Strategic Planning Services
Every day you strive to expand your competitive advantage and differentiate your
organization from your competition. Simultaneously, you must also do everything
you can to increase your bottom line in the face of ever increasing costs. Since
resources both in human and capitol are never overabundant, you must ensure each project
provides maximum impact for your organization. This is where Gateway Solutions can help.
Through our knowledge, gained from years of experience helping other customers in similar
situations, we can help you sort through all possible opportunities to decide which make
sense for your company, and in what order they should be initiated. In this respect, we
offer the following strategic planning services:
We can either provide assistance to your in house project teams, or provide a
complete turn key solution in any of the above areas. A brief description of each
type of service follows.
Gateway Solutions can assist with determining which projects make the most sense,
and will have the biggest impact on your organization by creating a document including
current situation analysis, needs determination, a project scope, a list of available
options, and recommended solution. Once this is agreed upon, we can perform an ROI
and Strategic advantage analysis to accurately determine the exact costs and benefits
of undertaking this type of project.
Once you have decided to go forward with a project, based upon the prior analysis, we
can help create an RFP which ensures your selected vendor will fully meet your needs,
without selling you "extras" that provide little added benefit compared to their costs. By providing concrete, measurable goals at this stage, you are ensured of no surprises later on, and your chances of being able to compare "apples to apples" are greatly enhanced. We can also provide you with lists of potentially qualified vendors that should be solicited for a response.
After sending out your RFP to a group of selected vendors, we can help you evaluate
the relative strengths and weaknesses for each response and organization providing
the response. When necessary, we can become a liaison to a more narrowly defined
group of finalists to solicit the final round of information that allows you to pick
a winner.
We can help you prepare preliminary project plans, provide a risk analysis,
break the project(s) into phases, and show you the proper order to implement each one.
We can create a detailed cash flow/ROI follow up showing exactly when each expense and
benefit should be accrued. Doing this ensures you get the most for your money
immediately.
By choosing any, or all of the above services, you can have an instant experienced
partner working on your side. There is no need to go through the time and expense
of gaining this expertise in house. Often, when taking the time necessary to gain
this expertise, your competition is already acting upon the changes to the marketplace,
putting you instantly at a competitive disadvantage. Hiring an employee with the
expertise on a full time basis means either the expense continues long after the
project has been completed, or a reputation for unstable employment due to terminating
employees after their initial project has been completed, which sends the wrong message
to other employees in your organization. Gateway Solutions is the perfect answer to
this dilemma, allowing you to instantly have the expertise you require, while at the
same time allowing the expenses to stop immediately once the project is complete.
