Support in choosing ERP, BI, CRM, ECM systems
We do know that choosing the right IT system is a big challenge for every entrepreneur. That is why we offer the support and advice of qualified experts who, thanks to their experience based on continuous analysis of the IT market, will help to choose a solution tailored to the company's needs. Our approach includes analysis of business processes which are to be supported by the IT solution, preparation of functional and non-functional requirements and selection of the systems from the market which will guarantee the most efficient execution of processes and meeting client's expectations. We also examine the potential of suppliers, verifying their financial standing and resources.
Development and management of RFI (Request for information) or RFP (Request for proposal) processes
This service, apart from the actions described in the section Support in choosing ERP, BI, CRM, ECM systems, includes the development of tender documentation, requests for proposals and workshops with the suppliers. In the next steps, we evaluate suppliers and recommend the selection of an implementing partner and the requested IT solution. In the final stage, we support the client in negotiating the content of the offer concerning the provisions of implementation and maintenance contracts.
Implementation of ERP, BI, CRM, ECM systems
Once an IT system has been selected, it is necessary to implement it properly. Companies do not always have resources available for the system implementation process, which in many cases will cover 100% of their working time. Appropriate involvement of resources on the part of the client during the entire implementation project is a guarantee of a success.

Our consultants can support clients' implementation teams, providing help with analyses, trainings, tests, and functionality acceptance delivered at each stage of the project implementation. They can become leaders of such teams and support organizations in reporting the status of project implementation to their management boards.

Maintenance of ERP, BI, CRM, ECM systems
Implementation of ERP, BI, CRM or ECM IT system is just the beginning. Not all users have already mastered the implemented system, therefore it is necessary to provide internal trainings, develop job instructions and supplement the functionalities not yet implemented. Many functional or performance requirements appear after implementation. These require additional analyses, and we also support our clients in this respect. All this involves constant contact with the implementing partner and simultaneous coordination of many activities. Our consultants will help to support the company's IT departments after the system implementation, ensuring smooth operation of the new system and guaranteeing that it will be constantly developed and adjusted to the organization's needs and the changing business environment.
IT project management
Under the IT project management service, our certified Project Managers carry out projects on behalf of our clients. Depending on client`s expectations, our Project Managers can also join Steering Committees and support the executives in strategic project management. We can also work in waterfall (PRINCE2, PMBOK) or agile (SCRUM) methodologies, if required.
Information security
As part of this service, we analyse data security by verifying the client's ICT infrastructure, e.g.:

 

  • Organisation of the server room (access, power supply protection, fire protection)
  • Methods of storing data on disks and the backup system
  • Network and subnetworks
  • Firewall devices
  • WAN, Internet access, backup connections
  • Active Directory service - scope of implementation
  • Management of resources and individual applications
  • Password management (validity), length, capital letters, digits, special characters)
  • GDPR compliance

We also provide audits of the information security management system (ISMS) in accordance with EN ISO/IEC 27001. Our auditors carry out broad reviews of the ISMS and verify at least 114 safeguards required by the standard.
