Information Technology projects can quickly spiral out of control. Statistics show over 60% of IT projects have budget, schedule, or specification challenges and a more alarming 10%-20% are in serious trouble. Executives agree technology provides strategic advantages for their businesses. When corporate strategy is threatened these competing forces must be quickly addressed to provide IT projects the opportunity to achieve their business case, and avoid other potential business losses.

 

 

Our aCure-IT methodology achieves two critical business outcomes; immediate relief to delivery and financial problems associated with a distressed IT situation, and a long term action plan to develop processes and methods for a sustainable, high performing IT organization.

Implementation of aCure-IT consists of the comprehensive four step process highlighted below.

1. Assess IT – A quick, action oriented assessment to understand vital signs and decide on immediate actions.
2. Manage IT – Repair immediate damage, and assess the opportunities and challenges to create sustainability in for our client’s IT organization.
3. Sustain IT – Initiate long term success. Actions are taken to complete all turnaround deliverables, and begin instituting the processes and methods to for long term sustainability.
4. Transition IT – Turn over a fully functioning, well disciplined IT organization to our client. There are many elements of the transition available, from basic turnover to a complete organizational change aimed at maximizing return on investment.

aCure-IT is a methodology proven with over 10 years of experience in IT Turnaround. A few examples of our success include:

• $30MM wireless communication project, stabilized in 3-weeks and completely re-written in 5 months at a fraction of the original cost. Still operating on the same architecture since deployment in 2000.
• Highly visible embedded system, severely under stress after 8 months of internal development. Persis completed this project in 4 months and met original scope and delivery time lines.
• Stabilization of an IVR system which could not handle any better than 30% of the calls was attempted by a number of top tier global consulting firms before Persis was able to achieve 100% performance in 3 short months. This system still performing at the same level since June 2005.
