While I concur that going with an experienced Rev developer as a consultant is probably the best way to approach this problem/opportunity, I'd suggest you may need two consultants or a well-coordinated team. Because you really want, as an end result, an internal team with a good foundational understanding of Rev. That means you need someone to train one or more of your team members. It's a rare bird who can both consult and teach/train but technology transer here feels more important than specific near-term project completion. If I'm right about that, then I'd bring in a trainer.
