Business System Requirements Planning, Search and Implementation

Finding out what an enterprise really needs in a business system tool set in order to do business in the most efficient, cost effective and integrated manner - knowing where to look for the right solution and who to talk to - and devising an achievable plan within your budgetary and time constraints, are goals we have assisted numerous Clients in manufacturing, distribution, financial and government sectors to attain.

Our objectivity is sustained by our independence - we have intentionally avoided establishing a formal partnership with any and all solution providers. We sincerely believe that no one solution is applicable to every environment.

Our services include all or any part of Client business application software, hardware and communication needs.

We employ a proven and disciplined methodology, which includes:

• Use of an extensive checklist of functional and technical platform requirements, which are reviewed with your project team and customized to highlight elements which may be unique to your environment (i.e. providing a strategic advantage to you over your competitors or due to a Customer/Government requirement) that you would like to see in any proposed solution;
• Prioritization of these requisites (i.e. "essential", "not necessary on Day One" or "nice to have") and preparation of an RFI - Request for Information - to be sent to potential solution providers;
• Identification and "short listing" of potential solution providers;
• Analysis of vendor responses;
• Determination, in concert with your team, of the two or three candidate vendors who address your needs most closely;
• Preparation - with your team - of business cycle scenarios which closely mirror the way you do business;
• Establishment of and attendance at demonstration sessions in order to "prove" the vendors’ offerings (these sessions typically take three to four days, in order to enable the Team to get behind the "smoke & mirrors" and to test the functionality and technical aspects of a solution);
• Construction of cost / benefit (ROI) analyses and assistance in preparation of internal appropriation requisites; and
• Assistance in the implementation phase(s) as required (please see Project Management/Facilitation).
