What we do:
- Review business requirements, using our fresh perspective to
determine real needs rather than simply developing recommendations
based on the status quo.
- Interview users in detail to understand critical success factors
and current system deficiencies.
- Assist in determining a realistic budget.
- Supplement our expertise when appropriate with specialists in
Web design, wide area networking and application development.
- For new system evaluation, narrow the possible systems options
from dozens to a more manageable number.
- Insist potential new systems providers organize the presentation
of their products in a structured manner so precise "apples
to apples" comparisons can be made of their products.
- If new systems are needed, help staff embrace the new system
and its ease of operations. We have found that even the best systems
can struggle if there is less than enthusiastic participation
from the employees that will be using it.
- Follow up on pricing, references, and contract issues.
- Manage the implementation of the new system, including installing
appropriate hardware, transferring old data to new the system,
creating custom reports where needed, and training
staff. We pride ourselves on our ability to avoid disruption
to daily operations as the systems implementation is taking place.
