Avalon's experience has shown us that the most successful projects begin with a business plan that identifies the objectives and clearly lays out the metrics for success. To facilitate this, Avalon has created a series of formal, fixed-price, Assessment offerings. Each Assessment is a rapid but powerful process that includes identifying key stakeholders, developing an overarching strategy and laying out a realistic plan that identifies the right technology to support your business objectives.
Working with your organizations and users, we identify and define the functional requirements, use cases and workflows required for a successful solution. While the deliverables of an Assessment are tailored to best meet the unique needs of each client, an Assessment is often followed by the architecting of a rapid prototype or pilot that provides a window into how the solution will fit into your current infrastructure. We then work closely with you to lay out implementation approaches that integrate internal and external services like social networking, SaaS services or even custom and legacy software. The goal is to mitigate your risk and prove out the approach given the nuances of your organization.
Our Assessments also address how to engage users and manage the change that comes with introducing new ways of collaborating and accessing information. We help you build a plan that avoids alienating users and one that ensures the solution will scale with your organization.
Avalon currently offers formal, fixed price assessments for e-Learning, Enterprise Search and BPM. An Assessment for ECM is currently in the works. Contact us if you are interested in being a pilot customer for our ECM Assessments.
