Strategic Partners

TAC International is the mentoring, coaching and career matchmaking partner of TAC. Whereas TAC specializes in IT advisory services, TAC International aspires to be the trusted career advisor to senior IT executives worldwide in helping them succeed in their chosen profession.

TAC International operates in four regions (USA, Canada, UK and India) and employs local world-class practitioner coaches (or recently retired practitioners) who themselves have been global CIOs of Fortune 500 companies. These elite coaches provide insights and wisdom that can only come from a lifetime of work at the business end of the IT profession (i.e. not as consultants or analysts). The coaching ranges from “soft” topics like office politics and workload, all the way to “hard” issues of a specialized technical nature.

ICS combines cutting-edge technology, Fortune 500 CIO expertise, and dedicated cyber security staff to create Lifeline for Business™, a front-to-back cyber security solution specifically tailored to the exact needs of each client. Lifeline for Business™ addresses all cyber security needs from initial analysis to monitoring to response and remediation. ICS clients benefit from the knowledge of 350 expert practitioners, yet annual fees are typically around the cost of one full time employee.
