Why CenterSys?
Our main objective is to assist your business to improve its performance by rectifying process redundancies, to better respond to growth opportunities and market changes. When a client wants to specify the requirements for a new system, we ensure that what they are asking for is what they really want, while assessing what is actually needed. We subsequently monitor the project to ensure that our clients are getting exactly what they expected.
We rely on our keen understanding of our client's needs and on our deep insights into the various factors within the operating environment to successfully plan and forecast how all the individual elements fit together to derive the maximum benefit.
Whether the system or solution is a computer software application, an e-business portal, a communication system, or an office work flow system processing regulatory information, process inefficiencies are an intrinsic issue. Whatever the case may be, we use modern approaches to successful development management focusing on the processes used in its broadest sense.
Questionnaire:
Consider your own projects and processes and ask yourself the following questions:
- Are your requirements or those of your clients unambiguous and testable?
- Are the requirements agreed upon, between the client and supplier? Has it been agreed upon as to how the client will accept the solution when delivered and how failures will be handled?
- Is the solution traced back to the agreed requirements?
- Do you have evidence that the proposed solution will work and be delivered on time and within budget?
- Do you know which requirements have changed, as they inevitably will, have they been agreed upon with the client and the suppliers, and have related documents and artifacts been updated as a result of the change?
- Is the project using an iteration based process, focused on internal and final products, which are frequently produced with the risks and issues understood, and fed into the planning for the next iteration?
- Do you have a process to guide you though these steps and manage deviations and problems as they arise?
If you have answered "NO" to any of the above, then it's likely your project already has problems. Additional resource and, hence, increased costs will accrue as the problems and agreements are addressed later during the design, testing, or acceptance phases of the project.
Delivery dates could slip. Many organizations almost consider these outcomes as normal now. It doesn't need to be so! At CenterSys, our advice is not to just code or procure a solution without addressing those wider issues and understanding the broader picture. By partnering with CenterSys, risks can be minimized and development times shortened using modern methods to identify existing bottlenecks and market needs, capture business and system requirements, and accurately establish early on whether a solution actually addresses these needs and delivers an appropriate level of benefit.
Before committing to a major build we use the "What if?" analysis and prototyping to establish the best solution and produce a proven specification. We then deliver the solution while managing expectations and changes that naturally occur in any project ensuring that the project stays on focus delivering the business needs and realizing the expected benefits. We are excited about the opportunity to discuss your next project!
