We have a highly successful track record of executing a variety of project genres like Migration, Application Integration, Full-play-rollout of packaged solutions, amongst others. In all these cases, a rigorous methodology is laid out apriori in which the project execution is controlled step by step in a way that manages scope creep, minimizes demand on user involvement, and mitigates risks. Migration projects usually involve a double whammy of large amounts of code to be migrated and crunched timelines to deliver. This can be accomplished in a risk-free manner only by deploying tightly structured processes and setting up checkpoints along the way. A quick assessment phase, at the start, uncovers available options that are evaluated and recommendations made in the light of customer’s own preferences if any. An optional pilot project may be carried out to validate the processes and the tools selected and to tune the estimation models for expected productivity. It is followed by the actual migration and finally testing of applications and data and rollout. Application Integration projects are usually quite diverse in situations and require interactions on third party or legacy solutions with attended uncertainties. Here again, the structured methodologies allow us to quickly cover the ground and accomplish the integration. The knowledge of business domain and best practices in industry enables our consultants to optimally scope the ‘real’ needs, analyze a variety of possibilities, and recommend effective solutions. We are known to consistently simplify the integration task down to essentials while not giving up on the needs. With solution rollouts such as with Navision, SharePoint Portal, Biztalk, and others, the challenge is how to deliver customer needs with minimal TCO-damaging customization. This requires us to comprehensively know the solution and its features on one hand and the business processes of the customer on the other hand to suggest an optimal mapping with minimum customization – for which we uniquely qualify. We use Microsoft’s recommended methodologies for this purpose, bringing in its own experiences and expertise. Plans and budgets are, for once, not chimerical with Templated Projects; the risks are out and gains are in.
