News America Marketing (NAM) selects ThinkFast Solutions
for their proven expertise in custom application
delivery
News America
Marketing (a News Corp. company) relies on thought
leadership provided by ThinkFast Solutions technical
experts, so that their enterprise applications closely
align with revised business processes.
ThinkFast was retained by NAM in June 2005 to lead a
series of projects aimed at reducing the number of
disparate "Legacy" systems from fifteen to one system
based on efficient operating processes. This
multi-year project includes the following components:
Cost / Benefit Analysis
Process Reengineering
Functional Requirements Definition
Technical Requirements Definition
Enterprise Architecture Review / Standardization
Application Design and Build
User Acceptance Testing
Production Support
Results:
The Cost Benefit Analysis for this project revealed near
term paybacks for the project that were substantial
enough to fund all future development. As such, a
phased implementation approach was devised that allowed
the organization to benefit from increased profit within
the first 12 months of the engagement. With this
annuity in place the team is now in the midst of
Application Build for the remaining pieces of
functionality. Scheduled to complete in 2009, this
project will provide increased revenue and profitability
by increasing visibility into customer needs, reduced
production costs, and decreased billing cycles.
