Needs Assessment
The initial step with all projects is the exploration of the current operating environment to discover all deployed software and hardware relevant to the chosen project, as well as any potential anomalies or areas of concern.
Reporting
Following discovery, an initial report is typically generated documenting findings, summary, scope of work, methodology, assumptions, deliverables and timelines. If needed, the initial report is followed interim and final reports as the project proceeds.
Quoting & Procurement
Following review of the initial report and any requested additions or omissions, final pricing for required hardware, software and services is collected and purchasing decisions are finalized.
Implementation & Testing
The proposed solution is introduced and all relevant hardware, software and services installed, configured and tested. Technical issues discovered during testing are addressed and resolved.
