IIS provides technology consulting services to its clients on both fixed-price and time & materials (T&M) bases. IIS offers the following technology consulting services: - Needs Assessment engagements to define projects and realistic phases - Project Evaluation engagements to determine technological and time/cost feasibility - Technology Resource engagements to complete existing projects - Training engagements to educate on today's pertinent technologies and platforms When provided in conjunction with our system design and integration services, IIS consulting includes ongoing knowledge transfer, detailed documentation, and formal training. At IIS, we pride ourselves on providing clear, accurate and highly detailed documentation. Depending on the engagement, documentation may include: - Project Assessment and Evaluation Documents - Project Analysis and Design Documents - Project Plans - Component Specifications - Unit, System, and Acceptance Test Plans - System Administration and Deployment Guides - User's Guides Thorough documentation, along with training and other knowledge transfer activities, allow our clients to be secure, stay on plan, and remain in control of their projects. This level of thoroughness facilitates active discussion and uncovers issues that otherwise may not surface until late in the project. Recognition of these issues early in the project lifecycle prevents costly change orders, as are unfortunately synonymous with many other consulting companies.
