We were exploring new tech platforms to support client service and drive informed business decisions. We knew about a few different systems yet needed to understand their usability and value to the organization. Ellen guided our thinking and supported us while we defined requirements, attended product demonstrations, and discussed vendor selection. Her efforts helped us understand the economic costs and human effort required to make a significant technology transformation possible.

People

Every initiative starts with the right team members. Their understanding of the goals and objectives, along with the methodology to achieve them are the critical first steps.

process

Processes come in many shapes and forms. What works best for one initiative may not be the best choice for the next initiative. There's not one size fits all process.

technology

The technology used to support businesses and their initiatives must align with the people and process. It's the last piece of the puzzle to success.
