Our Approach

Our approach comes from years of implementation, deployment, and support of CRM systems. We focus on understanding our client's business environment to identify the challenges and opportunities it presents. We can develop process and technical solutions designed to contribute to the client's financial performance, customer loyalty, and employee satisfaction.

One key to our success is a structured, yet flexible, methodology we use that is called our ValueBase Methodology. We use this methodology to define the solution requirements and expected benefits from the solution, develop the solution and then measure the results of the implementation to show clear value to the organization.

The ValueBase Methodology consists of four phases -- Assess, Strategize, Implement and Maintain. As we progress from one phase to the next, we keep the spotlight on the business benefits.

Initial assessment is a very important step of the ValueBase methodology. This is where we identify the business benefits that we hope to realize, and quantify its value to the organization. The result is a documented roadmap that aligns your goals with the initiatives and resources. This can be used to sustain executive sponsorship for the initiatives.

  • Strategize - the next phase creates the strategy and planning that will allow us to devise the solution that will provide the optimum benefit; as early as possible, and for as long as required. The strategy may be to select the right commercial off-the-shelf CRM application, develop custom functionality, or a combination of both. Our on-going relationships with market leaders such as Amdocs, Microsoft, SAP, and Siebel give our clients a broad spectrum of awareness.

  • Implement - during the implementation phase, we examine, formulate and apply changes to Process, People, Organization, and Technology. All these aspects combine to contribute to any successful business enterprise and it is important that the solution takes each of these factors into consideration.

  • Maintain - we keep engaged with the our clients to ensure that the solution we helped to implement keeps delivering the business value that it was intended to deliver. This includes knowledge transfers to our client's resources, follow-up assessments or adjustments to the solution in response to changes in the business environment.

During all these phases, we are constantly engaged with the client. We make sure that there is constant feedback and participation with our client project and management team. This consistent interaction is a critical success factor in any engagement.

Another factor is the composition and quality of our client facing delivery and management team. We apply a flexible engagement model that combines the experience of senior business, technology, and project management specialists along with the enthusiasm, idealism and curiosity of less senior consultants to foster a dynamic and consistently innovative approach to any engagement. We can apply teams that include on-site, remote, and off-shore members that cooperate flawlessly.

Our project manager partners with a TTS executive sponsor who acts as the customer advocate ensuring that we are always focused on building and managing the business value of the solution.
