Transforming Enterprise IT Services

Mr. Geminiuc created R3P in 2008 as a spin-off of the infrastructure outsourcing advisory North America practice of BearingPoint/KPMG that he led as Managing Director. As such, R3P Consulting has a niche team of the most experienced enterprise IT infrastructure consultants in the Canadian marketplace. Each member of the R3P core team has 15-25 years of complex infrastructure outsourcing agreements largely in Canada, but also USA, Mexico, Caribbean & LATAM.

We help our clients enact transformational change that saves millions of dollars, reduces risk and dramatically increases the efficiency of their operation. From the development of the business case through the implementation of the contract, we are embedded in our client’s business and completely accountable for realizing the benefits we have identified.

R3P is also a thought-leader within the non-profit CORE – Center for Outsourcing Research & Education.  We co-created and co-deliver the Strategy & Scoping, and the Transition Management executive training courses (2 Days Each), on behalf of CORE for executives from Canadian Fortune 50.

Enterprise technology executives ask R3P to lead major initiatives (ex. Data center consolidation, outsourcing renewal, …) already on their radar that provide significant financial savings at acceptable risk to their CFO/COO/Global CIO. The C-level wants all these transformational initiatives to significantly lower the cost of keeping-the-lights-on and move the budget to the more strategic change-the-business initiatives.
