"Our Situation Assessment was a good starting point for us. We had invested in a Business Intelligence technology and had started to deliver in some key areas, but had Simpson Associates assess our existing architecture, guide us through our prioritisation and assist us in mentoring our Management Information team."
A MySituation activity can mean a review of any current implementation of IBM Cognos. We tailor each Situation Assessment to fit the challenges and needs of each organisation; we can agree terms of reference for YOUR situation.
During this process, our consultants will draw on their considerable experience to offer advice on the performance of your applications and identify areas for improvement to increase the efficiency, productivity and impact of your Information Management solution.
The objectives of a MySituation activity can be as follows:
- Review developments and achievements to date;
- Review how applications are currently being used;
- Review current requirements analysis processes;
- Review development processes that are in use;
- Review Cognos 7/8 infrastructure and installations;
- Understand short term development needs;
- Recommend approaches to training and knowledge transfer;
- Recommend the most efficient and effective way that Simpson Associates can support you.
As part of this activity, Simpson Associates can:
