| Project Feasibility Validation and Support | Recent Case Study » |
AMC has extensive experience in all aspects of the software delivery lifecycle (both package and custom build), from requirements analysis, through to testing, packaging and delivery.
Our approach to projects is pragmatic and focussed on realistic return on investment and risk management.
When we review a project, we get involved with the right people (from sponsor through to end user) and provide you with a realistic evaluation of feasibility, budget expectation, capability to deliver and realistic completion timescales.
We guarantee that our down to earth approach will be both stakeholder friendly and effective, and existing project members will be left feeling reassured and more in control.
If a direct project review is not suitable, we can partner with specific staff/project members to help them review the project, while cross skilling as part of the process. |

| Software or Business
Process Reengineering and Implementation |
Our
consultants have been heavily involved in the creation, overhaul
and implementation of both software and business processes within
many Information Technology and Financial Services organisations.
By working with your senior executives and line managers we
can determine weaknesses in current (or missing) processes.
We can then design or redesign processes that maximise your
existing capabilities. We can also look at areas that may be
best outsourced based on cost/payback ratios or peak usage patterns.
Our goal is always to maximise capability in a cost effective
and pragmatic way.
