 Project and Program Management:
For any or all of the services listed below, we
can provide experienced and skilled management. Our staff
will work in conjunction with your management group and the
project team to ensure that expectations are set correctly
and that these expectations are fulfilled. Our managers
understand that the keys to making a project successful are
to keep the project team focused, and to keep the project on
time and on budget. Our staff are also experienced enough to
recognize when a plan needs to be reevaluated and revised to
ensure the overall success of the project.
Conceptualization and Implementation
Planning: Prime Dynamics can assist in
exploring whether more information technology use brings
value to your organization. Next, we can help in
implementation planning. Necessary elements of this task
will be needs analysis, creation of a business case (to
determine where the biggest bang for the buck can be had),
crafting of the implementation blueprint. This blueprint
should include cost and timing estimates as well as
technical requirements and design elements. These tasks can
all be done more or less formally, depending on your needs.
Software and Hardware Selection:
Once the required functions and characteristics of the
system have been defined in the planning stage, software and
hardware platform selections must be carried out. Prime
Dynamics can provide the necessary expertise to streamline
this task. In addition to streamlining, Prime Dynamics will
also act as an independent third party evaluator of the
options to ensure that your organization receives the
capabilities it requires but does not spend a dollar more
than is necessary.
Implementation of
Pilot Projects:
Sometimes organizations want to see a proof-of-concept prior
to full scale implementation and rollout of a system. Prime
Dynamics can provide the skills, experience and expertise to
design and carry out this Implementation Pilot Project.
Full Scale Implementation:
Once the software and hardware have been selected
and the implementation plan has been proven and approved,
full scale implementation of the system can begin. This
stage will typically involve installation and configuration
of hardware and software, data conversion, application
development, and a significant amount of planning and
coordination. Prime Dynamics will take on as much of this
task as your resources require, from turnkey to staff
augmentation.
Application Development:
A key element of many implementation projects is
the development of customized or semi-customized
applications and interfaces. This work is required to adapt
the broad-based capabilities that come out-of-the-box to
meet the more specific and detailed information needs of
your organization. This task probably encompasses a broader
range of work effort than any other listed here. Simple
interfaces may require only a few hours of development time
while other more complex applications will consume several
years worth of resources. Through our staff and out
partners, PDTG can provide appropriately skilled resources
for whatever length of time is necessary for the development
task at hand.
Prime Dynamics
understands this development process and the technologies
involved. We will help you ensure that your organization
takes a reasonable approach to the design of applications.
We can also manage the development effort to make sure that
the goals and expectations of the application are met.
Process and System Evaluation:
Once your system has been installed and operational,
Prime Dynamics can still provide valuable service.
Periodically, an outside audit of the system's function and
relevance to current business needs and activities should be
carried out. This work mainly involves a verification that
the business and application needs are still in concert with
the system’s capabilities and strengths. The results of this
work are recommendations for the business process changes to
more fully utilize additional capabilities of the system,
system changes to more closely mirror the required business
functions, or even the adoption of a new software platform
due to changes in both of these.
Training: The
key to receiving value from the implementation of a new
Information Technology campaign is to have your staff
utilizing it in their daily activities. They will not be
able to fully exploit the capabilities of the system without
training. Prime Dynamics will offer a wide array of training
options, from highly customized personal instruction to more
generic computer-based, self-paced training software. |
