Tenzing Consulting, Alliance Cost Containment, and US China Business Solutions, Inc.

Tenzing Consulting and US China Business Solutions, Inc., which were two of the founding members of BGA, in conjunction with Alliance Cost Containment (ACC) create a powerful combination and range of global sourcing and supply chain capabilities that can benefit BGA clients.  With the recent addition of ACC, BGA can now offer a full range of global sourcing and procurement services, unlike any other growth advisory and investment banking firm which is today serving the middle market. The impact of globalization and the related extensions in supply chains requires many middle market companies to re-think their procurement and supply chain positioning and strategy. This issue of the BGA Newsletter focuses on global sourcing and procurement, which can drive revenue growth for middle market companies.
