Consulting services in ICT are advisory services that help organisations assess different technology strategies and, while doing so, align their technology strategies with their business or process strategies. These services support organisational IT initiatives by providing strategic, architectural, operational and implementation planning:

Strategic planning usually includes advisory services that help organisations assess their IT needs and formulate system implementation plans, including IWMS / CMMS / CAFM solutions implementation.

Architecture planning usually includes advisory services that combine strategic plans and knowledge of emerging technologies to create the logical design of the system and the supporting infrastructure to meet organisation requirements.

Operational assessment and benchmarking include services that assess the operating efficiency and capacity of an organisation’s IT environment.

Implementation planning includes services aimed at advising organisations on the rollout and testing of new solution deployments.

CONSULTANCY IN PRACTICE

The process starts with a needs assessment to discover the right solution for the target organisation, by investing ample of time with the key stakeholders, with the sole purpose of understanding their existing processes as well as their goals.

In continuation, a documentation of existing processes and identification of areas that are efficient as well as areas that can be improved throughout the implementation is required. Our specialists provide support in the various Asset Management and Facility Management areas addressing reducing costs, generating savings, increasing work productivity, optimizing office space and digitizing work processes, etc.

A deliverable for this phase is a detailed Implementation Plan which includes a set of detailed and refined schedule that takes into consideration key stakeholders core business processes which should not be negatively impacted by the overall project.

An important emphasis is also on supporting clients in the creation of data models based on national and international standards (ISO, PAS, IFC, COBie…) and jointly developing a procedure for data collection, comparison and relocation activities.

Consultancy service is an important component for the successful implementation project. In addition to the project management and the support of our IT specialists, you can rely on a comprehensive and reliable advice from our experienced consultants. They can support you with the technical know-how and provide an assistance with the technical implementation. Our consultants are always improving with the latest developments and innovations, especially within the constantly and rapidly changing IT landscape, and can advise you through a needs-oriented and target-oriented methodology.
