Because geography is no longer a barrier for you -- or your competitors --
to compete worldwide, ensuring customer loyalty and satisfaction have
become even more important. Equally important is ensuring that you select
the right business partners and strategic alliances. Your strategy also
must use effective internal communications and shared resources to support
your extended operations. By developing and exploring various scenarios, TAS
will help you understand where your efforts are best spent and what
actions you need to take to be a winner. TAS will help identify who your
competitors are today, and who they are likely to be tomorrow, creating a
context for success.
TAS provides an independent assessment of an organization's plan,
operation, or implementation of technology. These assessments are
evaluated in conjunction with existing business and information services
plans and projects. Recommendations are focused at enterprise-wide
implementation of information services. TAS also coordinates with other PBD
resources around the world to leverage their experience and knowledge.
Business and Technology Architectures
TAS complements an existing organization and works with both line of
business and IT executive management to optimize your investment in
technology. TAS will identify gaps in services provided by current IT
systems in meeting business expectations, thereby forming a basis for
strategic planning. TAS provides a strategic review of your business and
technical architectures. This review ensures that these architectures are
suitable for fulfilling enterprise business objectives.
In addition, TAS identifies opportunities enabled by technology for new
processes, channels, and markets. These services identify, in
non-technical and managerial terms, essential issues for board and
management members from an independent perspective.
Electronic Commerce Frameworks
Electronic commerce is expanding well beyond the traditional forms of EDI
and EFTS. The rapid growth of the Internet is turning electronic commerce
into one of the mainstays of business by allowing companies to provide a
variety of products and services to a large and diverse audience. TAS provides insights on how to exploit the Internet and related technologies
in an organization. Through analysis of specific business objectives, TAS provides a framework for assessing technical alternatives and deployment
strategies as well as a detailed analysis of the competition.
Strategic Network Frameworks
Evolving business strategies require including customers and trading
partners in a company's communications framework. Larger and more complex
networks are required to manage the global incorporation of voice, data,
images, and video. In addition, the expanded capabilities offered by
telephone, cable, and wireless providers are making networking decisions
even more confusing. Comprehensive planning is the key to developing a
cost-effective solution. TAS provides a strategic view of the integration,
growth, and management of this critical technology. Our analysis and
recommendations are based upon a combination of experience, insights, and
our evaluation of a wide range of emerging technologies.
Technology Due Diligence
Technology plays a key role in many business mergers and acquisitions.
Effective due diligence activities must encompass a company's information
technology assets because the ability to gain the rights to its
technologies can help determine its ultimate value. Understanding a
potential partner's technologies can be an essential part of evaluating a
particular transaction. Even in merger and acquisition transactions not
based on acquiring technology, understanding a company's competencies and
capabilities is critical. Technology due diligence is equally essential to
companies that are users of technology and those that develop technology. TAS
helps you understand and properly evaluate the technology component of
a planned transaction.
