Let's get to work on your objectives.
PROGRAM PLANNING
Great ideas remain merely ideas, unless they can be realized. We're here to help you structure a successful implementation.
Is your organization planning or already undertaking a major program to transform the way you conduct business? Do you require the ability to successfully implement new technology, scale your business processes, or develop new products and solutions to support growth? Is your program positioned for success?
In our experience, many programs are destined from the beginning to underdeliver. While studies from various research organizations seem to corroborate this point of view, estimates vary widely, indicating that only 30% – 40% of large IT implementation projects achieve their objectives.
We take a highly-collaborative, cross-functional approach to help you structure your program for success. We can help you clarify the critical success factors, avoid common pitfalls, and establish protocols to keep your program on track.
ENTERPRISE ARCHITECTURE AND TECHNOLOGY ROADMAP
The cornerstone supports the entire structure. We can help you define a technology roadmap and establish a strong IT foundation to unlock your company's growth potential.
Whether you need to establish a new IT environment or evolve your existing IT environment in support of your critical transformation initiatives, we can help.
We find that many organizations are adversely impacted by technical debt that has resulted from past decisions. The need to expedite new products and services to market, changing business requirements, acquisitions, and legacy technologies can introduce complexity that impedes the agility and effectiveness of business operations.
Additionally, emerging technologies and an increasing number of software solutions can make it more difficult than ever to ensure an efficient IT experience for your end-users.
Our holistic approach considers the trajectory and needs of your business and IT. We have experience with cloud, on-premise, and hybrid architectures. We can provide a rapid assessment and prepare a reference architecture and roadmap to help you more effectively structure your IT foundation.
SOFTWARE SELECTION
Not all software is created equal. We can help you evaluate software to make sure it is fit for purpose.
Your business likely differentiates itself based on how you go to market, track metrics, and conduct your operations. Your challenges may differ from other industries and competitors. You need to ensure that the software you implement not only supports, but, also, improves the effectiveness of your organization.
Whether you are considering implementing an ERP solution, a best-of-breed architecture, or point solutions to support specific functional areas, we possess the business and technical aptitude to help clarify your requirements and identify software solution alternatives.
We can help you navigate the process of software selection, facilitating software demonstrations and licensing discussions, while providing an independent, objective perspective regarding the software's capabilities to support your business and longer-term goals.
RESOURCING
Transformations require talent and effective leadership. We can assist you in leading, designing, and developing your implementation teams.
We can help you plan how to resource your key initiatives, including identifying internal resources and their expected time commitments. We can help you evaluate third-party solution providers and independent contractors.
We can provide individualized coaching for executives, project managers and contributors throughout the duration of the transformation to help them work more effectively as a team.
If issues arise during your program we can help facilitate dialog between your key stakeholders, project teams, and third-parties to establish clear expectations to move your program forward.
DEPLOYMENT READINESS
Details are critical to a successful launch. We can help your organization prepare for the deployment of new software and business processes.
In our experience, many implementations experience issues upon Go-Live that potentially could have been avoided.
We can perform a pre-implementation review to help clarify known issues and identify potential risks in advance of your deployment, as well as collaborate with your organization to finalize preparations and develop contingency plans.
The goal is to ensure all systems are ready for a smooth deployment.
