Project Management Service:
Software solution development, maintenance, enhancement and change management are in big demand for project management services. We provide end-to-end project management services with respect to the users’ needs. Our team is well versed in analyzing business requirements, eliciting users’ needs, scoping, planning, scheduling, budgeting, monitoring and preparing bi-weekly progress reports.
We are fully aware that the excellent project management practice is not solely enough to guarantee the success in software development projects. We have seen how increasing cost during maintenance, inflexible architectures to adapt with the new needs and demands of the business, security issues and inappropriate user adoption plan have failed big software projects and made the organization suffer big financial losses.
Our one of a kind risk management program will closely monitor the failure-risk factors during the project lifecycle, from inception to operation.
Software Training:
Nowadays, organizations regardless of their size; ranging from medium to large,
utilize at least one software application to run their business. It does not matter if the software application is an off-the-shelf or a customized development, the user adoption, in specific training, comes at last, after the major tasks such as the business and user requirements elicitation, design, implementation, testing and debugging.
Believe it or not, this simple single task, user training has a major influence on the user satisfaction and may result in the user rejection or hesitation to adopt the change and use the new solution. Change is not easy and when it comes to adopting a new system or technology to increase efficiency and performance in an organization, it will be very costly too. Investing in the user adoption stage may seem the last area you would like to spend the money and effort on. But it will pay you off big time.
Supported by 5 years of experience, we believe hand holding and walking end users through the change makes a huge difference in user acceptance during the adoption phase.
We provide planning for the user adoption along with training and preparing the training materials in different formats such as:
User manuals in the form of;
- Paper/electronic copies
- Training videos
- In-class training
- Online training
We are also available for troubleshooting with users via phone, online and on-site at their desks.
Project Team Facilitation:
Sometimes your project faces challenges which neither have anything to do with the technical, nor management problems. Rather they are caused by the individuals who are involved in the project.
The lack of engagement, motivation, clear communication and safe psychological environment to facilitate individuals to participate effectively in the project activities can not only suffer individual’s well-being at the workplace but also can diminish the project efficiency and performance.
Our consultation and coaching services help an organization to tackle the project team efficacy issues and unleash their business potentials to the next level. We study your project management workflow and environment, interview team members, provide you with several alternative solutions and work with you, to implement one which is more in line with your organization’s culture and goals.
Software solution development
Small and medium-size businesses usually cannot afford to purchase off-the-shelf, sophisticated software application which is designed to fully administer the company’s business. Instead, they tend to obtain generic software applications which are less expensive and more popular. Here is an example list:
- Excel (To manage project cost data)
- Quickbook (To manage business financial transactions)
- Primavera (To manage project schedules)
- Off-the-shelf business data management software including PMIS and HR systems
Those generic software applications are designed to do one thing such as spreadsheet, accounting, scheduling, inventory or asset management. They are standalone applications and do not communicate with each other. They leave the companies with no choice unless to download all datasets in Excel and integrate them in order to produce more meaningful reports.
The integrated reports are very vital for company executive managers to have an overall and holistic view of the business on the daily basis. However, there are very costly to make and very much prone to errors if they are manually made in Excel.
Our solution, the Integrated Report Development Expert (iReport DevXpert), is a web-based application to automate this process and help the small and medium-size businesses create their own reporting system. Companies can create their own report templates simply in Excel, securely upload their individual application datasets to AWS server automatically or manually, and sit back and get weekly reports by email or on their hard drive.
Our experts are also available to help you through your new journey from ideation to implementation and later for the maintenance.
