Consulting

With an ever increasing demand for reduction of operational costs, risk management and measurement of IT investments, the emphasis on IT planning to deliver business benefits is continuously growing. It also calls for adaptable IT architectures as well as proven service delivery mechanisms.

ISC bridges the gap between the client’s business objectives and increasingly complex technology options. Our Consultants addresses the challenges facing clients in navigating the myriad of technology alternatives in order to formulate strategies and plan for solutions that align technology and business goals.

Project Management

At ISC, we understand and appreciate the depth of projects and what it takes to manage them successfully. Given our professionally certified project managers with real-world experience, we know that we can take you from where you are to where you want to be! Our experience—not only because of our background in project management and business operations, but also in technology—allows us to solve IT problems faster without wasting project resources.

A project is a temporary endeavor undertaken to create a unique product or service. Each product or service created is different in some distinguishing way from all similar products or services.

There are many different types of projects depending on the industry and scope of activities. Some examples include:

• E-Business / Electronic Marketplace implementation

• Data Warehouse / BI development and implementation

• Developing a new IT product or service,

• Procurement, installation and commissioning of IT infrastructures such as Data Centres, Distribution Centres, Office Complexes, etc.

• Outsource Contract Implementation (Transition)

• Migration from NT4 to Active Directory, etc.

ISC believes that projects should arise from a preceding strategic planning process that underpins the need for a business application. Each project arising from this strategic exercise should be justified by a business case demonstrating the envisaged value-add to be contributed by the new application. A clear link should exist between the business case and the project charter that governs the project. During execution, ISC project managers use knowledge, skills, tools, and techniques to meet or exceed stakeholder needs and expectations from a project. We balance competing demands, including scope, time, cost, quality, and stakeholders with differing needs and expectations, to clients' maximum benefit.

Project Management is much more than just scheduling. It involves balancing many different components, which Project Managers refer to as knowledge areas, namely:

1. Integration Management

2. Scope Management

3. Time Management

4. Cost Management

5. Quality Management

6. Human Resource Management

7. Communication Management

8. Risk Management, and

9. Procurement Management.

Our experience includes the following Methodologies and Quality Standards:

• PMBOK

• APL

• PRINCE2

• MENTOR

• GATES

• ITIL

• ISO9000.
