ToolWatch-certified consultants

Besides implementation and training services, ToolWatch-certified consultants provide a variety of flexible supplemental services to help you get even more value from your ToolWatch investment. Our certified consultants offer a unique blend of operational knowledge, industry expertise and best-practices implementation experience to ensure that your goals are achieved on time and on budget. Just as important, they're experts in the ToolWatch system and its practical applications.

The supplemental consulting services listed below can be offered before, during and/or after going live on ToolWatch.

Data Migration Services: Over time, tool and materials data that are unmanaged become unusable or difficult to work with — especially when they are being merged from various sources. If you're planning on migrating to ToolWatch from legacy systems or spreadsheets, our experienced consultants can help maintain the integrity of your data, preventing you from having to clean up or reenter vast amounts of information into ToolWatch.

Custom Development and Custom Reports: Customization projects can involve changing existing functionality, creating entirely new functional areas or simply creating customized reports that yield the information you want, in the exact format you need.

Systems Integration: Our integration services enable you to access, manage and exploit data to make more-informed business decisions. Using Web services standards to connect business processes, systems and information, we can help you integrate your ToolWatch system with your accounting, project management, ERP or any other business application.

Business Process and Best-Practices Consulting: Implementing ToolWatch is not just about technology. It's about implementing processes and productivity improvements — and about preparing your organization for these changes. While our JumpStart implementation program includes a certain degree of business-process and best-practices consulting, some organizations feel that they need more extensive help in this area in order to ensure complete system adoption and proper usage across the enterprise.

The ToolWatch ROI Justification and Assessment Program (360° ROI): Our rigorous 360° ROI program will help you determine the potential short— and long-term impacts to your bottom line from your investment in ToolWatch. Through this program, our consultants can help provide the objective investment justification you require, establish a baseline for future ROI assessment and help you make any needed adjustments for additional performance improvements once you go live on ToolWatch.
