Technology Consulting
and
Management Advisory
We help companies increase business value by providing expert guidance on developing, refining, and implementing strategies to achieve their long-term goals and competitive advantage. This includes Strategic Planning, Market Analysis, Business Model Innovation, Performance Optimization, Risk Management, Quality Control and Assurance, and Implementation Support.
Business Strategy
We provide a mix of industry and functional expertise to help our clients address business opportunities from strategy through execution. We focus on digital transformation, product innovation, technology infrastructure, data analytics, cyber security, risk management and IT operations. We have the experience to help you achieve your objectives by advising you to make the best decisions to move your business forward with confidence.
Some of our focus areas are:
-
Accelerate digital and technology impact through digital transformation.
-
Improve customer experiences through innovative digital user interfaces.
-
Increase visibility and transparency through advanced data visualization.
-
Align products and services with business priorities through application portfolio analysis and rationalization.
We will work with you to improve business performance and turn risk into opportunities. We'll help you navigate the choppy waters of global competition and meet the emerging challenges due to rapidly changing technologies.
Quality Control Engineering
We help companies develop operating and control procedures so that the products they manufacture meet both internal and external quality standards - crucial in identifying defects, preventing errors, and ensuring compliance with regulatory standards. Some of our focus areas are:
-
Inspection and Testing: We work with your staff to design and conduct tests to ensure that products meet the required specifications. This can include visual inspection, measurement, and using specialized equipment.
-
Data Analysis: We collect and analyze data from production processes to identify trends, root causes of defects, and areas for improvement.
-
Process Improvement: We help develop and implement corrective actions based on the analysis to improve the quality and efficiency of the production process.
-
Documentation: We help in creating and maintaining records of inspections, test results, and corrective actions - not only for compliance but also for continuous improvement.
-
Compliance and Standards: We work with you to ensure that your products adhere to industry-specific standards and regulations (e.g., ISO, Six Sigma, FDA standards).
Software Quality Assurance
We work with companies on all activities related to Software Quality Assurance (SQA) - we perform audits and execute tasks to ensure conformance to design principles, and functional and usability requirements of software. SQA activities occur concurrently with software development. They are an integral part of the software development life cycle (SDLC) with a focus on improving the SDLC process itself so that problems can be identified early and defects prevented before they become major issues. Through SQA, we help businesses lower the cost of conformance and non-conformance.
Lean Six Sigma
Let us help you eliminate waste and optimize your business processes. We utilize Lean Six Sigma methods to collaboratively improve your team's performance through process re-engineering and transitioning to a mutually agreed upon target state of high-efficiency. Lean Six Sigma reduces defects, and allows organizations to focus on growth and continuous improvement, which ultimately results in increasing the profitability of an organization.
We will work with your teams to map existing processes, identify waste and variability, and define a target state that will help achieve business goals sooner and improve customer satisfaction. Lean Six Sigma and Agile work well together to reduce lead-times, increase deployment frequency with lesser defects and improve time to market.
DevOps Automation
We help companies implement - the DevOps pipeline - an iterative software development process from inception all the way through to production. We do this by building a repeatable and reliable process for testing and deploying software. A key component is automation, which allows us to build a robust delivery pipe for automatically merging code branches, compiling and building code binaries, testing and deploying to production with little manual intervention. Automation also allows for frequent deployments into production, which lowers the risk of failures when the end product is released to users.
According to a recent research report by InteropITX, the top drivers for DevOps adoption are the need to increase quality, improve customer experience, and reduce overall IT costs. The report goes on to say that, other benefits are increased collaboration, higher frequency of software deployments, a reduction in time spent maintaining applications, and improved quality and performance of applications. We help companies realize these benefits.
We work with companies to increase their speed to market without sacrificing quality by automating the testing framework and removing inefficiencies in QA, validation and verification. This helps to:
-
reduce the overall cost of development
-
iterate rapidly on changing business priorities
-
innovate on new products.
Agile Transformation
We transform organizations to be agile, high-performing and responsive. An agile organization is able to swiftly react to new market information in order to meet the needs of customers within a matter of weeks or months.
Agile transformation requires a change in an organization's culture. It requires a fundamental change in thinking that allows for flexibility, empowers people to do their best work, and encourages innovative use of technology to experiment and build products quickly.
We work with businesses in helping them adopt agile processes at scale such as Scrum, eXtreme Programming, SAFe, LeSS or one of the other agile methods. Our expertise spans many frameworks. We’ve helped many companies across various industries to reduce their product development times, lower the cost of quality and minimize risk.
