Choosing the right IT system can be a time-consuming and frustrating proposition. Getting it wrong introduces unnecessary cost, complexity and risk into your business.

We work with our clients to ensure that the critical questions are answered rapidly and objectively before committing to any new technology solution. Common themes to be addressed include the following:

• will the solution deliver the right functionality, security and process improvements?
• what are the true, full life-cycle costs?
• what are the solution options and how do they compare?
• what’s the best implementation approach, who will do it and what hosting model is most appropriate?
• are there any compatibility issues with existing systems and data?
• is the solution future proof and does it comply with relevant standards?

Spec 'n' Select 

Our four-stage “Spec ‘n’ Select” approach helps our clients put together all the right pieces through a fully controlled process for making the best solution decision. 

The “Spec ‘n’ Select” methodology offers our clients a range of benefits:

• a modular process with clear decision points at the end of each stage, de-risking early over-commitment
• transparent, objective and consistent assessment of potential solutions and providers
• the approach is driven from the business requirement perspective, NOT the software vendors’
• an accelerated and focussed process designed to drive clarity of requirement, cost and timescale
