Our Mission Statement

We believe that good project management and design result from the intelligent use of sound structured methodologies at all stages of the project's life cycle.  Nowhere is this more important than in e-business application development.   With the proper structured methodologies, we literally create order out of chaos!

The Consultants in our Network all have proven track records of success, which can be made to work for you.  Each Consultant can work with you and your technical staff to help you achieve the results you seek.

These are the key elements of good project management:
bullet 
 Correct assessment of product requirements, acquired through astute analysis of existing processes and confirmed by frequent design reviews with the user community.
bullet 
 Thorough definition of system architecture to be used to accomplish project goals.
bullet 
 A realistic project plan defining project scope, goals, tasks to be accomplished, timelines, resources required, and a projected ending date.    (Well-defined timelines for design, analysis, prototyping, development, system testing, user acceptance, implementation and post-implementation phases).
bullet 
 Structured methodology for capturing business requirements (business process flows, use cases, scenario flows).
bullet 
 Thorough data analysis of existing databases and/or complete data modeling.
bullet 
 Complete system design delineating all processes and data elements, and/or graphical object model.
bullet 
 Thorough system testing of all parts of the system, using all possible scenarios.

 Gradual completion of all phases of the project, with full accountability for work produced at all levels.
 
Statistics show that 70% to 75% of all information technology projects fail because one or more of the above key elements was left out.
