 : Technology Consulting
Every day we are approached by clients that are simply looking for advice over a technology or engineering problem. The questions come in numerous forms, but often include:
  • My product development is behind schedule – can I get an independent perspective and a recovery plan?
  • A competitor has introduced a new product which customers in my segment like – how can I respond?
  • Can I take cost out of my product, yet keep its functionality?
  • I want to wireless-enable my product – should I use a standard (which one?) or a bespoke system?
With our industry expertise and deep knowledge of applicable technologies we are able to offer high quality, practical and deliverable advice to our clients and help them to successfully find solutions to these issues.
We help you to turn these conclusions into real market leading products, should you decide this is something you want to do
Why a Technology Consultant?
Information Technology exists within a business environment that determines how useful IT will be to the enterprise. No software compensates for a flawed process or incorrect, incomplete data. No technology is any better than the user who activates its capabilities. Unless there is a good alignment of IT to a company’s business goals, IT simply drains resources with little payback. That hurts your bottom line.
How is a CEO to evaluate the IT Director’s wish list of new products?
How can the IT Director make a compelling business case for change without a thorough understanding of management priorities and business unit needs?
MCI Technology Consulting specializes in addressing these issues.
IT decisions involve a review of long range objectives, an assessment of the current business processes supported by information technology and an analysis of the return any change is likely to generate. Sometimes the best IT decision is one that does not involve any technology at all.
An external consultant is able to cross departmental boundaries and the agendas of internal stakeholders in order to find the best solution for the question at hand. An outsider brings objectivity as well as awareness of industry trends, successes and failures.
