A government building.

Information Technology

There are significant challenges involved with government information technology projects: many are large scale; include many functions with different requirements, and, involve a wide range of legacy technologies spanning multiple generations. In addition, the political and economic landscape is very dynamic which can result in changes in sentiment about priorities of projects and funding.

Jimenez Consulting Solutions brings best practices from the commercial world to management of information technology projects in the Public Sector:

  • We know how to govern and manage IT investments, streamline programs, deliver capabilities faster, and realize benefits without getting bogged down in administrative roadblocks.
  • Many projects fail because of poor communications and unmet expectations.  Despite these challenges Jimenez Consulting project managers maintain focus to: 
    • keep initiatives on track
    • communicate effectively
    • deliver on or before expectedprovide very high quality
  • We understand the importance of ensuring  that requirements and customization are fully defined, developed and tested.
  • We understand the benefits of standardization and can help you over come challenges. When implementing new standards across a variety of department systems the inital thought may be hat it will be too costly. Using knowledge of best practices, we help the teams discover unnecessary process variations and help design a common processes that can work for all. Often the road to standardization can be staged.  For example in the short term:
    • Create a bridge system to the components' legacy systems, to save costs. Not a perfect solution, but a move toward interoperable data at a relatively low cost in a short time frame and later
    • Integrate standards into various systems allowing time to  provide expertise and identify configuration options with each system.
  • Our team can also assist you in getting reporting right and delivering it timely.  We will help you understand and focus on the key performance indicators (KPIs) that matter most, and agree on a straightforward way to measure and report them.
