking for cost-saving solutions based on both the quality and the efficiency of its business process. Gauba got together with a longtime friend, a senior executive of Zenzar Technologies, Inc., based in India, and developed a winning proposal. The Home Depot estimates its savings at more than 40%. “This strategic alliance has helped us deliver better business and in better fashion than either of us could on our own,” states Gauba.Michelle Johnson, director of supplier diversity at The Home Depot, calls MTI “a most valuedstrategic supplier.”
