Software & Professional Services

Building an effective capability to develop complex software products and to deliver implementations with accompanying professional services is not easy. Making a profit in the long term from these activities requires an attention to detail and a commercial discipline which many businesses find difficult.

Are your processes up to the task in hand?
Have you built an effective sales opportunity screening process - so that you only invest precious resources on the opportunities that you have a good probability of winning and which your business can deliver profitably.
Do you often find your development resource being side-tracked to implement features required by the next big project - all at the expense of your product release calendar.

How effective are your processes? Do you keep finding that the profit on a project is eroded because of unforeseen requirements changes - things that you could have charged for if your team had spotted them before the contracts were signed?

Do you find your contractual position is weakened by businesses to whom you are sub-contracted but who give away your time and delivery capability through a lack of skill or a lack of knowledge. Gaps that, no matter how hard you try, you just cannot seem to close.
