Information Management Consulting and Project Management
Regardless of your company’s industry, information technology is critical to any business operation. When you invest hard-earned dollars in technology, you need an experienced partner to help select the tools customized to your company’s business plan. We consult with clients in aligning technology requirements to a firm’s larger strategy. Whether your firm is a small business with a limited budget, a large business that needs an impartial third-party, or a regulated government agency – Creative Strategies provides the customized direction clients need.

Quality Assurance Consulting
Creative Strategies will assist your company with creating a request for proposal (RFP) related to a technology project and collect and monitor the submission process. We will then help you select a winning bid based upon qualitative and quantitative evaluation criteria and assure the winning bid fulfills the obligations of its contract.

Custom Software Design and Development
You have evaluated countless software systems and none truly provides what your company needs. Stop looking for off-the-shelf solutions. Creative Strategies will design and develop software solutions customized to your firm’s operations, strategy, and budget. A few reasons why you should consider custom development over Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS) software:

• Software designed to your firm’s unique requirements beats any COTS product.
• COTS software is an expense; custom software is logged as a financial asset.
• While COTS software is licensed, your firm OWNS custom software. Do anything you want with your customized software - including reselling copies of it to others.

System Design and Development
Software should not be an application package you simply install and run. It is crucial to consider how the software affects network traffic, how it supplies and retrieves data from adjacent systems, and how the data transactions may affect your company’s overall operations. Creative Strategies will integrate necessary software into your current system while you plan for growth and maximize efficiencies.

Training, Installation Support, and virtual help files
It’s not enough to supply you with a completed software application. You may have multiple sites requiring installation, or your employees may need training in using the software. Creative Strategies can help. We will provide training related to the software we write for your firm and installation training for your technical personnel. You may reduce training time with the help of effective training aids, documentation, and online help guides. Creative Strategies will create these for your firm as part of the overall software development life cycle. You choose the format for your help files – HTML-based, multimedia presentations, or hard copy documents.
