 Systems IntegrationCurrent News
 


It is estimated that 65% of the country's Fortune 500 companies have strategic plans to acquire another company this year. This trend, of course, is not restricted to Fortune 500 companies. Acquisitions, mergers, and department/division consolidations are occurring across the spectrum of businesses. A primary cost benefit expectation from these transactions is effective and efficient integration of technologies. Identifying appropriate platforms, orchestrating contract and license agreements with vendors, planning projects, setting user expectations, training, converting data, managing people resources and architecting networks are examples of activities that must be thoroughly planned. Professionally directed due diligence will prepare the integration team to advance the integration effort with minimum delays and surprises.

RAI's success in assisting clients with integrating systems is recognized from coast to coast.

RAI has earned a reputation for completing major application development projects on scope, on time, and on budget.

 System Selection EngagementsCurrent News
 
Selecting a technology system or a major system component (hardware/application software/network/internet) indicates change. There are inherent risks with change. Will it meet the business requirements in the future? What are the hidden costs? How will it be supported? How stable is the vendor? What are the implementation efforts required? How is training handled? How can it be incorporated into our existing components without a great deal of business interruption? How well does new technology coexist with legacy technology? What are the incremental growth costs? RAI is skilled at assessing risk and guiding clients through the selection process while minimizing risk.

RAI's approach to selection of technologies is business driven and vendor independent. RAI follows a proven methodology while maintaining a vendor neutral position. RAI does not represent or receive compensation from any hardware or software vendor. This means that RAI's only concern is meeting the needs of clients as efficiently and effectively as possible.

Consultants are equipped with a wide breadth of knowledge in diverse and leading-edge technologies. This experience proves important when identifying solution alternatives for clients.

 Business ModelingCurrent News
 
Business modeling is a process that captures relevant business objects that must be managed in business operations and documents how they relate one to the other. These business objects and relationships are organized to create a graphical or schematic representation that captures the essence of the enterprise or functions included in the process. Business modeling borrows a page from the traditional engineering book, in that it uses specific symbols to represent particular types of objects. The electronic engineer knows immediately the symbols for resistance or inductance. Similarly, the business analyst uses specific symbols to represent business objects and business rules that define the relationships between the business objects. Business modeling, at its highest level, provides a strategic view of the subject modeled. An accurate business model permits timely and dependable assessment of external factors to current operations along with easy recognition of critical success points to accommodate growth or downsizing. A business model driven down to its lowest level, the data level provides a primary input to modern applications development tools for application prototyping.

RAI's understanding and application of business modeling provides a competitive advantage over other consulting groups. Combining RAI's ability to identify when modeling is appropriate with business and methodology expertise provides RAI clients with a new perspective of their business.
