We can perform an overall assessment to help figure out the best approaches to reduce costs for your organization and then deliver those cost savings, or partner with you on specific cost reduction opportunities.

Your business might have some short term needs for expertise but might not need to hire that expertise full time. We can bring that expertise to you, either on a one-time project basis, or on a recurring retainer basis, so you always have access to the expertise when you need it. This can ensure your technology capabilities get built taking into account your entire ecosystem as well as industry expertise.

We can bring our expertise to you in multiple ways:

• Fractional or Interim CIO/CTO/Senior IT leader: We bring our decades of experience to fill in a part time or temporary role as a CIO, CTO or another senior technology leader. We can fill such roles for a short duration while you search for a full time leader, or for organizations that may not want to hire a full time leader, provide such services on a fractional/part-time basis so that you can still benefit from have that senior technology leadership presence to avoid any technology pitfalls and be set up for longer term success.

We help build out your IT strategy and help evolve it to ensure you can meet the growing and ever more complex needs of the business, while staying safe from cybersecurity threats and being compliant with various regulations.
• Capability and Technology Roadmaps: Many organizations build out their project roadmaps based on what types of systems are being requested by the various parts of the organization. Our capability based roadmaps invert the discussion from technologies to implement towards capabilities needed by the organization. This allows for more holistic cross-functional discussions towards future capabilities, reducing point systems for each function and building more streamlined end to end process efficiencies as the roadmap is executed.
• Assessments: For any type of technology that your organization might be interested in implementing, there are several vendors that likely have systems that fit the overall need. Often times businesses tend to go with systems they have used before, but given the pace of change and the ecosystem you have, there is often a need to do a comprehensive assessment across multiple vendors, involving a broad group of stakeholders. This results in holistic forward looking decisions that can add business value for years to come and avoid expensive mistakes. Such efforts require specific expertise in conducting such assessments as well as a level of independence which we are able to bring. The end result is an objective assessment of potential options to pick the best available solution for your requirements.
• Building New Capabilities: New capabilities can help bring more business value to your organization through the use of data, technology and other capabilities. Whether you want to bring the power of AI or Machine Learning, develop data analytics capabilities or build structures and models like business partnerships or software lifecycle management, we can help set up programs to help you build those capabilities and deliver business results.
