What CDS Provides

A practical implementation experience that fits your IT environment

CDS provides the following services to successfully deploy a comprehensive process improvement program in your organization:

Current State/Gap Analysis
Helps you understand the “as-is” state of various IT practices, and discovers gaps relative to the desired model/standard. Under Gap Analysis we discover improvement opportunities and recommend corresponding changes.
Process Improvement Planning (PIP)
Our PIP methodology includes 3 key phases:

  • Strategize: We assess the health of the process improvement by studying various inputs and identifying a process’s desired state with reference to models/standards.
  • Prioritize: Includes objectives prioritization, identifying quick-wins, evaluating a pilot approach, and outlining plans.
  • Plan: Based on the output of the two phases above, we draw up tactical plans, which include estimating effort, resources/budgets identification, and drawing up timelines.
Process Definition
We help you develop a Quality Management framework that covers SDLC, IT Project Management, Information Security/Business Continuity Management, IT Controls, Vendor Management, IT Service Management, and related IT processes.
Measurement Framework
Measurement is the mechanism by which an organization gains insight into its performance. CDS proposes a “Goal-driven Software Measurement Framework” approach to define and deploy the measurement framework that works best in your organization.
Training
Training is a critical element of the deployment phase. At CDS, we educate your trainers to teach required skills and deploy new practices.
Implementation Support
We partner with clients in their internal process improvement initiatives to simplify implementation and reduce pain points.
Audits and Assessments
Our consultants are experienced in conducting Audits and Assessments, which serve as qualitative indicators across the IT organization.
Change Management
CDS’s consultants help client organizations manage change by deploying appropriate proactive measures, such as winning senior management commitment, launching communication campaigns, creating success stories, developing FAQs and web-pages, and more.
