Our (broader) market for IT consulting services consists of eight main disciplines:
IT Strategy, IT Architecture, IT Implementation, ERP Services, Systems Integration, Data Analytics, IT Security and Software Management. IT strategy focuses on strategic IT propositions and IT advisory, offerings which commonly represent the first phase of any IT undertaking. Our engagements last between six weeks to six months depending on the complexity, with the average lying at two to three months. Examples of our projects include defining a corporate IT strategy, setting up a business case for an ERP system or designing a cybersecurity vision – engagements that set the stage for further IT work.
Our IT architecture looks at the IT processes and systems, and defines the technological blueprint that enables business processes. Our projects typically last between six to 12 months and our architecture services precede any IT implementation or systems integration efforts. Our consulting offerings include, among others, defining an enterprise landscape, implementing a Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA), or guiding the outsourcing of architecture processes to an external vendor. Our Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) services are activities that support our clients with designing, implementing and/or maintaining ERP systems and modules. Our key propositions include ERP package selections, business process redesigns based on an ERP template, and implementations of, for instance, SAP or Oracle products.
Our systems integration domain looks at how different computing systems and software applications can link together in order to ensure that systems act as a coordinated whole. This often involves ensuring that ERP systems/modules can interact with other, more tailored applications that run in the IT landscape. Our IT security focuses on risk, security and compliance responsibilities in the IT landscape, while our IT implementation line of business encompasses all of our services related to the design and implementation of technology-driven projects.
Our Software Management refers to the practice that involves managing and optimising the purchase, deployment, maintenance, utilisation, and disposal of software applications within an organisation. Lastly, our data analytics, an upcoming domain, centres around techniques and tools that can turn large amounts of data into valuable information in order to support decision making. Our propositions in this segment are business intelligence, workforce analytics, customer intelligence, data warehousing (big data) and predictive modelling. -
Our Information Technology Consultants are hired by clients to support them with using information and communications technology to meet business objectives or overcome problems. Our type of work can range from strategic (such as developing a new IT strategy or IT cyber-security approach) to tactical (such as the implementation of an ERP system or the selection of an IT system) to highly operational (such as the development of a mobile application).
