Blue Heron's project leaders have the experience and objectivity to ensure the on-time, on-budget completion of your project. They have expertise in using Blue Heron methodologies, templates, and project accelerators to effectively manage the project and ensure full knowledge transfer to the client. Our knowledge-transfer approach positions clients for independence from vendors/consulting companies both during and after the system implementation. Plus, clients have the advantage of Blue Heron's knowledge repository of Lessons Learned, templates, and project accelerators from countless system implementations.
Blue Heron Consulting is a true partner to your Firm, acting as an independent third party to your project team. Blue Heron often can make recommendations resulting in significant reductions in project scope and cost. It is not uncommon for Blue Heron to recommend solutions that contradict what package vendors or package-affiliated integrators recommend for clients. This objectivity is a crucial advantage to clients, ensuring their interests and saving them time and money.
Information System Modernization Program
For a business seeking specific enhancements fast, a complex upgrade can be over-kill, as well as a drain on resources. Blue Heron Consulting's System Modernization Program enables the client to make specific enhancements quickly without the full system upgrade.
Through the System Modernization Program, businesses implement the latest technology to resolve particular pain points while keeping costs and complexity to a minimum. By creating a platform for high-impact enhancements, System Modernization can extend the life of your information system by seven to fifteen years — while saving 75% to 90% off the cost of a full package upgrade.
Best of all, the System Modernization Program can be implemented using dollars already budgeted for system support and maintenance. Businesses taking advantage of Blue Heron's maintenance agreement — at rates approximately half those of the typical vendor service agreement — can apply these savings directly to System Modernization. Most clients can expect a return on the investment within two to three years.
