Our Project Management team provides practical knowledge, experience, and skills that enable projects to finish on time and within budget. More importantly, they guide the project to the predicted outcome and realization of its objectives.
During the project initiation phase, TAG’s project manager will meet with the client’s executive sponsor, project manager, and team leaders, and create a practical plan to manage constraints, resolve issues, control budgets, communicate progress, and support organizational change.
Following the project Kick-Off, our project management team is responsible for the overall success of the project and ensuring that all services and deliverables are timely and meet agreed quality standards.
At the successful conclusion of the project, the same project team will work with you to transition the project from implementation to maintenance.
Analysis and Design
Technology is an enabler of business process enhancement and not a substitute for it. Acquiring new technology in the belief that merely introducing it will lead to improved operations is a bad investment. Justice agencies seeking to make prudent use of public resources must take steps to maximize the potential of technology to improve performance, rather than automating old and inefficient processes.
Analysis and design is a discovery process and represents one of the more critical aspects of a successful development project. It focuses on gathering knowledge about the needs of the stakeholders by helping them to understand and articulate their problems and, describing their vision of what they need their system to do. It is a collaborative effort between TAG and the Client resulting in the most efficient way to implement TAGCPM, streamline processes, and manage the associated change. The objective is to learn everything possible about the Clients current processes and how to improve them.
Real life case scripts are used to confirm TAGCPM’s ability to meet published requirements and identify functional gaps that may require modifications.
Infrastructure Analysis and Preparation
The goal of this phase is to assess the infrastructure of each site and identify necessary upgrades that will enable each location to support TAGCPM including voice, data, and video: Including the ability to have facility-wide information sharing, files, databases, applications, reporting, printing capability, and electronic mail connectivity. It also includes enterprise-wide resource sharing, security, and intranet and Internet access.
Each location and every department will be evaluated to determine its infrastructure capabilities. At a minimum, the evaluations will review network connectivity, network bandwidth, user desktop hardware and software, and printers. As part of this task, we will identify impact points that may affect the timely and successful implementation of the project, including network connectivity, network bandwidth, user desktop hardware and software, and printers. TAG will prepare an assessment report that will include infrastructure requirements and hardware and software specifications for multiple environments including Development/Configuration, test, training, and production.
Based on the agreed upon system architecture TAG and the client’s technical team will set up the testing and training environments to support each office, install TAGCPM and any third-party software, including tool sets used for testing and training, and perform baseline application configuration and data set-up.
