Most unsuccessful data focused projects are doomed from the start. A company without an
internal staff of experienced professionals often greatly underestimate the complexity
of automating and integrating disparate data, processes and business rules.
If your company is considering investing in a data solution, do not make the same
mistake that so many others before you have made. Contact HDS and schedule a time to
hear about our pre-project services.
Our two main planning services are typically offered as part of the End-to-End
Package, but can be arranged as a single service offering.
Before a project should be initiated, an experienced professional must review the business needs and assess the existing database architecture. Often times, underlying data issues, application flaws due to ambiguous requirements, performance bottlenecks, conflicting business rules, and unmet requirements go unnoticed until a project is well underway and commitments have already been made.
