If you are struggling to figure out how to move your paper-based business to the web or if your customers are demanding more information, better access to information, or information customized to meet their specific needs, a DMSi Needs Assessment can solve your problems. During a Needs Assessment engagement, DMSi eSolutions consultants can help you understand the impact of XML on your business and how it can help your organization capitalize on new markets and growth opportunities.

 Situation Analysis

First, DMSi consultants will examine the way you currently deliver information to your customers and analyze your processes, procedures and personnel. Through a series of interviews and a review of your existing paper- and electronic-based information, we gain an understanding of your business. Discussions with your management team focus on customer demands, market expansion, future corporate direction, and increased revenue opportunities. Throughout this process we will concentrate on how XML-based technology can help provide solutions that have a positive impact on your bottom line.

 Requirements Definition

The second step is an analysis of your specific requirements against currently available tools. Specific requirements are identified and detailed, against which all recommendations are evaluated. We will discuss alternatives and make recommendations.

 System Recommendation

Then, our consultants will develop a detailed project plan outlining the steps involved in delivering an eSolution to meet your organization's goals and objectives. The plan will highlight costs, benefits, timelines, resources, and trade-offs, allowing your management team to make informed decisions.

 Review

The concluding step is an on-site review of the recommendations and projected implementation plan. We will answer any additional questions that you may have, as well as discuss in-depth the results of the analysis and our recommendations.

After DMSi has completed the Needs Assessment, your organization will be equipped with the information necessary to make an informed, intelligent business decision about how to move forward with XML; maximizing the benefits while minimizing the risk.
