Often solutions to a client's problem may be solved through a service or by
work that can be performed by another company. Sometimes solutions may be
intellectual property, licenses, or products owned by another company. The
Solution Provider is the company that is able to provide the solution to the
client. Once mutual interest is established, Fortnight brings clients and
Solution Providers together and they negotiate directly with each other.
