Barry Patmore brings over 35 years of consulting experience to help guide the further development of RampRate's proprietary outsourcing methodology.
Patmore had a distinguished 34 year career at Accenture (formerly Andersen Consulting) where he helped improve business processes and implement large scale IT systems for many leading companies including Microsoft, US West, Capital Group, Visa, Disney, Mazda and JPL. His responsibilities included managing partner of the Pacific Northwest and Southern California offices and global managing partner of the business process competency. He was one of the lead developers of Method/1, the firm's systems development methodology and he collaborated with Michael Hammer to develop the methodology utilized by the firm for business process reengineering.

He was also the interim CIO at Children's Hospital Los Angeles, during which he directed the outsourcing of IT. He continues to advise the hospital on IT strategy and major projects.
"Ultimately RampRate recognizes that sourcing is not just about economics, but the exchange of human capital and intellectual property - its about finding the best fit" said Patmore. "Having been involved in many outsourcing projects, I am impressed by the methodology utilized by RampRate, and am eager to play a role in the company."
