The real value
that we add from a Software Consulting perspective
is in our ability to see the bigger business picture.
That means that we give you technology advice
that is relevant to your business goals and operations.
Our software consultants have considerable talent
and expertise. They can also draw on the extensive
knowledge and experience that we as an organization
have built up through having been involved with
internet technology for several years.
There are a myriad ways in which we make a difference
to our clients, but if you would like to get a
flavor of some of the approaches that we take
to software consulting take a look at how we make
a Difference
How We Make A Difference:
In deploying software
solutions, our aim is try to ensure delivery of
the functionality that you require, within the
given timeframe. However, there will be tradeoffs
to be made and you will have to weigh up the opportunity
cost of prioritizing particular requirements.
In order to get to a position where you can make
these choices our software consultants start off
by working with you to understand the business
goals of the project. We are then in a position
to advise on the interaction between the technology
and the business and to help to establish your
unique proposition.
We also assist you in evaluating your current
technical strategy. This means looking at where
you are now, what software applications you are
using and what resources you have. In addition,
it means focusing both on what technology solutions
you will need in the short term, together with
what your long term requirements will be.
The technology environment is a dynamic one, and
changing situations require rapid responses. This
means that effective communication is of paramount
importance throughout the process. From the beginning
we therefore look to set up robust communication
channels between our organisation and yours.
Once these building blocks are in place, our software
consultants will work with you to establish a
so-called "modular" architecture, ie.
one that can be broken down into units that reflect
the choices you need to make. You are now well-positioned
to be able to evaluate these choices and make
informed decisions based on objective and logically-presented
criteria that are directly relevant to your organisation.
Finally, once you have established a direction
our software consultants will assist you with
resource planning and in particular with designing
a resource planning schedule that is flexible
enough to provide for contingencies.
