This service offering is to help clients understand their needs, sort through the myriad of products and services, validate vendor claims, and ensure the successful integration of vendor products to the clients’ environment, during the IT acquisition life cycle.
For the planning stage, we offer services in needs analysis, current technology evaluation, and requirement analysis. Once the needs are understood, we offer services to help the client acquire IT products and services, such as formulating the procurement strategy, conducting market surveys, writing the request for proposal, and selecting the right vendors. During implementation, we can continue to serve as the client’s trusted advisor in the oversight of vendors, in aligning business requirements to implementation, and in ensuring quality deliverables
We also offer services such as change and value management for the integration and operational phases to ensure that users adapt to the technology and that benefits of the technology are fully realized. Finally, a lessons-learned or post-mortem study may be conducted for future enhancements and acquisition.
