Spirit Consulting - Computer Consulting Firm

Spirit Consulting - Computer Consulting Firm

Consulting Services offered by Spirit Consulting focus on evaluating existing and/or planned business processes and systems in order to provide recommendations for improved efficiency through the use of automation.

The automation alternatives to support a business process can be enormous. The wide array of computer related products and services available on the market today is extensive. The ongoing evolution of these products along with the constant introduction of new technologies and services further complicates decision making.

In addition to the vast number of technologies and services available, the knowledge and interests of the personnel involved with the decision making, both business and technical, also have a significant impact on the options pursued. It is not uncommon that the agenda of the personnel involved, whether they be internal to the company or externally engaged, often dictate a strategy that is in their own best interests, rather than the best interests of the organization.

Spirit Consulting's goal is to provide an objective viewpoint intended to define an optimum solution that is appropriate to satisfy the objectives of the business, without allegiance to a specific product and/or service. Our approach is straightforward and direct, with the initial emphasis on understanding the business and then quickly gaining indepth knowledge of the current and/or planned systems, technologies and infrastructures involved.

Although we recognize the importance of strategic planning and provide recommendations in this area, we are primarily focused on strategies that will make an immediate impact, cost effectively. Our philosophy differs somewhat from the "Big Six" type of consulting, which often discourages quick turnaround departmental solutions and focuses on large scale, enterprise-wide deployment that typically possesses a high dollar cost. In our opinion, long term, large scale projects often do not fully come to fruition because of significant time lapse. In today's world, common occurrences such as economic change, company reorganization, budget constraints, and merger and/or acquisition can all adversely impact the plans and costs of a large scale project.

Outcome from our consulting service frequently recommends a change in the business process and/or modifications to functionality contained within existing systems or functionality planned in future systems or enhancements. In those situations whereby our analysis determines the need for follow-on development, Spirit Consulting maintains relationships with a diverse group of technologists in order to provide the appropriate application development support.
