Do This Before You Buy!

The time for a detailed review of a proposed vendor's package is during the evaluation cycle. We check the proposed package for its data design and application functionality, matched against your current requirements for IS support. Using proven methods for user interviewing and requirements modeling, we quickly map your needs to the package under consideration ? before you commit hundreds of thousands of dollars to a potentially inappropriate ? and hard-to-fix ? solution!

Our Approach

We work with your users to define current business goals, functions and information requirements, together with performance indicators and critical success factors for areas to be supported. We examine and revalidate previous systems analysis or documentation for current needs and future probabilities. We map these requirements to the package functionality using detailed matrices, and perform gap analysis to help you assess the solution that best meets your business priorities.
