Enterprise Information System Audit
Many investments in Enterprise Information Systems fail to provide the Return on Investment (ROI) that was used to justify the initial investment. The Enterprise Information System Audit is focused on review of the initial project expectations, interviewing stakeholders, and most importantly, providing a specific action plan regarding current information systems and recommendations on how to leverage existing investments through integration, executive dashboard, and development of new system to replace gaps being filled by stand alone, non-integrated tools.

Software Evaluation and Selection
Finding the right software for a company is downright scary and a poor software decision has negative ripple effects that can undermine business for years to come. A two-phase evaluation and selection method is used. Phase one quickly reduces the long-list to a short-list of packages. Phase two matches the requirements of your company with the features of the software. Strong emphasis is placed on developing business focused needs versus just a list of software functionality.
Strategic Planning
Strategic planning is a management tool, period. As with any management tool, it is used for one purpose only: to help an organization do a better job - to focus its energy, to ensure that members of the organization are working toward the same goals, to assess and adjust the organization's direction in response to a changing environment. In short, strategic planning is a disciplined effort to produce fundamental decisions and actions that shape and guide what an organization is, what it does, and why it does it, with a focus on the future. This activity includes review of your organization's business and technical environment based on a review of strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats (SWOT).

Technology and Needs Assessment
The Technology Needs Assessment is a snapshot of current organizational technology needs and the deliverable is a technology development and implementation model. By surveying a cross-section of management personnel and day to day users of technology in the organization, the report will identify the current and future technology needs in order to document improvements that can eliminate waste and add significant value to the organization. It provides a roadmap for developing or implementing a new technology or tool.
