IT Consulting Services

When consulting is done right, it’s as simple and efficient as two people in a conference room drawing on a white board. And that’s how we do consulting. Veteran IT and business experts ask you straightforward, jargon-free questions to get to the root of your business goals and problems.

Then we use proven, no-nonsense methodologies to assess risks, identify gaps in accounting, operations, human resources, inventory and other performance data.

Finally, we map out solutions to:

• Boost efficiency
• Increase ROI
• Evaluate IT spend
• Reduce Total Cost of Ownership
• Communicate value effectively

Our capabilities range from a simple project assessment to an overall strategic roadmap that aligns company business goals with technology implementation … In the end, you get real results that blow away the competition and keep IT at the strategy table.

IT Advisory Services Offerings

1. Project Management

   The Jelecos Project Office delivers results through years of continuous process improvement and a relentless focus on business outcomes.  We work closely with your project stakeholders to keep things on track and provide the advantage your business needs. Best practices, risk management, team communications...we have you covered.

2. Assessments

   A fresh perspective can generate ideas, improve outcomes and help you navigate around potential pitfalls.  We know the feeling...you know you need to be doing more....or more with less, but you don't know where to start.  Are you spending money in the right places?   What are your competitors doing?  Are you getting what you paid for from your existing technology investments? Through extensive experience and access to important benchmark data, we can answer those questions and more. Get in front of your competitors, deliver more value to your customers.  Objective-based and risk-based assessments are the perfect starting points to take you to the next level.

3. Advisory

   One of the biggest mistakes we see companies make is not bringing IT to the table soon enough.  The result: IT is a cost center rather than what it should be; an engine for innovation and a clear contributor to the bottom line.  IT decisions need to be driven by business objectives.  You need to ask yourself, are you just running IT to keep the lights on, or are you leveraging technology to its fullest extent?   We can help you deliver value by  participation in steering committees, assisting in a project justification and ROI discussion at the executive and board level, or just as a sounding board.  We have plenty of experience across a lot of different industries. Remember, you don't know what you don't know. Get IT and the business aligned...the results are significant.

4. Spend Analysis

   So....if we asked you today if you knew what impact on the business each IT dollar contributes, what would you say?  We've actually heard executives describe their IT spend as "shoveling $100 dollar bills into the boiler"....true story.  Another common one is "the black box".   Don't let a lack of technical knowledge get in the way of understanding what you're getting for your money. You don't need to know the 1's and 0's, or what the blinking lights are for.  You need to know what IT is doing for your business. Clear ROI understanding, right-sizing IT spend and industry benchmarking are powerful ways to get where you're going.  Faster.

5. Architecture

   In our experience, really good software and system architects are difficult to find.  Sure, there are plenty out there that have the technical know-how.  But layer in the business knowledge, risk mitigation, total cost of ownership, end user adoption and capacity planning and you have a real rock star - and we happen to have more than a few that can help you out.  Our job is to make you look good - now, and three years from now.
