BMG can help you make
the right decisions by offering a wide range of computer consulting services designed
specifically for small to medium sized companies. From planning and control to
system implementation, our professional consultants can supplement your in-house skills
with a high level of expertise.
Planning and Control:
If you are considering computerization for the first
time or possibly upgrading your current system, there are a number of business goals you
will want to achieve. Whether you are striving for better decision support, more
efficient communications, or better use of human resources, success is best achieved with
a well thought out plan. Some of the planning and control services we offer include:
Long and Short-Range Computer System Strategic
Planning: Working closely with your company's executive management team, our
consultants will combine their expert knowledge of current and anticipated computer
products and technologies with industry and company-specific information in order to
develop a computer system strategy which will fully support your company's overall
business goals and objectives.
System Needs Analysis: Before any
significant investment is made in computer hardware or software, a comprehensive needs
analysis should be performed. BMG can assist you in determining your specific system
requirements, analyzing alternative solutions, performing cost/benefit and lease versus
buy analyses and evaluating implementation priority factors and risks.
System Effectiveness Reviews: Is your
computer system yielding the benefits you anticipated? Our professional consultants will
evaluate your company's utilization of computer system resources with the goal of
maximizing the system's benefits and return on investment.
Computer System Internal Control and Security
Reviews: As businesses place more reliance on computer-generated information,
the need for strong internal control and security procedures becomes critical. BMG
consultants are highly qualified to perform comprehensive computer system security and
internal control reviews. Each of the computer system reviews we undertake is
designed to meet the control guidelines which have set by the American Institute of
Certified Public Accountants.
System Implementation:
As you move ahead with your acquisition plans, dozens
of products and vendors will be vying for your business. Although the costs of
computer systems are still declining, if you make poor acquisition or implementation
decisions, you can quickly spend many times your initial investment. A careful
pre-acquisition evaluation of feasible automation alternatives can significantly limit the
risk of incurring these unexpected costs.
BMG has extensive technical resources available and a
thorough knowledge of product alternatives to assist you in making the best possible
acquisition decisions. Some of the system implementation services we offer include:
Computer Hardware and Software Recommendations:
Our consultants can assist you in evaluating available alternatives and provide
you with recommendations for products that will best meet your needs.
Vendor selection assistance and contract negotiation:
BMG can help you in selecting the most appropriate vendors, securing the best
prices for their products and services, and negotiating the most favorable contract
provisions.
System Installation Planning and Facilities
Management: We offer a full range of services to help you coordinate and
implement new systems efficiently and effectively and to keep them running that way.
System Implementation Support: The most
important piece of any computer installation. We provide overall management to the
implementation of your system, supplementing your existing staff with our experts where
and when needed to insure your system is installed on time and your personnel are
adequately trained.
The Service Bureau Solution:
For small businesses requiring extra training or
support, we provide service- bureau data processing in our office, using industry-specific
software programs. This intermediate step can prevent computer system failures for
companies with little or no prior computer experience. We can implement your
accounting application at our facility under a service bureau arrangement prior to its
installation at your location to ensure that your final installation and operation are
successful. We can also service your needs permanently, using industry-specific
software programs, as we have for many other companies.
If you have an immediate need, please contact us by
