Optimize

There are few circumstances where a technology issue is just that. When you change your technology, or any piece of it, you may inadvertently change the way your organization works. So even if your IT goal is seemingly straightforward and tactical, AGSI will still address the parts hidden under the water, asking, "How is the entire organization going to work once this is done? Do we need to do any process optimization prior to this being deployed? Is there a more effective way, from the larger business perspective, to accomplish this goal?"

That's a conversation you won't be able to have with your internal IT team, no matter how strong the group, because they cannot know how that new process is going to impact the business downstream. We do know. Through our Optimize solution, we provide advisory and operational effectiveness services that regularly help clients reduce costs, increase efficiencies and improve service delivery.

The differentiator is our intellectual property.

Our proprietary Business Technology Effectiveness Framework (BT3™) aligns information technology with strategic intent, optimizing strategy, governance and execution for an organization's technology-based investments. The results have been significant for our clients.

For example: We took the best elements of six overlapping CRM systems and designed a single best practices model for a Fortune 100 transportation company; enhanced a limited linguistics program to facilitate more rapid and accurate translations for an expanding international audit firm; and upgraded a Disaster Recovery Plan to satisfy regulators and avoid additional penalties following a security breach at an international financial services organization.

AGSI can help you with:
Accurate resource allocation and utilization come down to the right skills in the right place at the right time. AGSI can analyze your ITO's specific type and volume of demand, apply proprietary calculations and then design an optimum human capital model to meet that demand.
The best strategy and execution together still won't maximize your technology investments without a strong governance model to drive decision-making and track results. AGSI can help you build and stand up a program that will allow you to evaluate, rationalize and prioritize every initiative, supported by clear metrics that tie outcomes to ROI.
Whether your need for project management is at the enterprise level or within IT, whether you have a documented or an ad hoc model, we can help you define your best practices and establish a formalized set of policies, procedures, roles and skillsets that will dramatically increase your initiatives' success.
In cases where an organization has no documented Software Development Life Cycle process or only an informal one, we can help determine what type of SDLC process is the best fit, define that process and create documentation, as well as provide roles, responsibilities, policies and procedures for compliance.
In cases where an organization has no formal process in place for requirements management, AGSI can stand up the process or add structure and rigor. Our programs have proven particularly valuable to technology product developers, helping these organizations maintain "the golden thread" of intention all the way through ideation, functional design, construction and user acceptance testing.
Are you concerned about an implementation's effectiveness, seeing increasing complaints, or frustrated with ongoing expense (or perhaps with the number of consultants required to maintain it)? AGSI can analyze a specific function alongside the solution, do a fit gap analysis and provide a remediation plan.
For companies that have grown through acquisition or have built their own platforms ad hoc over time, platform and/or application duplication usually results, causing major inefficiencies. If you have multiple platforms and applications across business units, AGSI can perform a rationalization that pinpoints where you can consolidate most effectively and shed cost.

Talk to us about your business goals so that we can determine together how to most effectively help you reach them.
