Houston, TX (PRWeb) November 3, 2008 -- Practical Programs,
a company built around addressing the document management
system needs of energy and industrial companies, announces
a comprehensive suite of document management consulting services
being provided by their Professional Services Group with
the aim to facilitate their customers' document work flows.
Services like business analysis, process design, and requirements
development are being offered. Industry compliance, training,
system configurations and implementations, identifications
of business solutions, and cad document management software
selection round out the list. Even help with creation of
key documents like task plans and statement of work are being
offered, making this a truly wide-ranging repertoire of document
management consulting services.
With experience derived from being a provider of an already
widely used, customizable document management
system, including DvTDM, a document management solution that
includes CAD applications. Practical Programs'
document management consulting services are designed to root
out and address weak areas in a company's document management
work flow processes, most often starting with an introductory
fact-finding consultation. This introductory sweep can confirm
a client's already emerging document work flow concerns and
detect hidden problem areas, while explaining the pros and
cons of various known and less familiar solutions. Some key
consultation services are the introductory consultation,
requirements development, software selection, and industry
compliance.
Introductory Consultation explores the different aspects
of document management, guided by an experienced professional.
Clients often do not know what options are available for
their business model and may not even
know where to start. An introductory consultation can provide
clients the head start needed to raise awareness
and create a reservoir of in-house knowledge on differing
aspects of document management, helping to pave a
sensible course of concrete action. Requirements Development
is about shaping and refining the wants and needs of users,
IT departments, managers, external customers and vendors,
often an exhaustive process with many unforeseeable pitfalls.
One of the biggest problem areas in developing requirements
internally is the unequal distribution of priority on one
group of users. An outside consultant can be impartial in
helping to distinguish what each group's actual needs are
and making sure that the requirements are in alignment. Document
Management Software Selection is particularly a sensitive
area for most companies.
Of the numerousdocument management systems available, normally
few are right for a unique company with specific needs in
a particular industry. Practical Programs' experienced professionals
can reduce selection time exponentially and help the client
quickly get to a short list that allows the company to focus
on finding the solution that relevant
management personnel is most comfortable with. Industry Compliance
is an especially bewildering situation to the average document
management solution buyer. This is because, while many applications
claim to be "Industry Standard Compliant", most
compliance requirements are in fact not specific to many
individual software applications, resulting in a slow-down
in meeting compliance and all the resulting problems this
can cause. Compliance documents require the company to adhere
to certain practices and procedures, and some applications
can help you accomplish these requirements, while others
will fall short or neglect certain of these. To assure your
company's total compliance, Practical Programs can assist
you in researching your industry requirements and auditing
your procedures within your document management process.
Whatever the exact industry of the client, Practical Programs'
North American spokesman, Bret Lawson, states
"We are committed to being an integral piece of the
puzzle in our clients' document management needs, not just
in the Houston oil, gas, energy and energy facilitation industries,
but nation-wide, in all industries that have the
need. We don't limit the forcus to a set, pre-prepared solution.
We delve into what it is that the client actually
needs and try to get the best applicable working solution
paired with the existing need," says Lawson, "Practical
Programs' carefully customized approach results in solutions
to actual needs and an improved work flow."
