This would involve interviews with key staff members, process mapping, market analysis for off the shelf solutions and obtaining high level development estimates for custom made solutions.

Depending upon the application subject area review can range from 10 days to 6 weeks. There is no obligation to make purchasing decisions based on the recommendations approved.

This service can be further supplemented with a technology roadmap review and strategy if needed.
