Technology initiatives cannot begin without a plan. Whether you wish to build a 14-page Web site, extend the interactivity of a Web site or integrate 16 disparate databases and 11 applications into one cohesive technology initiative, the first step is to create a plan.
The plan must consider information architecture, budget, data modeling, maintenance, security and, most important, it must comprehensively address the business issues you face today and prepare you for the concerns of tomorrow. DCG is firmly committed to helping you match your technology plan to your strategic plan so that your organization can make the best use of its hardware and software investments.

Are your customers, employees and partners able to access the data they need to make appropriate business decisions?

The role of Web sites and what people expect from them continues to evolve. Once treated as simply another marketing tool, in many instances, the Web sites of today are integral parts of the organization’s operating strategy. Does your site meet the expectations of your customers, employees, partners and vendors?
To paraphrase the Cheshire Cat in Lewis Carroll’s novel Alice in Wonderland, if you don’t know where you want to go, then it does not matter which way you go. Having a technology plan implies that you have a direction in which you are heading and milestones and benchmarks along the way. Without linking a technology plan to a strategic plan, the best you can do is acquire technology in a slightly haphazard fashion and hope that it all works out.
DCG identifies the issues at the intersections where your business' operations and technology initiatives meet. We identify ways in which you can improve or change those initiatives to enhance your business operations, increase ROI from technology investments and meet your targeted goals.
