Most so called consultants are really contractors - paid to do a specific set of technical tasks like system or network administration.

A true consultant provides consultation - a perspective based on knowledge, expertise, and experience that provides the business and its technical staff to achieve objectives in better fashions.

As a consultant I attempt to provide insight as to how technology compliments the clients overall business strategy AND to provide options on how to capatilize on the latest innovations. I rely on my organizations extensive group of experts to provide excellent recommendations.

As an administrator, I help implement what the consultants recommend. I am too busy maintaining systems to assume I know everything about all areas of technology and consultants can help me direct the company to solutions that make sense.
