Identifying problems is a relatively simple process; identifying solutions is not. Our assessments focus on solutions to the strategic and tactical challenges that face your organization.

For an assessment to be effective, it must accomplish three objectives, without creating disruption to the ongoing activities.

• It must identify realistic solutions within the schedule and budgetary constraints
• It must identify efficient ways to introduce these solutions
• It must provide a report with clear decision points and definitive results

Project Appraisal
Project management is often blamed for low project success rates. This is an unfortunate reality which strikes at the core of why most projects fail. In order for project management to be successful, it must first have a sound plan and design to manage. Our project assessment identifies solutions to the planning, design, and logistical elements that are commonly overlooked, and can provide immediate results to your business.

“A building construction project cannot be successful if the architecture and design has structural deficiencies and the building supplies don’t show up at the right time, regardless of the project manager’s experience and capabilities. Similarly, an IT system project is only as good as its architecture, design, and logistics.”

System Inspections
Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) is a frequently used, but rarely understood term. Our AIM™ Assessment is the first of its kind to measure a system’s SOA compliance as it pertains to meeting business initiatives.

“SOA is like flight. It can be achieved with a piece of paper. Meaningful flight, such as the ability to transport two hundred people over a distance, is another matter. Similarly, for SOA to be meaningful, it must achieve a business objective.”

Enterprise Appraisals
Enterprise Architecture (EA) is a growing phenomenon throughout the public and private sector. Our assessment solutions can help to identify the best ways to translate your EA into meaningful systems architecture, and translating your business initiatives to reality.

“An initiative is most successful if its resources are positioned to achieve the greatest positive outcome.”
