Advise

The Advise phase of our AIM approach is designed to ensure that the right solutions and services are put in place and that the solution can be measured for success against the business and IT objectives of the project.

Usually the first step of this will be to hold a Target Workshop, at which all key interested parties will be represented, including business sponsors, IT, and specific interested third parties. The purpose of the workshop is to validate the perceived benefits of the project and to ensure that there is a shared understanding of objectives. Often at the Target Workshop a number of high level options for the solution will also be discussed.

For larger projects, the next stage in the Advise phase will be a detailed definition and it will necessary to assess detailed business and technical requirements, along with technical options, defining the Microsoft solution set most appropriate for the project and assessing migration and integration requirements. This stage may also include prototypes and/or a proof of concept activity, particularly where the visual aspect of a solution is key, such as a Portal or e-Business solution.

Once all interested parties are in agreement with Northdoor’s recommendations we progress to the Implement phase.
