TrustButVerify™ Technical Assets Verification Services

Your prospective and current capital investment partners and other stakeholders understand that there are inherent risks that need to be mitigated and key assets to be protected. Often capital and investment partners want to know that technical details are being handled properly. They don't want to just take someone's word for it. They want verification.

Utilize our TrustButVerify™ services. We act as an independent, third-party partner to achieve the verification goals you need: 1. Identify risks and issues in your technology infrastructure. 2. Work with your technology staff to help them become part of the solution. 3. Provide an independent opinion that your partners can rely on.

Time to clean up? It's a common state of affairs for a business like yours under time and resource constraints to see your technology infrastructure become a bit rough around the edges. Tradeoffs are made but then subsequently they are no longer quantified and understood. Commonly, issues can go unnoticed and unaddressed until they become increasingly difficult to manage.

Your current technology staff is busy with operations and development. Why not use our services to evaluate and address some of the tough, outstanding technical issues that are haunting your business? Contact us.

Proper Stewards Mission Statement Training

Your technology staff are important to your enterprise and are worth an investment. If there is a gap in objectives or communication between you and your technology staff, liabilities can be created. Use our training to bridge the objectives and communication gap that is common between business and technology personnel.

We train your staff to focus on demonstrating that they are proper stewards over your technology assets who identify and mitigate risks and take the resources given to expand those assets.

It is common in the business world at large for technology staff to stray from business objectives. Some technical staff make choices about which technologies to use based on their personal preference rather than calculated business tradeoffs. Some technology staff seek to find a reason to adopt Web Services, XML or some parallel technology just to put a feather in their cap and will tell you it's needed. Only after intense scrutiny might they concede that a different approach will do.

It's not unheard of for technology staff to take advantage of the communication gap between business and technology. They understand that business decision-makers do not always understand technology enough to direct and counter their decisions. The result can be that technology staff stray from your objectives and only appear at the surface to be on track.

At the end of the day, you want your technology staff to know that you trust them. But that trust needs to be earned and maintained. We help turn your "marginally incentivized employees" into "stakeholders" by training them to take on their most important role: A proper steward over the company technical assets. Contact us.

Technology Project Evaluation Services

A certain level of technical expertise is required to truly understand the risks, tradeoffs and rewards of a technology-intensive project. Would you like to augment your technical expertise to evaluate a project? Partner with us.

We will help you evaluate the scope of the project. We will help you identify the technical hurdles in the way of getting from point A to point B. We will help you put together a timeline and a proposal. We will help you use your current technical staff to support the project and help stay on time and on budget.

Even if you feel that you have a fairly firm grasp on the technical aspects of the project, it is still commonly useful to get a second opinion that can help you identify nuances and missing pieces. Also, other stakeholders and staff are often more willing to step up to the plate when they are aware of your formal engagement with us for project evaluation. Contact us.
