Forensics
Our Experience and Unique
Perspectives
Our experts bring over 20 years of hands-on
experience managing transformations from
multiple perspectives and roles-- as clients, as
consultants and as forensics experts:
As clients, we have gained an understanding
of the internal corporate pressures and
challenges of such business transformations
including adapting to COTS-based solutions
from highly customized internal legacy
solutions.
As consultants, we have experienced and
successfully managed the often conflicting
requirements arising from the contractual
arrangements with the clients, the client's
sometimes excessive expectations of the
consulting organization's services, the
constraints imposed by the COTS product
functionality and their vendors’ support and
development organizations, and the internal
business drivers of a consulting organization.
As forensics experts, analyzing failed
implementations, we have gained a unique
insight on the root causes for systems and
program failures. We have learned to identify
the key patterns and anti-patterns (the lack of
specific patterns) required for the success of
large systems implementations.
