Requirements & Evaluation
Requirements:
Perhaps the most single difficult project phase is defining project and product requirements. Business outcomes can only be guaranteed when they are actively defined – up front. Clearly defined business requirements enable organisations to seek technology solutions that meet specific business needs. Consult Point works with you to ensure requirements are effectively identified and managed.
What we provide:
Documentation of business requirements is essential. Our IT and business consultants will:
- Identify the needs of your organisation
- Articulate these needs to create a comprehensive description of what is required
- Discuss what will make the project successful
- Link short term business needs to long term capacity planning
Evaluation:
Once an organisation has clearly defined their requirements, it is necessary to seek out the right technology to do the job. Evaluating prospective technology solutions can be tedious, confusing and time consuming. Many hardware, software and communications products are extremely complex and it can be difficult to judge exactly what benefits you will receive from each. Consult Point offers a structured, proven process of selecting technology based on key business imperatives and sensitive price points. Furthermore, our consultants contribute their knowledge of prices and technical details to ensure that a proposed technology can do the job, at the right price.
What we provide:
Consult Point evaluations can be thought of as having four distinct phases:
- Identification of key evaluation points
- Development of evaluation questions and defining measurable outcomes
- Collection, collation and analysis of all relevant data
- Provision of information to the relevant audience
As part of the evaluation process:
- Our experienced IT consultants help you to evaluate prospective technology solutions
- We help you to decide if any optional features represent value for money
- We help to negotiate the best price, and ensure this price is all inclusive
- Consult Point advises you on which technology will most suit your organisation's needs
