Our IT consulting services help drive competitive advantage and generate bottom-line results. We help businesses identify and prioritize their available options, and to select those that maximize return on investment (ROI), while being mindful of the potential impact a solution may have on future business operation or growth. Some of the IT consulting services that we provide include:

• Enterprise-wide IT strategy

• Business process analysis and reengineering
• RFP development/process management and infrastructure procurement
• Integrated, research-based Internet marketing strategy

Through our IT consulting services, we are able to deliver value to our clients by:

Creating an executable roadmap to cost-efficiency

As companies have grown, many have amassed a number of disparate hardware platforms, operating systems, legacy systems, database management systems, commercial software packages, and custom applications. The result is an overly complex and difficult to manage infrastructure that does not benefit from economies of scale. We believe that companies need to take a more enterprise-wide approach to business strategy and technology—one that also reduces operating and maintenance costs, thereby accelerating business performance—by integrating and aligning disparate business processes, people and information systems.

Accelerating transformation and future growth

We have a long history of helping senior executives navigate the difficult IT choices they face by articulating their problems and potential technical solutions in understandable business terms, by validating and prioritizing potential solutions (e.g., in terms of cost, impact on operations, ROI), and by clearly and concisely outlining the recommended next steps. By engaging our consulting team, we help transform organizations from reactive enterprises whose growth is unnecessarily constrained by its IT infrastructure, to proactive, agile, business-focused industry leaders.

Going beyond the here and now

The value of our consulting services lies in our ability to not simply fix what our clients already know is wrong, but to perform a detailed analysis of their business to identify areas of inefficiency and reduced effectiveness within existing systems and processes. Our consulting team is often able to identify opportunities for new and innovative web-based systems, and to make recommendations that result in a more streamlined infrastructure, reduced licensing costs, and overall improved scalability. This enterprise-wide approach helps ensure that IT investments are able to meet long-term business and organizational goals.

Closing the business-technology loop

Occasionally, technical or business recommendations may be made that are outside the scope of zed’s primary services. Drawing upon our experience and our established partnerships, we are often able to engage partner consultants with the necessary capabilities to assist in effectively meeting all of a client’s IT needs. These strategic partnerships reduce the need for our clients to locate additional suppliers with whom they may not be familiar, thereby reducing project risk, and saving both time and precious financial resources.
