IT consulting firm i3Solutions announced last Friday it would be spinning off a software company, Octant in order to specifically handle its Proposal Management software package.  The software from the Sterling, VA-based IT consulting firm is called Enterprise Proposal Management Suite and helps those looking to develop proposals and manage business opportunities.  Octant will of course be using the support of i3Solutions and its channel partners to fully get off the ground.

IT consulting firm i3Solutions specializes in strategic consulting, development of applicaitons, integration of systems and also graphic design and has been in business since 1997.  The company released its original software, Proposal Generator and Proposal Management System in 2003 and decided to create Octant in response to a growing demand for its products within the business community.  

The new software company will help change ideas about what IT consulting can do for customers and how products manufacturers and IT consulting companies can work together to bring total solutions to businesses.  

i3Solutions will work on marketing, development and many other elements of the newly-formed Octant.  The goal, according to the CEO of the new company Scot Johnson, is to build a reputation for being the best provider of enterprise proposal management software.

Because proposal management is necessary for almost all businesses, Johnson states that Octant will be able to get a good foot into the market and further the success of IT consulting services.  The software developed by i3Solutions and Octant is based on the need for quicker communications between customers and businesses.
