Strategic IT Assessment, Planning & Solutions

In today’s IT environment, changing needs and challenges often require an expert and independent point of view to listen, assess, and recommend effective strategies. Our team of senior-level analysts, architects and developers can assist your organization to identify and improve business processes using IT solutions tailored to your exact business and technology needs.

Say, for example, one of an organization's key business processes involves the creation of a detailed monthly report that is tedious and time consuming to produce because it requires pulling information from different, disconnected systems. An analysis reveals that this process could be dramatically simplified by using BizTalk to establish secure, automated data interchange between the various systems, and using SharePoint and SQL Server's built-in data handling services to produce the needed report online.

Our services in this area fall under two main headings: Application Integration and Enterprise Architecture.

Application Integration

The goal here is to leverage the power of the existing systems to streamline important business processes. This involves getting disparate systems to talk to one another so that data does not have to be manually collected from one system and then entered into another.

Enterprise Architecture

A practical approach to EA can yield vital information about systems used in key business processes. The challenge here is that often even mission critical systems are inadequately documented, thus requiring reverse engineering and analysis to fully document critical elements such as the structure of the database used by the system. This information must be known and lays the foundation for increasing the value and efficiency of an organization's IT assets.
