Process Review

The benefits of a process review include, increasing productivity, improving sales, increasing efficiency and maximise business potential.

Ideally every member of your team should be involved in the review process. This will allow us to capture every potential issue. Including your entire team will ensure that all needs of the business are met and addressed.

Once we have completed the process review, we will then take the time to research what solutions and softwares will benefit your business as well as evaluating existing software. This will ensure you can maximise potential.

On average our process reviews will take one working day. This will allow us enough time to ensure we cover every aspect of your business.

To get the most out of your process review we will need your time and full access to your staff. This ensures we cover all aspects of your business.

There are some standard things that can be done, and we provide some of these tools, however it works best for one of our consultants to go through the business process on site. This enables us to understand all the elements that need to be considered and identified things that would otherwise not be picked up by a templated process review (such as 'what is in the filing cabinet', understanding the capabilities of team members to ensure a compatible solution, and drilling deep into the business to understand what is really important).

The best way to audit your business processes is to firstly identify what needs 'fixing'. This is done by engaging with the team. Secondly, every step in the complete business process needs to be mapped, right from when a lead comes in all the way through to invoicing and beyond. This will enable you to understand what can be improved. It is important, however, that any improvements are considered with the whole business process in mind. Many business improve individual processes in silo, resulting in the time saving being lost elsewhere in the process.

Project Management

Need Answer

Whilst project managing remotely is a possibility, it is more beneficial for our project managers to be on site. This allows us to fully integrate with the team and ensure the project runs smoothly. However, if it is not possible for us to be on site at all times, then we would recommend using a hybrid solution.

We attempt to provide up to three software recommendations for you to review. This is important as one system that does 'everything' may not be the most user friendly and in fact slow the business down. It is important the team have something to compare.

It is highly unlikely that with the hundreds of thousands of software out there that a problem has not already been solved. In the event that we find such a case, we can provide a customised solution to the problem. It is important to note that typically a bespoke solution does come at a higher cost overall and risk compared to an 'off the shelf' package, which is why we look to not re-invent the wheel unless absolutely necessary.

Cloud based solutions (web based solutions) is where the development and investment is, and are constantly updated and maintained, which is why we look to these solutions first. On-premise solutions typically come in at a higher cost when you factor in hardware requirements, upgrading costs in the future and the fact that on-premise solutions are not typically kept up to date meaning the business missing out on features that could further improve their business down the line.

Strategic IT
