Although most of your information technology projects may be very detailed, specific, and clear, sometimes things aren't so straightforward. When a project is too big, too vague, or simply out of the scope of your in-house expertise, it's often best to bring in third-party experts who can independently assess what's going on, where you're going, and what you need to do to get there. Because the field15 staff is so well versed in multiple technologies, industry standards, and best practices, our IT consulting clients always receive a completely thorough, well-researched, and honest evaluation and plan for how to proceed.
Our typical IT consulting scenarios include:
General website consultancy
Many companies today have a staff member familiar with web design or production, but familiarity doesn't necessarily mean expertise. Your current staff might be the perfect choice for basic site updates and changes, but what if something more complex comes up and you need some professional advice? You could spend hours searching for answers online, but if expediency (and experience) are important, wouldn't it be nice to have an expert on call? field15 can serve as your go-to experts, helping your staff determine the best course of action and providing a plan for reaching your end goals.
General research
Sometimes you may know that you need to purchase some sort of software, hardware, or IT service, but you either don't have the time to research all of the options or you don't feel that you understand the underlying technologies and options well enough to make an informed decision. In those cases, it can be best to rely on field experts to investigate your needs thoroughly and then research all of the available options to find the best match for you. Whether it's a self-service direct marketing provider, an eCommerce shopping cart solution, a Business Intelligence (BI) suite, or anything in-between, our knowledgeable staff can find the right solution for you.
Writing a technological Request for Proposals (RFP)
Requests for bids on an IT project, by nature, need to contain very specific technological language, requirements, and parameters. But, what if you don't have the in-house expertise to determine those specs and explain your needs in the language of IT? field15 can be your RFP writing partnereven formalizing an agreement before-hand that says we won't bid on the final project. With an IT expert by your side guaranteeing that only your best interests are being considered, you can be sure to produce an RFP that will eliminate time and costs by narrowing the focus down to only the most qualified bidders.
