System Audit & Third Party Verification
Many companies have IT staff they trust completely while others have some doubts. Either way, having a third party review your systems and procedures can often detect vulnerabilities. These reviews are often done in partnership with your IT staff to create a team with a common goal. (also see Pen-Testing)

Technology Advocate
Companies often invest heavily in a new technology but get bogged down in the implementation and adaptation by its users.

Another reason is the technology lacks an advocate to promote it use and benefits to the general user community. From providing classes to impromptu training, software needs to be used before you can get that return on your investment.
