Project Rescue

We proceed from the old military adage that "No plan survives First Contact."

In the commercial world IT has no intrinsic value. Rather, information technologies exist to solve business problems, reduce inefficiency, and transform cost centers into profit centers. Almost no technology is a pure drop-in solution; rather success is predicated on proper specification, acquisition, configuration, implementation, and maintenance. In other words, success is the product of a well-executed project.

Many IT projects are well-intentioned, thoughtfully planned, professionally executed, and ultimately lead to solution of the target problem.

Others, not so much. And for those, we're here to help.

There are at least as many reasons for IT projects to fail as there are potential solutions to a business problem. Many are the result of insufficiencies. Time, planning, bandwidth, expertise, budget, stakeholder support, or any combination thereof. Others are the result of excesses. Institutional inertia, politics, technical scope, emotion, management oversight, and customization spring to mind. When a project goes "off the rails," everyone loses, and you're left with the same unsolved problem and fewer resources for resolution.
