IT Organization Design & Staff Planning

We help our clients assess both their IT organization and staff and then work together to develop a future strategy and roadmap for the organization. The next step is to build detailed organization designs, staff development plans, and implementation program plans. We can always assist with implementation and teambuilding if needed.

IT Sourcing

Aligned closely with the services above, we can help you assess your current IT vendors and also assess which IT services should be sourced by external providers, and then work together to develop a sourcing strategy and roadmap. Next, we assist with vendor selection, contract negotiations, implementation program plan development, as well as implementation management.

IT Executive/Management Staffing & Coaching

We provide interim IT executive and management staffing when you have a short-term need until permanent staff can be hired. We are also seasoned program and project managers and can lead almost any IT initiatives for your organization. Finally, we provide professional coaching services for both IT executives and managers.

Program & Project Management

Not only can we lead your most critical IT programs and rescue fledgling projects, we can also assess your project methodology and current portfolio of initiatives. We can design process and portfolio improvements and hep you implement them. Also, since project methodologies in most organizations focus on software development, we developed our Lean IT Infrastructure Project Methodology with Project Accelerator Tools. We've implemented this at clients to provide appropriate governance for infrastructure projects without the heavy bureaucracy of most methodologies which inhibit agility and time to market.

IT Governance

We help customers assess business-IT strategic alignment and then develop and implement new IT strategies to improve value delivery to your business. We can also assess your IT governance framework and then develop and implement new governance strategies. We can assess your organization's IT costs, develop investment and cost saving recommendations, and then help you implement changes. Finally we can assess your strategic architecture and engineering process, technology standards, and disaster recovery process, and develop and implement changes.

IT Service Management

IT organizations deliver value through IT services. We can help you assess your current service management and operational process maturity, portfolio of services, service desk operations, as well as your service and systems management tool portfolios. We then develop strategies and roadmaps for improvement as well as detailed designs and implementation plans. As with all our services, we can always help you implement your plans.

IT Enterprise Infrastructure

We help clients assess part or all of their IT infrastructure, develop future strategies and roadmaps, create program plans for implementation, and actually manage implementations. We can also assess your Technology Lifecycle Management (TLM) process, make recommendations, and help with the implementation.

Data Centers

To help you optimize your investment in data centers, we can assess your facilities, operations, tools, and costs. After the assessments, we can help you develop strategies and roadmaps for the future. We are not a data center facility engineering firm, but we can help you work with your facilities experts to ensure IT requirements are met in design and construction as we help manage the overall data center project. We can also help you manage the design and implementation of IT in the data center as well as optimizing your data center operational processes.

Enterprise Applications

We can help you inventory and assess part or all of your enterprise application portfolio, develop future strategies and roadmaps, create program plans to implement changes, and actually manage implementations. We can also assess your Application LIfecycle Management (ALM) process, make recommendations, and help with the implementation.

Cloud Solutions

As the drive to push more to the cloud continues, we can help your organization assess potential cloud solutions and develop and implement strategies for both Platform as a Service (PaaS) and Software as a Service (SaaS) solutions.
