Readiness Assessment

The readiness assessment is a high-level current-state strategy engagement designed to rapidly establish a benchmark for your project and provide a clear view of how to proceed with a strategy in clear, straight-forward terms. The readiness assessment includes conducting a gap analysis with resulting risks and recommendations documented. The assessment produces a specific and actionable readout of your readiness to implement a specific strategic solution.

Perficient conducts readiness assessments in a number of solution areas and industry verticals including SOA, business intelligence, CRM, enterprise content management, master data management, cloud computing, Healthcare and more.

Health Check

Perficient has helped many clients turn around struggling projects. Our deep experience gained across a broad spectrum of work has helped us to develop fast-paced custom heath check programs. The intent of the health check is to create a set of actionable tasks to get the process and project on track to ensure ROI. These programs are typically conducted over three-to-four days to one-to-two weeks, during which time Perficient interviews key parties to assess the current state of the effort. We then conduct a gap analysis of the current state against documented best practices. The Health Check deliverable is a formal report benchmarking your efforts against the best practices we have developed across our many client engagements along with recommended corrective actions. Benefits of the health check include:

  • Provides a benchmark of current approach against industry best practices
  • Leverages Perficient’s baseline architecture, lifecycle methodology and operational guide
  • Delivers a set of actionable tasks that can then be estimated for feasibility and ROI
  • Helps ensure projects are on track to achieve business and technical objectives

Program and Project Management

Perficient’s program and project management services can help you create a solution delivery model that ensures delivery is on time, on specification and on budget with results aligned with business needs. Program and project management can assist with and improve project planning, governance, infrastructure, financial management/ROI and more by instituting best practices and choosing the most appropriate delivery methodology. Perficient’s program and project management Services focus on the “how” and will help you make the most of your technology investments in terms of speed, adoption and quality.
