Consulting Services
When your technology is hard to make sense of, or a project needs more or deeper skills than you have in house, Savitas consulting helps you find the best way forward.
Our business analysts work through your specific needs with you. From those discussions, and our own experience, we identify potential solutions and organize them for return on investment (ROI) analysis. Whichever solution you choose, Savitas has the resources to deliver it.
A typical engagement starts when the factors to address are known and some options have been identified, but you need an expert opinion to choose between them. For example, a company looking to cut costs, run more efficiently or serve customers better might consider a paperless office. Savitas can carry out the ROI analysis and, if the project goes ahead, implement it using our document management expertise.
We offer two types of consulting: strategic and tactical.
Strategic consulting
Strategic consulting gives your organization guidance on strategy and policy, IT governance, compliance and other critical business needs. We look at every relevant factor and turn that analysis into a strategic plan.
A key step is moving from strategy to execution: we build a master schedule for the program and a plan for each project. Once implementation begins, our tactical consulting can work through the milestones quickly.
Strategic consulting fits well when a business is going through a significant change, such as opening, expanding or divesting. We start with your business goals and how technology can set you apart from competitors. We then develop, analyze and rank a list of opportunities, and prepare a short list of those with the best expected ROI, with an execution plan that fits your budget and schedule.
Tactical consulting
Tactical consulting carries out the individual parts of a strategic plan. Each engagement focuses on one part of a larger project, and a strategic plan may use several. Examples include:
Internet for a new or remote office
We work with every party involved to get the connection in on time and on budget, and can monitor it afterward to keep uptime as high as possible.
SQL Server performance analysis and tuning
SQL Server needs a properly designed and configured system and correct ongoing maintenance, or problems follow. We analyze performance, capacity and, where needed, compliance, and report on what is working and what needs improvement.
SQL Server disaster recovery
SQL Server needs a backup and recovery plan with defined recovery point objectives (RPO) and recovery time objectives (RTO). Without one, you can end up with an unusable database and no backup to restore. Using specialized techniques, we can often recover a working database from what remains.
Cloud migration
We analyze your current systems, design a cloud or hybrid solution and move your systems from local machines to the cloud. Migrations often open up new ways to use your information. Moving documents to the cloud with a workflow solution, for instance, makes them available to any employee, at any time.
