IT Consulting Differences That Matter
IT Consulting companies have some unique needs:
- Your projects are frequently large and complex; they ramp quickly and need to be delivered quickly. It is a fast-paced environment.
- Your projects are mission-critical, and managing what is in scope and added out-of-scope requirements together – and on time – is crucial.
- You have multiple types of resources you have to pull together for various projects, and what they have in common is that they are expensive. You need to maximize utilization and balance schedules based on multiple resource parameters.
- Change orders and issues management are key, and often the client must participate in the process for necessary approvals.
- You need to know in real time both the activity status and the financial status of your projects, so you can maximize profits and avoid unprofitable outcomes.
What Keeps You Up at Night?
Along with your key differences, IT Consulting firms have unique pains:
- Is resource management and scheduling a nightmare between your numerous projects, all in different phases, and all with shared, scarce and expensive resources?
- Are your projects managed somewhat haphazardly, as they move through quotes, opportunity development, project planning and execution, and support? Do things sometimes fall through the cracks at transition times?
- Is scope creep and client change approval management somewhat unmanageable?
- Do your people report all work completed and do you properly bill for everything you have done for your clients, particularly around add-on work?
- Do you know, right now, which clients, which projects, which phases, which resources and which tasks or activities are profitable? Do you lose money from not knowing and not being able to anticipate profitability?
