ITSP Services.
To compete successfully in any market in today's economy, a business organization must employ technical solutions that enable its constituents to efficiently and effectively accomplish mission-critical tasks. Nowhere is this more true then in the government sector, mortgage, banking, legal and healthcare industries, where ever-increasing demands for streamlined business processes, shrinking margins, rising employment costs, and the proliferation of government regulations have stretched the IT capabilities of market participants to the breaking point. This stress leads to breakdowns in communications between the organization's business leaders and its IT staff, resulting in inefficiency, discord, and mistrust. Clearly, organizations which are committed to success cannot tolerate these indicia of failure.
Information Technology Software Professionals (ITSP) believes that the disconnect between the multitude of business needs for technology and the confusing maze of product offerings may only be solved by instituting key strategic initiatives to align the organization's IT processes with the goals and objectives of the business. Because ITSP has developed best in class processes for delivering information technology services to governmental organizations and various verticals and industries, ITSP has acquired an intimate understanding of the industry such that it is uniquely positioned to also assist its clientele in the customization and implementation of these initiatives.
ITSP is pleased to offer its consulting services to enable organizations to institute these key strategic initiatives:
IT Vision Realignment.
ITSP believes that all IT efforts must be sub-processes of the organization's mission-critical workflow. Therefore, the organization's IT group must develop an overall Vision that aligns itself with the organization's Mission. Our consultants apply their experience and expertise to assist the senior managers of the organization and their IT groups to review the Vision and make such revisions as are necessary to effect a proper alignment with the organization's Mission.
IT Organization Restructuring.
After the IT group's Vision is realigned to meet the demands of the organization's Mission, ITSP consultants work with the senior managers of the organization and its IT group to make any changes that are necessary to replicate the organizational structures of the "best in class" IT groups in their respective verticals and industries.
System Development Life Cycle.
When organizations unsuccessfully attempt to either develop software applications on their own or to manage the development of custom applications by others, a consistent theme is the lack of adherence to a formalized System Development Life Cycle (SDLC). Failures ranging from insufficient product specifications to a lack of enhancement request tracking are all symptoms of this systemic problem. To eliminate these failures, ITSP consultants work with the organization to develop a software development methodology that enables the organization to automate incremental development, versioning and testing of the whole software product, including use cases, code, test scripts, and user documentation.
This Cycle is best described in graphic form as follows:
The end results of this process are:
 Highest industry quality standards.
Transparent and reproducible processes.
Hands-on customer control Project delivery on time and within budget.
Change Management.
A cornerstone in the ITSP's philosophy is our belief in the value and necessity of change management. Studies have shown that as much as 80% of technology-related issues in organizations arise out of the improper change procedures employed by the IT group. To eliminate these issues, ITSP has developed a disciplined change management workflow that includes the identification of roles and responsibilities for participants and the implementation of checklists and formal review procedures for steps in the change process. ITSP consultants work with the members of the IT group to implement this regimen and to ensure its continued success by deploying software to support the change management process and by facilitating the activities of the organization's Change Committee.
Software Consulting.
Thanks to its wide-ranging clientele both private and public, ITSP consultants are experienced in working with a significant number of industry specific software applications. ITSP applies this knowledge for the benefit of its clients when they are faced with choosing among competing software applications to meet specific business requirements. Since ITSP is not a value-added reseller for any specific third-party software applications, our clients can trust our consultants' independent judgment and advice when making software purchases to support their business.
