Strategic Assessment and Planning

A thorough IT assessment allows us to evaluate your current technology’s ability to support future business growth and identify potential barriers to success. Our experienced consultants will review your existing projects, processes and architectures to form an independent, unbiased appraisal of how well they meet their stated objectives.

Strategic assessments are performed to evaluate:

• Service oriented architecture
• Business warehouse requirements
• Business intelligence needs
• Enterprise architecture
• Database design and data modeling
• Business continuity risks
• Web services adoption
• Information lifecycle management
• Software development lifecycle
• Change management
• Bi-lateral business and IT issue resolution

After the assessments are complete, we’ll explore opportunities to transform your critical business and IT functions to position your organization for long-term success. And we’ll develop vendor neutral solutions for product selection, technology adoption, enterprise architecture implementation and infrastructure platform integration.

Implementation and Project Management

Capstone consultants work collaboratively with your business and IT teams to integrate solutions and scale the supporting infrastructure to sustain results. Upon consensus agreement of a solution, a proof of concept is developed to address the identified risks and ensure project feasibility. Conceptual prototypes are built to yield tangible deliverables early in the development process. Development of all systems is iterative, delivering the most valuable functionality first to greatly increase the “time-to-value” of IT investment.

When the development process is complete, we create a deployment and cutover roadmap to transition the new solution into a production environment with minimal disturbance to existing systems. After execution of the cutover sequence, the system is probed and analyzed to determine operational characteristics in a production setting under nominal loads. If required, the system parameters are tuned and reanalyzed. Once optimal performance is established the system is transitioned to your operations staff.
