Tangled Web: Getting Your Company Unstuck
from Sticky Web Projects
We've all been there: Everything is cruising along just fine and – BAM! – some
unforeseen event, such as the loss of a key employee or technology flaw,
throws the breaks on a major Web project. What to do? Keep
cool. Because in today's technological landscape, things can
get complicated very fast.
GT Alliance, a Colorado-based IT consulting and training firm, is a resource
for organizations wanting to understand the Web's full range of capabilities
in a business environment.
"In the latter half of the nineties we saw a lot of companies throwing
unreasonable amounts of money at any IT project or product that promised 'e-Business' or 'Web-integration,'" said
GT Alliance President, Derrick Kuhn. "While the technical advances
of this time period have ultimately resulted in very usable, cutting-edge
technologies, there are many IT organizations dealing with issues leftover
from acquiring individual 'Web-capable' applications without
a long-term plan as to how they will fit in to the overall information
architecture of the enterprise. This is generally the most common root
cause of delayed Web projects."
GT Alliance is able to help clients choose the right mix of solutions,
professional services and training based on any number of factors including:
existing technology investments, resource skill sets and budgets.
How GT Alliance can help:
Consulting, Architecture and Planning
You don't start building a house without a blueprint as to how you
want the different systems, such as plumbing and electricity, to work with
the overall design. The same is true for a Web project. While
this seems simple, it is the most often overlooked component.
"We strive to deliver exact solutions to your specific needs," said
Kuhn. "We do not force cookie-cutter, one size fits all solutions." GT
Alliance begins a consulting engagement with an architectural review to
insure the technologies involved are supporting the overall business goals
for the project.
Design, Development and Integration
GT Alliances offers a full range of Web application development services
including; graphic design, programming and backend systems integration. The
management team, designers and developers work together throughout the
course of a project to verify that the necessary steps are taking place
at the appropriate times while eliminating surprises.
Professional Development and Mentoring
Classroom Training
GT Alliance offers a complete technology training solutions for any individual
or company. Their certified instructors use real world experience
and state-of-the-art equipment to ensure that you receive the best technology
training available.
Mentoring
Often developers and designers are looking for a specific skill-setwhere
they need to focus on a certain process that requires a lot of detail,
rather than spending time evolving knowledge on an entire technology. GT
Alliance instructors can use project mentoring, which teaches technology
on real-life projects.
While all these approaches – consulting, development, training and
mentoring – can help free any tangled Web project, they also speak
to how GT Alliance views their clients: as peers, not just customers. To
GT Alliance it's about building relationships, not just fixing problems.
To begin finding these unique solutions, GT Alliance offers a free information
gathering session where they promise to bring clarity and forward momentum
to even the most stuck project. To find out how GT Alliance can get
