The firm's premise is that while technology evolves quickly, the fundamentals of a well-managed implementation have changed little — yet companies keep repeating the same avoidable mistakes. Pemeco was built around a single mission: to deliver every client project successfully, an ethos reflected in its methodologies, recruitment, and people. Leadership and key consultants include Peter Gross (Founder and President), Jonathan Gross (Managing Director), Sanjeev Goel (Principal Consultant), and Jeffrey Stevens (Principal Consultant, Lead Architect & Project Manager).

Pemeco applies a proven, vendor-neutral methodology that begins with clearly defined objectives and ends with execution-ready outcomes — building tailored vendor lists, filtering out poor-fit options, and evaluating finalists against the 8 Dimensions of Vendor Fit. Implementation requirements are scoped early to reduce downstream risk. The methodology is a structured 6-stage process, proven across 800+ selection projects in 40 countries with a 100% success rate: 1. Assessment — Define business goals, process needs, and technical requirements. 2. Vendor Listing — Build a tailored list of high-fit candidates from market research and industry insight. 3. Vendor Prequalification — Eliminate poor-fit vendors early by testing against mission-critical and differentiating requirements. 4. Vendor Due Diligence — Evaluate finalists using the 8 Dimensions of Vendor Fit to identify the strongest technology and service partners. 5. Implementation Scoping — Scope the implementation to minimize risk and improve performance. 6. (Selection through to execution-ready handoff.)
