Elara
§ aboutOur story

We measure success by outcomes, not time spent.

A combination of Microsoft certified trainers, experts, and most valuable professionals, built around one idea.

§01Our story

Elara was founded by Nick Triggs while working on large-scale Microsoft Dynamics 365 and Business Central projects in Japan. His vision centered on prioritizing real-world outcomes when creating IT solutions for companies.

There is a massive gap in the consulting industry. It sits between what your company expects as an outcome, and what a consulting company delivers. Too often, projects run over budget, over time, and don't deliver the result that was expected.

Elara was born out of a necessity to create a consulting company with every component built to be outcome-focused. Our process starts with you. It is defined with you. And it ends with the results you wanted.

We intend to redefine success in consulting and Microsoft implementations. Using the latest technologies, we deliver solutions that not only solve a problem, but innovate, so that we achieve the ultimate objective: to transform your goals into reality, ensuring every project we undertake aims toward your success, not ours.
