Edward F. Drohan, President

Business Development Services of New York was founded in 1988 to address the technology procurement and service support requirements of large organizations. Since our inception, the primary focus of BDS has been in the area of vendor selection and vendor management within the Information Technology field.

In 1992, BDS played a critical role in the formation of the New York Technology Roundtables where several of the leading financial organizations in the Wall Street area gathered to define challenges and share solutions on a "Best practices" basis among the participants. As an independent consultant and co-founder of this group, Mr. Drohan played a critical role in the formation and future direction of this highly respected organization.

Today, BDS continues this tradition of documenting and analyzing independent perspectives on the critical issues facing technology procurement and management in large organizations. This information is available through both commissioned and independent industry studies as well as consulting assignments.
