& Mentoring Services
Object Knowledge provides a suite of consulting
and mentoring services that will enable you to quickly transform
your business to e-business. Object Knowledge consultants
are experienced practitioners – every consultant has
10+ years experience and knowledge to design, develop and
implement solutions right the first time. You can call on
our experienced consultants and mentors when facing strategic
and tactical business challenges that must be resolved efficiently
and successfully.
Our consulting solutions are designed to
help you in any stage of your process – from business
modeling and analysis and gathering requirements, to project
management, to component architecture design, to legacy and
packaged application integration, to application development
and deployment. Our packaged consulting solutions provide
you with customizable pre-defined services that integrate
consulting, mentoring and just-in-time training to help you
meet your time-to-market needs.
Our approach emphasizes transfer of skills
and leveraging knowledge capital in your organization. We
provide full knowledge transfer to your team throughout the
project so that your people become proficient faster and
retain the knowledge after the project is done.
Business Process Modeling
Business Process Modeling (BPM) is a crucial component of
all business transformation efforts. BPM is also a critical but often overlooked
step in new systems development. Some of the benefits of a
well-designed business process model are model verification,
simulation and quantitative analysis prior to implementation.
Our experienced mentors work together with your business and
IT people in JAD sessions. Together, we set common goals,
create a roadmap, design the most efficient processes, and
map the process models into a workflow implementation backed
by flexible component architecture. Mentors are doers and
advisors. They transfer knowledge along the way - leaving
your team with the experience and know-how to do the next
project. back to the top
Project Assessment
Not everything always comes out as planned. Users complain
they are not getting what they wanted, the schedule slips,
systems performance is intolerable, no reuse has been achieved,
and maintenance and systems integration is a nightmare. Our
Project Assessments are designed to quickly identify the trouble
spots and recommend practical solutions in these areas: business
process modeling, requirements management, architecture, organization,
development process, quality assurance and systems performance.

Development Process Improvement
Object and Component Technologies require a different approach
to systems development. We specialize in object-oriented and
component based development methodologies. With our pragmatic
approach, we can help you select, tailor and implement a process
that works best for your project and corporate culture. back

Tools Evaluation / Selection
Choosing the right tools is important.
We are vendor independent and we have worked extensively with
a broad range of tools, giving you the benefit of our experience

development environments, component frameworks, repositories,
configuration management, and middleware. back

Transition Management
Finally, you are ready to implement
your new way of doing things, but if people continue to do
things the old way, the effort is lost. Transition Management
is a critical success factor. We will help you assess your
organization's readiness, map out an efficient transition
plan, and help you implement the transition plan. back

Component Based Development
If you are in a crunch, our experienced
analysts, designers and developers can move you along faster
to reach your target deliverables. Together we set up flexible
short and long-term contract arrangements around your project
schedule, which combines on-site and off-site work in the
most efficient and cost-effective way. back
