Application services

Do you want to rationalise the number of point or departmental applications present within your organisation? Chances are you have a variety of critical information sources within your organisation that currently exist in isolation, thereby making it difficult or impossible to extract and share valuable data seamlessly across the business.

How do you deliver an infrastructure platform that delivers a consistent end-user application experience while enabling development that follows standard IT administration processes?

You're looking to IT to provide an end-to-end integrated platform to help you with this consolidation providing the benefit of doing more with less by:

  • reducing the amount of end user training required across point solutions
  • reducing the IT administration function of these applications by having a single set of policies to manage the platform
  • reducing the developer function by having a consistent developer experience across all point solutions

Point solutions your organisation may be looking to consolidate include:

  • enterprise content management
  • web content management
  • business process management
  • business intelligence
  • enterprise social computing
  • ad hoc / agile application developments

We help you deliver organisational value by enabling you to collaborate more effectively with your communities of influence, operate more efficiently through process automation, and improve insight on organisational knowledge and the key success measures that drive your business.

Our application services include:

  • Consulting services: we assess your organisational maturity, identify your knowledge management, business process, business intelligence, collaboration and social computing requirements, and put in a place a roadmap for secure implementation of the most appropriate solutions.
  • Professional services: we design and deploy the solutions identified in the consulting engagement. Our services include planning, architecture, project management, business process automation, business intelligence, licensing, governance and staff augmentation.
