Why Choose an Independent Advisor?
The biennial CHAOS Report from a Boston research firm, the Standish Group, is a respected resource for gauging how well organizations achieve their IT project goals. The company’s last report concluded that a dismal 65 percent of all IT projects run over deadline or budget, or fail to meet user requirements.
The Standish Group conservatively estimates that 20 percent of all project funds are wasted because organizations fail to develop a consistent approach to project management. In fact, poor project management is usually cited as the chief factor contributing to IT project failures. Too often organizations lack sufficient in-house expertise about technologies, operations and processes. And, as the rate of technology change continues to accelerate, organizations find it increasingly difficult to monitor technology trends and make smart purchasing decisions.
Hiring an outside advisor like NYSTEC — one with a long history of success in project management, technology analysis, and the acquisition of large-scale systems — enables an organization to spend its technology budget more wisely. A trusted advisor can ensure that new systems actually improve operational efficiency, are implemented on time, and achieve real cost savings within a reasonable period.
Most organizations would never rely on in-house staff exclusively to construct a new office building, yet they often go it alone when making technology investments that are just as costly. In today’s fast-changing technology marketplace, it makes good business sense to tap an experienced and reliable collaborator like NYSTEC that can help guide the organization through a successful technology acquisition and implementation.
At NYSTEC, project management is our specialty. We use proven processes to assess our clients’ needs and help them acquire the best, most cost-effective solutions. We stay on top of technology trends and help manage projects from early planning right through final implementation.
