The arrival of a new CEO
and CFO of this rapidly growing company quickly led to the realization that
existing information systems were inadequate to the task of supporting the
current business, not to mention where planned growth would take the
company. We were asked to provide assistance to: |

assess the "as is" state of
information technology, including: |

define the gap between the "as
is" state and the envisioned state |
|

The resulting

selection of an enterprise package solution, re-engineering of key business
processes, implementation of a user help desk, development of a disaster
contingency plan and the identification of an impending network bottleneck. |
