Consulting Services

apimOur process improvement consulting services are based on our extensive experience in helping organizations solve their critical problems and implement effective changes. Each engagement is structured to ensure that the client's unique needs and requirements are addressed.

Complemented by our appraisal and training services, we offer proven consulting services for all stages of process improvement:

Strategic Planning

Successful process improvement requires a well-thought-out plan that takes into account both deficiencies in the current process and the evolving needs of the organization.  Our unique workshop-based strategic planning methodology helps engineering process groups make the right choices.

Implementation Guidance

Organizations with strong and effective process improvement programs invest in training and take advantage of external expertise when necessary. Our consultants provide ongoing guidance and support for process improvement – from answering questions about CMMI practices to advising process groups and managers and reviewing process definitions. In many cases support can be provided via email, telephone, or web conferencing.

Our consulting services are integrated with our training services. Engagements are often structured to include training and consulting to ensure organizations make well-directed and sustainable progress.

Measurement is an essential element of process management. Our measurement consulting services will help you establish effective measurement programs that address your organization's information needs and are consistent with the maturity of your organization's processes.

Monitor Progress

Our Progress Review services ensure your process efforts stay on track. Conducted on-site or via web conference, progress reviews allow us to help you assess progress, resolve issues, and make decisions regarding your process improvements.

IT Compliance

Sound IT governance is increasingly important in light of business pressures and government regulations. Our IT Compliance services can help ensure that your governance processes are up to the task.

Special Projects

We are available to conduct studies or one-of-a-kind efforts to help you address unique issues or needs. Our strengths in process improvement, strategic planning, software engineering management, and measurement allow us to address a wide variety of areas. Recent projects include development of a deployment model and a large-scale maintenance study.
