Once you've made the decision that you want to investigate the viability of a project, the first thing you need to do is understand all the attributes (risk, cost, timescales, ROI, aims, etc.). None of these are identifiable if you and the potential supplier do not know what the end deliverables are likely to be.

Project management is an integral part of the on-IDLE consultancy service and runs throughout the development, testing, implementation and maintenance lifespan of every project. You will always have the same project manager – a one-stop access point – that will deal with your requirements professionally, as well as making sure that the development team receive the correct requirements, deliverables information and feedback.

Strategic and consultancy services include:

– Project scoping
– Systems architecture planning
– Team selection and management
– Project management
– Work groups
– Documentation and report writing
– Usability analysis

on-IDLE undertake a scoping exercise or workshop with every customer – on every project. This involves brain storming, staff interviews, business analysis, a competitive analysis and finally a findings review which outlines the level of detail needed for the you to make the decisions on what to proceed with and what to leave (perhaps for later developments). This enables on-IDLE to provide accurate and cost effective quotes, plan the development timescale, and brief the design and technology teams on requirements and deliverables.
