A Software Assessment is a thorough discovery, analysis and recommendations related to all software considered “Line of Business” applications. This is the first step in the process of evaluating the challenges an organization is experiencing related to the operational systems it relies on to conduct business. Components of a Software Assessment:
Black Line is the most valuable to our Clients when we thoroughly understand the technical situation the Client is faced with. Making recommendations without the details does a disservice to the Client and violates our value system. This effort also provides the sales team and Engineering team to properly sort through the findings and organize results in a way understandable to the Business Leader. Communicating solutions at a business level provides a level of comfort that they are not being sold or talked over. Another value of Black Line is to communicate with respect and avoid techno-speak
If servers, or server related, technologies are not available the modern organization cannot function. Regardless if the server technologies are on-premise, cloud-based or virtual. As the name implies, Server technologies “serve” data, features, secure, and organize the digital assets of an organization.
Underperforming software solutions, data accuracy issues, quality problems. inability to access data, security concerns, systems that dont scale, frustration of end-users with systems
Most Clients want to know what they do not know. A Software Assessment provides them this very valuable information. Its also an opportunity to educate the Business Leader on the merits of various best practices and why they are important to their organization. In addition, it may validate the experiences they have now (or in the past), related to their line of business systems and provide logical reasons.
Business Leaders make good decisions when armed with information that makes sense, has evidence and is aligned with experience and business needs
Black Line has an established inventory of best practices organized in a thorough way to leave no stone unturned. If competitors even offer this solution its usually “off-the cuff” process that lacks standardization and structure. In addition, Black Line has been providing software solutions for decades (almost 40 years) and has a deep history and knowledge of what to look for and where risks lie
