IN TODAY'S MARKETPLACE, the capability to support business needs with information technology is a necessity -- one that demands high levels of technical and analytical ability. Our clients appreciate the tailored business technology solutions we provide through a varied range of consulting options. Our highly skilled professional consultants bring to each project a wealth of technical expertise as well as a full understanding of the entire life cycle of the systems development process. Whether the goal is migrating to the latest technologies or implementing a new business system, Micro-Doctor can help. We offer three primary types of client engagement support. 1. THE COMPLETE TURNKEY APPROACH Some clients do not have an internal IT development staff, and others simply lack sufficient personnel to tackle certain information systems development projects. To satisfy their need, Micro-Doctor offers a complete turnkey development approach. Our consultants understand that the client must have a systematic way of handling problems and we must view the whole picture. The consultant becomes the company's technical staff. They are the project manager for the new technology implementation and must know how to supply every aspect of the system. Client involvement focuses on requirement definition, functional design and acceptance of the system, while Micro-Doctor provides the necessary project management and technical skills. 2. A JOINT TEAM APPROACH In many engagements, Micro-Doctor and the client work side by side throughout the life of the project. This is a true team effort in which Micro-Doctor and the client both bring their expertise to the table, sharing functional and technical knowledge among team members. We work to ensure that the client's trained staff has the skills and confidence to maintain the system once Micro-Doctors involvement ends. This allows the client to develop in-house knowledge and helps relieve the "fear of abandonment" often felt by companies as a project nears completion and a consulting group's departure becomes imminent. 3. TECHNICAL MENTORING While Micro-Doctor often plays the key role in consulting projects, we are also involved in cases in which the majority of system and application development is performed by the client's staff. Micro-Doctors consultants participate as needed and add their in-depth analytical, technical and/or managerial knowledge to the project--by reviewing project plans, optimizing data models, selecting GUI standards, recommending development methodologies. Through this form of engagement, clients minimize the pitfalls and common mistakes that often accompany a migration to new technologies and systems architectures. Consultant Assignments Micro-Doctors consultants are highly trained people-oriented individuals who enjoy what they do and excel at producing first-rate work for our clients. Typically, Micro-Doctors teams include an Engagement Manager, a Project Manager, Consultants and Business Analysis. Engagement Manager - A Senior member of the staff acts as the main contact for high-level business interaction between the client and Micro-Doctor. Project Manager - A Senior or Lead Consultant is responsible for the daily management of the project, which includes developing the project plan, monitoring the progress and quality of the work, communicating status, resolving issues, and managing scope. Lead Consultant - A seasoned consultant with specific expertise in the technology used on the project. A Lead Consultant is responsible for helping and mentoring systems developers on the project and provides technical direction and tool assessment. Consultant - Systems developers produce solutions to business problems and integrate these solutions into existing systems or create new ones. Business Analyst - A Consultant or Business Analyst thoroughly learns business procedures and gathers systems requirements to relay from the client back to the development team. Micro-Doctor offers a broad range of IT services and employs a team of experienced professionals whose primary goal is to turn your vision into reality. To make this happen, we look at the whole picture and can perform the gamut of services from tactical one-off projects to customized end-to-end solutions. Clients that choose Micro-Doctor to help them realize their goals see these strategic business initiatives put into practice;
