Process Improvement
Even business processes that are defined and well documented can
often be improved. Processes that are technology-centric or which
optimize activities within functional “silos” tend to sub-optimize
the overall process, increasing costs and reducing efficiency.
MetaVista’s consultants focus on the end-to-end business process,
with value creation as the ultimate goal.
IT Governance
IT Governance has become a significant issue for many organizations,
in part due to compliance initiatives such as the Sarbanes-Oxley
Act of 2002. Fundamentally, IT Governance refers to the system
or processes by which the use of information technology is
directed and controlled; it provides a framework specifying
decision rights and accountability, and typically encompasses
strategy and policies for deploying and using IT.
IT Merger / IT Integration
Merging and integrating multiple IT environments can be a daunting challenge,
whether caused by an internal reorganization or a major corporate merger. Redundant
business applications need to be identified, IT infrastructures must be combined
and optimized, and operational organizations and their related service delivery
processes must be assessed, redesigned, and redeployed. MetaVista’s consultants
have decades of experience in this field; let us put our experience to work
for you. |

Requirements
Analysis and Definition
Well-documented requirements are critical to the success of virtually
any technology project. What does the new product or service need
to do? What performance or security qualities must it have? MetaVista‘s
experienced consultants can help you to clearly and completely document
the requirements for your next project. Alternatively, we can independently
assess and validate existing requirements.
Strategic Planning
Virtually all organizations rely on information technology, and many invest significant
amounts of their scarce financial and human resources on building or maintaining
technology-based systems. Yet for many organizations, IT investment is not
fully aligned with business needs, and IT infrastructures are perceived as
costly and difficult to manage. MetaVista can help you develop a systematic
approach to IT strategic planning, from data center facilities to technology
lifecycle management.
Acquisition Support Services
Large IT projects require significant investments of capital
and labor, and yet the benefits of such investments can be
hard to justify. Even when the benefits are clear, the procurement
of goods and services involves complex documentation, including
process and technology assessments, requirements analyses,
cost estimates, Requests for Offers (RFO), Requests for Proposals
(RFP), Information Technology Procurement Plans (ITPP), and
Feasibility Study Reports (FSR). MetaVista’s consultants have
extensive experience in providing acquisition support for public
and private sector clients, and we can leverage that experience
to help maximize the efficiency of your next acquisition effort.
Facilitation Services
From strategy development sessions for local government officials to JAD sessions
for software development teams, MetaVista can help make your meetings more
effective. More importantly we can help you achieve your business objectives. |
