ECM specific consulting

The Content Group's consulting capability covers every aspect of content and has a number of generic consulting solutions that span the content spectrum.

• Practice Assessment

  A series of stakeholder interviews and workshops during which we gather the business requirements and user scenarios, which are then formalised, classified under the ECM practices and technologies. Through detailed analysis of the requirements, we provide observations and recommendations for the next steps.

• Technology Assessment

  An assessment of relevant existing in-house technologies in the context of the classified business requirements to determine their suitability for fulfilling those requirements.

• Programme Assessment

  An assessment of the validity of the ECM programme, covering areas such as the business requirements provided, organisational objectives and programme sponsorship to identify relevant areas of risk for the programme. It also provides recommendations around approach to reduce the risks and enhance the likelihood of success for their programme.

• Content Assessment

  An analysis of the existing information and processes, to determine the volume and nature of the information and evaluation of the findings to understand the behaviour and value of the information.

• Vendor Analysis

  In the context of the business requirements - which have been classified into ECM practices and technologies - an assessment of leading ECM vendors to create a shortlist of vendors and technologies who can meet the business requirements.

• Vendor Select

  Selection of 2-3 ECM vendors who merit further investigation. The vendors are invited to workshops to run through POC builds based on discrete areas of the business requirements and specific use cases obtained during the Practice Assessment phase.
