Software procurement
Nicom IT uses a proprietary eight step software procurement methodology for determining the software that is right for you. We start by gathering requirements for your new system. This is a critical step and is accomplished by speaking with you and your staff in detail about what you hope to gain. Next, we will source potential suppliers who could potentially meet your requirements and then evaluate the data and assess each package based on your specifications. Nicom IT will then send out a request for proposals to narrow the field of vendors. Each proposal will be evaluated in detail and a business plan developed. Finally, a system is selected and the new software is implemented making it all work for you.
Data warehousing
Constructing a data warehouse requires a developer to analyze and anticipate entries into each field in advance of it being fully interactive.
