Application Advisory - Acquire Phase Services
The decisions you make during the Acquire phase determine, to a large extent, the degree of the success of your business application adoption program.
Our Acquire phase services help you clarify vision, prepare your organization, and select the most suitable products and partners.
Organizations choose to implement business applications to exploit market opportunities, gain competitive advantage, meet statutory requirements, or satisfy customer mandates.
A clear understanding of the business needs, goals, and the expected business outcomes are essential to:
-
Establish business objectives and success criteria
-
Select the right product and partner
-
Drive decision making during implementation
-
Adapt to business environment changes quickly
We help you articulate and document your program's vision statement, including the key goals and outcomes, associated KPIs, and the process to monitor these during the entire application lifecycle.

Business Goals and Outcomes

Implementation of a Business Application invariably impacts the organization's way of working.
Due to the integrated nature of business applications, end-to-end business process mapping is crucial to success. Incorrect or incomplete assessment during the Aquire phase leads to selecting a sub-optimal business application.
We use our business analysis expertise to analyze and document your high-level business processes so that you can:
-
Benchmark current state of business
-
Assess your organization's readiness for the business application implementation
-
Establish and communicate your requirements to all stakeholders - internal and external
-
Evaluate products and partners
Business Process Analysis
A business application can genuinely be an engine for business growth. But if you are not prepared for the inevitable change it brings in its wake, it can be a costly and time-consuming exercise.
Most organizations rely on partners for help. However, partners have different objectives, are typically more focused on the technology aspects, and often lack the necessary skills.
Our Readiness Assessment helps you
-
Appraise your organization's current state in the context of your vision and goals for the business application.
-
Discover readiness gaps in critical areas with a structured multi-dimensional analysis - culture, resources, systems, data, and processes.
-
Adapt your implementation approach and schedule to enable a successful implementation.

-
Document and communicate your requirements to all vendors, clearly and consistently.
