Every company has processes – a series of actions directed toward a specific aim – in many cases they become inefficient and return undesired results. They didn't necessarily start out this way but due to changes within the company environment – be it from policies, legal requirements or other situation – they have become fragmented. We use our experience and understanding of tools to analyze your processes and match them against your goals and then to make recommendations for streamlining those processes.

We have a strong knowledge for building the infrastructure for delivering Business Intelligence (company reports) to your staff in quick and effective ways. We have created solutions from designing reports in a number of different tools to developing something as grand as a company dashboard. Doesn't the sound of drilling down into key metrics in mere seconds sound appealing?!

How many different systems are used to store your company data? Now, how many times do you ask someone to retrieve a set of data from one system only to combine it with a set of data requested from another system? All of that might have taken hours or even days. But, did you really get the data that you wanted to begin with? Data Frontline can help your company understand what data to ask for and how to tie that data together for effective and timely decision-making. Remember, quicker decisions based on quality data can save thousands of dollars at a given moment!

Imagine the following scenario. Your company has just purchased assets from another company and you are now challenged with integrating some of the data for those assets into your company's environment. Some companies have internal staff available to assist with these tasks. Whether your company has staff available or not, Data Frontline stands ready with highly skilled people to analyze the data and make it ready for integration within your systems.

The purchase and implementation of new software can be overwhelming to an IT department in a small company. Data Frontline has staff available to help assess what steps and skills are necessary for a successful implementation of a process and/or product.

The lack of documentation can lead to very high operating costs within a company. Data Frontline has approximately 25 different documents available in its project management toolbox. We have templates for project charters, requirements, hours and costs tracking, milestone tracking, quality assurance, and development design. Each document is designed to mitigate your risk of being left "high-and-dry" due to a lack of documentation.

Our project managers understand the importance of "looking down the road". No business project owner wants to hear a project manager say that they need more hours and/or more money – but let's face it, that is part of the project culture. We have tools that can help you quickly see exactly what we see in project hours and costs.

Projects can quickly go "off the tracks" with the lack of one very simple thing – the lack of Scope Management. Business project owners are under constant pressure to deliver more in less time with less resources and the "deliver more" can be a real problem. Our project managers collaborate and assess change requests with their project team to advise project owners of what priority and the impacts or risk for adding requests. We are proficient in scope management which can save your company a lot of money and a lot of future issues.

Data Frontline has project managers that can help with communications to key stakeholders, managers, and/or the user community. Communication can be the greatest contributor to a project failing or succeeding. We take time to learn what communications are needed throughout the project and then make sure that we deliver them at the appropriate time.

Every business project owner expects to know what is going on with their project. We deliver status reports at the interval that you request – daily, weekly, or other. And, very soon this information will be available in real time with the implementation of our new project management tool that will be available in a cloud environment!

Many small companies do not understand the importance of proper implementation of a process or product.

And one of the newest technologies to emerge in the market place is LightSwitch – a technology that is well suited for utility type applications. Sometimes you don't need an enterprise type application and that means LightSwitch may be a good option for you.

Dashboards are one of the most powerful decision-making tools available in the workplace today. Managers and executives can quickly see a display of key metrics and then begin drilling into areas that they perceive to be a problem.

Let us show you the potential power of creating dashboards for your company!
