What is a Technology Assessment?

In short this a process of understanding your current technologies and how they relate and interact. In addition we will marry this with your business processes and needs to produce a Business Technology Mapping that is used as the basis for the assessment.

Technology Assessment

With our indepth knowledge of current and emerging technologies, Hebbian are positioned to deliver the best technology recommendations for your organisation. We recommend technology that is appropriate to your domain and that will position your organization correctly for future growth and development.

Technology now changes at such a fast pace it seems almost impossible to keep up to date. Even IT departments are generally focused on the now and do not have the spare capacity to keep up to date with the ever changing technology front. We at Hebbian focus on current and emerging technlogies so that you don't have to; We are positioned to make sound recommendations that you can rely on.

Our reviews pay particular attention to your business aspirations and budgets and we tailor our recommendations based on these facts. That said, if we find that your budget is unrealistic and we are unable to offer a solution that fits in with this figure, we will tell you so and recommend a solution closest to your financial requirements.

Hebbian prides itself on prefessionalism and the ability to deliver solutions that are technologically appropriate and meet your current and future needs.

Why Would I Need an Assessment

Information Technology (IT) is widely acknowledged to be crucial for efficient operation and management of business. Without the technology we rely on almost every minute of our working day, business would simply be less efficient, ultimately removing the ability to keep pace with competitors. Assessing technology is now a fundamental process in a business lifecycle. Technology has become a key cog in the business machine; streamlining business processes, reducing overheads and providing the foundation to be competitive in the market place.

Quite often small companies either do not have the resource available, do not have the expertise to perform such assessments, or may just want a second opinion. These companies value our foresight in an area that is clouded with an overwhlming number of technologies.

Getting Started

Before you commit to a technology assessment, Hebbian insist on a short fact finding mission where you will present the technologies in use, applications, and business processes.

After signing an NDA, we will evaluate your system in detail and host several joint Technology and Process sessions at which we will gain an indepth and unbiased view of your systems and processes. At this time we will be gathering all the required information to make an assessment based on business needs. We will then use this information to draw a technology blueprint which will streamline your business going forward.
