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.
