Information Management Program Development
Development of a holistic program for the strategic alignment of tactical data projects or an integration of existing legacy data management programs like Business Intelligence, Data Governance and Quality, SOA or EAI in competency centers in the EIM model. We begin with an information needs assessment followed by a roadmap and program plan in the IUI Incremental Approach.
Program / Center of Excellence Development
Development of programs, typically in the form of competency centers for Business Intelligence or Data Governance and Quality capabilities. This includes all aspects of the program including budget to methodology to quality assurance.
Meeting Information Needs – Best practice EIM/BI Solutions
The value of information isn't realized until it is used. IUI's history is building large scale information management solutions to provide access to integrated, accurate, timely and actionable data. Whether it is an enterprise data warehouse, departmental data mart, master data set, meta data repository, data quality assessment or any other information solution – IUI has the experience to do it right the first time.
Information Management Hosting
IUI offers customized SaaS hosted solutions for business intelligence and data quality projects. Organizations avoid the large initial capital expense of hardware and licenses to build a solution by using a subscription-based approach. Organizations may choose to move solutions in house once the value proposition is proven. The hosting solution offers both onsite and offsite hosting options.
Program Assessment
Assess existing IM programs against industry best practices for programs not living up to potential or promise. A ranked set of gaps is produced as part of the assessment along with specific recommendations for improvement.
Information Management Staffing
IUI can augment your team with our consultants or find direct-hire staff to assist with the execution of your existing strategy. IUI's vetting process includes experienced practitioners to ensure only qualified candidates are presented rather than the shotgun approach used by many staffing companies.
Offsite Onshore / Offshore Development
IUI offers an offsite development option that includes both an onshore and offshore component. IUI is able to reduce the price of development by using onshore development centers in less urban areas of the country. Onshoring avoids many of the data security concerns of offshoring while still offering a significant price reduction. A further reduction in cost may be achieved with an offshore component based upon the requirements of the project.
RFP Development / Proposal Assessment
IUI offers services to develop an RFP and then manage the proposal selection process. This service is often used for the technology selection process where an organization needs assistance defining requirements in terms of an EIM/BI program being established.
