Specification and Procurement of IT Systems

Poorly specified and implemented IT systems can cripple a business. How can you ensure you get an effective system? How do you keep up to date with suppliers and technology?

Once an organisation has identified a requirement for a new piece of technology there is a need to purchase and implement it effectively.

There is a huge amount of information available, but how do you sort through the maze of fact and fiction?

• Software providers tell you their software is the best and it can meet all of your businesses requirements.
• Hardware providers advise that their hardware is the most robust and future proof and has the lowest total cost of ownership.
• You are told that the project will be on time and within budget.

The fact is most IT implementations run over budget and time and don't achieve the planned process outcomes

Using a reliable organisation with experience in this area represents significant value by ensuring that you get the project outcomes that you planned.

Bypass Solutions works with the implementation of new technology, particularly Hand Held Computers and ERP System Technologies.

We can provide unbiased advice to:

• Review the business needs and benefits associated with new technology.
• Review the suppliers and technology available to meet your requirements and rank them across relevant criteria.
• Prepare specifications for the procurement of IT systems.
• Lead the procurement process from specification, calling for submissions, assessment, negotiation and awarding the contracts.
• Project Manage the implementation of the new system.

Our approach is based on identifying and achieving the business improvement associated with any introduction of new technology.  We do not recommend or support the implementation of technology for technology's sake.  There must be a real tangible benefit.
