History
Transform originated as a partnership between FocusIT Group,[5] a Georgia-based technology consulting firm founded in 2001, and DifEQ Consulting,[2] a Georgia-based process improvement and operations reengineering consulting firm founded in 2004.[6] John C. King, a former CIO of Delta Air Lines previously ranked in the Top 100 U.S. Public Company IS Executives[7] in the U.S. by InformationWeek, was CEO of FocusIT Group and a member of DifEQ Consulting's Board of Advisors. Christopher G. Burger and Darren R. Heil - the founding Partners of DifEQ Consulting - along with Mr. King, formed Transform in early 2007 with a primary focus on technology integration and process improvement.
