Slide 2: Analysis and Design There’s no such thing as a successful IT-driven project. Repeat. There’s no such thing as a successful IT-driven project. Most executives are already well aware of the grief associated with getting major eBusiness initiatives off the ground. Where do you start? What can you do to make the project lifecycle more bearable? The answer: eBusiness projects driven by the business. For some time now, eBusiness initiatives have been run and controlled by the IT side of a firm. This creates a fundamental problem, because development initiatives should be driven by a company’s overall business strategy and its customers’ needs – requirements that originate from business teams, not IT departments. We can help put your eBusiness projects back on track by introducing a business-driven approach to development. We will work with you to develop a high-level process picture that ensures your fundamental business requirements are fully understood before your project moves any further. After all, what’s the point of expending time and resource on a development effort if its functionality doesn’t reflect your actual business requirements? But as the number of activities going on in your business increases, the impact of small inefficiencies can magnify – which can result in definite bottom line loss. Coupled with lowered customer satisfaction, this can, if left unresolved, seriously hamper your long-term survival. Be it the handling of incoming orders to a call center or outgoing orders from a shipping department, better processes save time, cut costs, and help ensure survival as workload ramps up. We can help you develop and implement those better processes. It’s what we do. Our experienced professionals will work with you to understand your current methods, then identify areas that can benefit from the simplification and streamlining of operational workflow. All while keeping your overall eBusiness strategy firmly in mind. We have over 25 years of experience helping organizations of all kinds tackle the challenge of architecting the right technology solutions to improve efficiency and productivity. We can help you too. Process Modeling Every company has their own methods of doing things. And somewhere along the line these methods tie into systems. Sometimes these systems run using elaborate spreadsheets with beautiful color displays. In other cases, they operate on mainframe dinosaurs with black and green terminals that haven’t changed in 20 years. Regardless of the systems employed, one thing is certain: when it comes to doing business, you’re getting it done.
Slide 3: Project Management We understand the challenges that you face in trying to find quality project managers. You need people with strong eBusiness backgrounds.

Throughout the entire lifecycle of your development project, we apply our proven flexibility matrix to ensure that: • expectations are accurately set with all key stakeholders • goals are ambitious but not unreasonable • budget and timeline concerns are respected The secret to our success isn’t a new and improved Gantt chart or the latest spin on the weighted factor scoring model.

Each phase is critical, from preplanning to deployment, and each phase must be effectively managed for success. We realize this – and that’s why our solutions work.
