Project & Business Consulting

Generated Solutions offers significant experience in all aspects of project and business consulting services. Our project consulting expertise includes:

• Problem Definition: Beforing defining a solution it is best-practice to first define the problem to be solved; this definition may take the form of a simple problem definition statement, a more complex project charter document or a full business requirements document. Regardless of its form, the definition must identify the stakeholders and articulate their needs
• Solution Definition: Once a problem has been fully defined the possible solutions can be explored; this solution exploration involves analyzing various paradigms and solution spaces, for the best fit to the problem and the economics of the project. The solution definition is the basis for the detailed architecture that follows.
• Software Architecture: There are many definitions for the term "software architecture"; for any particular project, the definition applied is often related to the methodology that is being utilized. Essentially though, the architecture of a complex software system is its "style and method of design and construction". [BHayes-Roth 95]
• Project Management: The application of knowledge, skills, tools and techniques to a broad range of activities to meet the requirements of a particular project - within the standard five process groups: initiating, planning, executing, controlling and closing.

Our project approach integrates each phase of a project through an iterative process that leads from a detailed problem definition to a complete solution.

Business Consulting: Often, a necessary first step when deciding to initiate a project, is to develop a business case or a preliminary business plan. This may be undertaken to fully scope and understand the risks involved and the opportunity represented by a project. The principals of Generated Solutions have extensive experience building business cases.
