HOUSTON – September 5, 2005 -Comensura, a leading national managed services provider (MSP), launched a new identity as Guidant Group. Formed in 2000, Guidant Group has evolved from the typical Managed Services Program provider to a high touch consultative organization that blends people, process and technology to seamlessly manage a company’s workforce investment as it relates to all departments enterprise-wide. In early August, the Guidant Group’s senior management team presented their new identity to their clients through a series of road shows across the country.

“This rebranding campaign allows Guidant Group to go forward building upon the identity it’s forged over the years," said Dennis Kanegaye, Guidant Group president. “The name Guidant Group is more representative of the value we bring to our clients as independent, proactive watchdogs focused on optimizing a company’s contingent labor program. We serve as guides, safely leading companies through the rough terrain of these large-scale programs.”

Guidant Group brings together all the working parts, eliminating the chaos of multiple vendors, multiple contracts and conflicting agendas. “There’s an increasing requirement for minimized exposure and compliance across the enterprise and Guidant Group utilizes its proven methods to audit the overall workforce value chain to uncover cost savings, optimization opportunities and exposure risks,” said Kanegaye.
