Technology Strategy

Strategic planning is a management process for evaluating your current business, determining your strategic direction, and laying out a roadmap of strategic initiatives. A strategic plan explains why an organization exists, what it intends to accomplish, and the tactics it will take to achieve its goals and objectives.

Approach to Strategy Consulting

Softpert’s approach is collaborative and backed by a team with key leaders within the client’s organization, and developing the business strategy in five main phases.

  • Assessment: Reaffirm the organization’s mission, vision, and values, establishing a strategic context. Softpert’s strategy consultants evaluate the client’s situation including internal factors (financial, operational, products, customers, and supply chain) and external factors (market, industry, competition)  opportunities, and threats.

  • Formulation: Softpert consultants collaborate with the team to formulate the strategic vision, value proposition, competitive differentiation, and strategic alternatives (e.g. develop a capability vs. make an acquisition). This phase includes development of the high level “strategic story,” a strategic narrative that is powerful, compelling, and easy to remember.

  • Specification: Softpert strategy consultants now develop the strategy in more detail in terms of objectives, a three to five year road map, and key metrics.

  • Planning: At this stage, the strategy is fleshed out in terms of strategic growth initiatives along with detailed plans for each functional area. In this phase, we also build the business case and along with budgetary requests (operational and capital).

  • Execution: Carrying out the strategic plan includes assigning responsibility for each initiative, program/project management, and organizational change management.

Many business strategy projects are long on planning but short on action. Our management consulting methodology remedies this in the assessment phase by identifying the three to five most critical issues and expediting them directly into execution. This allows quick development of executable action plans in parallel with the rest of the business planning process to develop the growth initiatives. This approach delivers faster results and surfaces any potential issues that the organization has in execution.

Technology Evaluation

Enterprise systems such as ERP, customer relationship management (CRM), supply chain management (SCM), and human capital management (HCM) have promised great benefits. In fact, business software has become a necessary foundation for organizations in nearly every industry sector and every size.

  • Evaluating implementation consultants as well as software vendors. Too many software projects fail, not because the customer chooses the wrong system but because the implementation consulting firm is not qualified. Our vendor introduction and reference-checking phases ensure that you not only have the right system, but the right system implementation consultants as well.

  • Absolute and total independence. Because we do not sell software or “partner” with any technology vendors for implementation services, our software selection consultants have the independence and objectivity necessary to give unbiased advice. We sit on your side of the table only.

Developer Operations (DevOps)

Businesses today must move at the speed of digital. Traditional software development often can’t keep up. DevOps helps companies accelerate software development and improve software quality. In the past, software was often “thrown over the wall” to infrastructure and operations for deployment and support. Resolving issues required numerous rounds of iterations between multiple groups. With DevOps, software developers, infrastructure administrators, quality assurance and operations professionals collaborate early and often to anticipate potential problems and proactively incorporate feedback throughout the development cycle using an Enterprise DevOps Platform.

Softpert has extensive experience in DevOps and leverages this expertise to provide customers with comprehensive DevOps services spanning strategy, planning, execution and managed services. Leveraging our DevOps Assessment Framework, Softpert delivers strategies and solutions that help clients maximize the benefits of their DevOps investment.
