Technology Consulting

PreEmptive Solutions' products and services are solutions well used by technology consultants.  Following are areas where PreEmptive Solutions help technology consultants help their clients: 

1) Map Impact of Clients' Current Software Assets

Ironically, many organizations have poor visibility into how applications are actually used within their enterprise and whether they are meeting their originally defined objectives.  This prerequisite to ongoing technology strategy and resource allocation is directly addressed through PreEmptive's Runtime Intelligence Services (RIS).  As a key solution in a consulting team's arsenal, RIS provides consultants with the ability to create a rich map of software asset utilization across large and small enterprises.  This information feeds numerous projects ranging from IT portfolio analysis solutions, technology strategy, asset decomissioning, and new development projects to reengineering of related business processes.

2) Track Implementation & Ongoing Utilization Effectiveness

PreEmptive's solutions help client consulting firms differentiate considerably from their peers by enabling them to offer their own clients ongoing application analytics.  Simply implementing software is no longer enough for most organizations, as they've seen software projects fail to deliver expected benefits too many times.  Preemptive's RIS enables ongoing analysis and tracking of use, and with consulting firm enhancement, ongoing tracking to original objectives.

3) Create New Practices and/or Revenue Sources

In addition to creating their own unique solutions using our RIS solution, Preemptive's partners are also able to offer standard or customized versions of our existing solutions.  Technology consultants help clients implement, customize, and harvest information from these solutions:

• Software Evaluation: Firms help their clients convert more of those prospects that try any software they publish.
• Beta Evaluation: Track issues, usage patterns, and effectiveness of new features/functions.
• Focus Group: Assist clients gather data from a sample of their existing or prospective customers.
• Customer Experience: Help software publisher clients implement world class customer experience program, allowing them to track issues, utilization, and trends across broad groups from any who wish to participate.
• Product Improvement: Focused specifically on opportunities for improvement, this solution is tailored by consultants to evaluate discrete opportunities to improve software applications. 

4) Gain a Key Spot in the SaaS Ecosystem

Ever since SaaS first emerged, consultants and systems integrators have been looking for ways to participate in this rapidly emerging market.  The problem has been the nature of the applications and their relatively simple implementation requirements.  Without a strong implementation requirement, consultants have not found an effective way to drive similar revenue streams to those from installed applications.  PreEmptive partially fixes this problem in that while implementation is typically easy, most of these applications lack strong utilization data and the software publishers have a difficult time providing windows into utilization for their partners.  Using RIS, consulting firms can provide significant services to both the publishers (by building rich application utilization portals for their partner network) and SaaS clients (by helping them track and understand SaaS application utilization much more clearly).

5) Drive Revenue from Consulting Firm Applications

Consulting firms have long tried to take applications built for specific projects or internal use and convert them into commercial products.  For a wide range of reasons, most fail.  PreEmptive's instrumentation platform (Dotfuscator), RIS, and integrated Microsoft Software licensing solution (Microsoft SLP Services) combine to make turning these applications into revenue-producing assets much easier than ever before.  PreEmptive's solution set transforms your organization's ability to protect and monetize their software.  It's even possible to more effectively meter or merchandise these applications to your existing clients.  With PreEmptive, it's no longer an all-you-can-eat model since we provide you with a much more effective means to price by individual blocks of features and functions.
