A successful business must meet the ever-growing demands of the market. Modern management tools rely on access to information, and the ability to filter and analyze it. Success is achieved through making sound business decisions on the basis on relevant and accurate information. Choosing the right IT system is vital to increasing the overall efficiency of an organization.
IT System Selection
Choosing the right IT system is the cornerstone of all implementation projects. The system itself is often referred to as “tailor-made,” and for good reason. The cost of implementing and maintaining an IT system usually consumes a significant portion of a project’s budget, therefore, the choice must not be made lightly.

IT Due Dilligence
Due Diligence consists in scrutinizing a company’s infrastructure and the IT systems used. Its primary objective is the assessment of the risks associated with unplanned expenditures and any other potential IT issues.
Our experience includes:
- Inventory-taking of the systems and interfaces currently in use;
- Analyzing the functionality gap (what functionality is currently in use, what functionality is desired but is currently not in use);
- Analyzing day-to-day issues in using and maintaining the system (e.g. recurring system errors, poor system performance);
- Analyzing the organizational structure of the IT department, arranging support for system users (helpdesk, system maintenance procedures, change management);
- Evaluating the planned IT investments required for the smooth operating of a business;
- Evaluating the risks associated with IT system maintenance.
