Questions you should ask yourself:
- Are there measurable performance objectives for your mission critical systems?
- Is there continuous non-invasive performance monitoring in place?
- Do new system initiatives consider performance a forethought or afterthought?
- Is there a positive user perception of system performance?
If you don’t answer yes to all the questions above, most likely poor system performance is having a negative impact to the bottom line of your business.
Never Summer Innovations, Inc. specializes in four key areas of system performance:
- Planning
- Engineering
- Testing
- Monitoring
In a perfect world where time and resources can be spent up-front in building systems with performance in mind, the end results are often favorable. As resources (particularly the budget) are tight, the words “system performance” is first uttered when end users begin to complain about a system; which is too late. The costs involved to assess and solve such a problem (e.g., testing environments, technical resources, time) eventually out weights the cost to plan, engineer, and test with performance in mind from the beginning. Never Summer Innovations can recommend a best practice methodology for performance considerations at any phase of a system life-cycle.
Never Summer Innovations, Inc. specializes in four key areas of architecture:
- Strategy
- Solution
- Technical
- Realization
It is imperative to have a strategic architecture in which all project solution initiatives are based. Unfortunately, many companies lack this high-level strategic vision resulting in redundant solutions that are difficult and costly to maintain. Helping customers define a strategic architecture is recommended; however, we can assist in building specific solution architectures, technical leadership, and/or providing hands-on technical and realization of the implemented architecture.
Business Process Management Services
Never Summer Innovations, Inc. specializes in four key areas of business process management:
- Ownership
- Definition
- Services
- Automation
Far too often the “as-is” and “to-be” definitions of business processes are overlooked and instead business analysts and developers begin building services integrated with expensive business process automation tools. Never Summer Innovations promotes a top-down rigor of first establishing the owners/stakeholders for business processes along with a fully defined process flow in advance of any services use cases, design, and development. Automation where automation is unnecessary is a costly mistake to an organization.
