A technology asset is hard to describe and evaluate. How complete is
system? How much longer will it take to finish? What problems
are inherent in the way a program is constructed? None of
these questions are easy to answer. Given the investment
that a company makes in a large system, a second opinion
can reduce risk. Dan's experience in managing millions of
dollars in development budgets and integrating large
and complex systems can help ensure the success
of your projects. |

 Technology EvaluationDan can quickly provide a state of the system report that describes how the development of a system is progressing, large problems that may lurk ahead, how to adjust engineering practices to increase quality, and how to keep the product being create synchronized with the needs of the end users. Vendor SelectionVendor products are rarely directly comparable. Each product generally has a complex set of features and a different sweet spot. Each product has a set of weaknesses that will have to be overcome. A development staff with a full plate rarely has time to do an exhaustive evaluation of a product and too often rely on sales staff for information. Using his network and reporting skills, Dan can rapidly perform an in depth comparison of products and make a recommendation of the right vendor. |
Architecture Evaluation At the beginning of a project, many choices are made that cannot easily be changed. Verifying assumptions about the strengths and weaknesses of architectural choices can pay great dividends. Problems inherent in certain technology can be planned for. StandardsTrends toward outsourcing, automating the supply chain, web services, and XML all are making the development of standards a key problem. For companies, it is important that standards be useful and leverage the existing technology investment. For a trade group, managing a standards effort can be frustratingly slow, with progress taking years instead of months. Dan has helped set standards in several industries and can guide companies and trade groups through ways to accelerate the process of setting standards and subsequently promoting adoption.
