Individuals and companies who rely heavily on software to operate their business frequently arrive at a point when their software is not meeting their needs. Some of the companies know exactly the problem and solution but do not have the time or experience to make it happen; others know the problem but cannot articulate the problem well enough to those who can solve it; and others only know they have a problem but do not know what it is, much less, how to solve it. C.A.K.E. Consulting Services help these companies, and in some cases software providers, through all of these scenarios.
Our consulting services range from helping a company identify and document their problem so it can be evaluated for potential solutions, to selecting a solution provider and overseeing the implementation of the solution. These services are offered independent of one another. We may need to complete only the analysis and prepare for you a clearly defined problem statement that you can use to carry yourself forward.
Extensive analysis of our client's existing software, including how it is intended to be used and how it is being used, with a focus on verifying or redefining what the client has described as the problem.
Detailed summary of findings and a clearly defined opportunity statement that makes sense to the business and potential solution provider.
Facilitation of the solutioning process, and to the extent possible and/or when warranted, presentation of solutions that are agnostic to a specific software solution, so that our client is not limited in options.
Consultation on selecting a solution and overseeing the implementation of that solution. Most critical is helping to guide the client through the implementation process to avoid common mistakes, proactively identify and mitigate risks, and make informed decisions.
