Consultancy

Feasibility studies identify the business potential of an automation project, the technical feasibility and the cost involved. Feasibility studies are an important first step in any process automation development process, a step that should never be missed.

Hint consultants can assist you in the analysis of system/software requirements and the resulting risks with a proper cost/benefit analysis. As each area has its own aspects, feasibility studies vary based on the system that has to be developed. Examples of Consultancy activities are:

Work Flow Analysis
Work Flow Analysis provides insight in operational processes, decision making, cash flow and work flow and recommends procedural changes and if applicable IT solutions for improvement.

Conceptual Design Studies
Conceptual design studies result in User Requirement Specifications (URS) and/or Functional Design Specifications (FDS) as basis for office automation concepts.

Software Architecture Design
A software architecture design determines the best software architecture to meet aspects such as safety, reliability, scalability, (cyber) security and maintainability.

Economic Feasibility Studies
Economic feasibility studies, conducted in the early phases of a project, help in making a cost / benefit analysis. This analysis can complement the organisation's Business Case to justify a "go" or "no go" for a project.
