Technology Evaluation
Understanding business applications and their supporting IT infrastructure is critical to delivering flexible solutions that respond to changing conditions. We work with both business users and IT stakeholders to understand a company’s technology landscape and application needs.
Today, more than ever before, companies are challenged to get the most out of their current IT investments while ensuring process alignment between IT and the business units. During a technology review, Accelent can take an objective stance on the current systems being used and discern how the process flow requirements of the business are being impacted by outdated system configurations. For instance, it can be painful getting accurate customer data from financial systems into CRM systems. Improving process alignment and system integration means marketing can better target customer needs, deliver sales more qualified prospects, and identify new opportunities to increase the installed base.
Sometimes the solution is upgrading an older system or retiring it. To get new systems faster, many companies are supplementing their enterprise systems with hosted applications that deliver business solutions OnDemand. Accelent can research and evaluate a range of solutions and accelerate the selection process. As part of the Technology Evaluation, Accelent will:
- Review existing business applications and infrastructure
- Analyze tool and technology options
- Develop a Business Application Roadmap
- Perform an Impact Analysis of recommended changes
- Define implementation Success Criteria
- Negotiate application changes and timing with IT

"A corporation is a living organism; it has to continue to shed its skin. Methods have to change. Focus has to change. Values have to change. The sum total of those changes is transformation."
