GDS Associates, Inc.

OUR MISSION IS:

TO HELP OUR CLIENTS SUCCEED

BY ANTICIPATING AND UNDERSTANDING THEIR NEEDS

AND BY EFFICIENTLY DELIVERING QUALITY SERVICES 

WITH CONFIDENCE AND INTEGRITY.

GDS ASSOCIATES, INC. IS A MULTI-SERVICE CONSULTING AND ENGINEERING FIRM formed in 1986 and now employs a staff of over 100 in five locations across the U.S. Our consultants are recognized leaders in their respective fields, dedicated to their clients, innovative in their approach to meeting unique challenges, and known for consistently being available when needed. Our broad range of expertise focuses on clients associated with, or affected by, electric, gas, water and wastewater utilities. In addition, we offer information technology, market research, and statistical services to a diverse client base.

A succinct description of our traditional clients’ business is “capital intensive.” Although typically associated with the substantial funds needed to provide utility services, that characteristic more generally applies to the significant investment in resources that our clients must make to achieve their goals. Selection of the proper resources ultimately determines their success or failure. By providing an extensive supply of dependable resources, GDS Associates, Inc. strives to develop long-term client relationships. Our goal is to be a wise investment in consulting services for our clients.

THERE ARE SEVERAL HALLMARKS OF WISE CONSULTING INVESTMENTS.

FIRST, THEY ARE FOUNDED ON PROVEN PERFORMANCE, not promises of speculative results. GDS Associates’ long history of meeting client needs has established our reputation within the industry. In fact, most of our project assignments are derived from repeat work for existing clients or from client referrals.

SECONDLY, WISE INVESTMENTS REFLECT A DIVERSIFICATION of capabilities. Drawing upon many years of experience in problem-solving for both utility and non-utility clients, we have developed a keen insight into the causes and cures of our clients’ challenges. In addition, the size and depth of our firm permit us to offer clients multiple sources for assistance, ensuring that we will complete the requested services in a competent and timely manner.

FINALLY, WISE INVESTMENTS ARE THOSE THAT MATCH THE correct resources with specific needs. No two clients or problems are exactly alike. GDS Associates strives to deliver “right-fit” solutions for each client’s particular situation.

  • We endeavor to identify, then meet or exceed our clients’ needs.
  • We gauge our overall success in terms of our clients’ success, by promoting a partnership perspective.
