Our approach to providing technology and business advisory services to our clients is based on helping you achieve specific measurable business objectives through the proper utilization of technology.
We have experts in both business and technology areas who have helped clients use technology to meet their busines goals. We combine both disciplines and “bridge the gap” that often exists between the IT function and the remainder of the organization. We look at technology as a tactical tool to meet the business goals instead of just a necessary cost of doing business. We have had significant success turning the IT function into a profit center for our clients.
We focus on the following areas when providing advisory services:
Knowledge Management
- Business intelligence gathering and maintenance
- Portal and “dashboard” development overlying existing systems
- Key performance metrics development and monitoring
- Data quality management
Business and Technology Consulting
- Mapping and synchronizing Strategic Business Planning with Strategic Technology Planning
- Development of success metrics and the systems to deliver them (profitability measures, productivity, cash flow management, ROI models, etc.)
- Maximizing benefits from existing technology
- Evaluating Outsourcing alternatives
- Techonlogy architecture design and development
- Green IT initiatives
- IT workforce assessment and training
- Disaster Recovery Planning
- Security analysis
- Unified communications planning and development
Systems Integration Consulting
- Designing enterprise wide solutions
- Integrating existing applications with user and management based toolsets
- Designing solutions to open up existing data “silos” for management access and analysis to valuable legacy data
- Enterprise systems selection
- Evaluating Software As A Service (SaaS) alternatives
- Evaluating business process driven Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) alternatives
After over 15 years of helping clients deploy technology to meet business objectives, it has become clear that spending more is not the answer. Clearly documenting and communicating the business goals for success and using technology to meet them is the true road to successful technology utilization.
