Business
Consultancy

Our business consultants are the 'grey-hairs' of their sector, drawing upon many years of business and IT experience to provide insightful analysis and guidance on business matters requiring both business and technical solutions.

Document and Email Management

Many businesses spend an inordinate amount of staff time in managing paper, when they should be using their resources more effectively. Many new and developing document management technologies can be applied to transform the way you access important business information. HUGE savings in the time spent on these activities are possible.

KnowHow can advise you how to improve your business through better management of documents and emails, improvement of internal offices systems and processes, and through deployment of scanning and document management technologies. KnowHow's consultants can help you to assess your document management problems and requirements, then identify the most appropriate solutions and implement them for you.

Knowledge Management

Eighty percent of an organization’s business content is unstructured information in files, messages, memos, reports, and other documents created in different formats and stored in many locations. This flood of information begs to be put in context, to be filtered and made available to those who need it in a format that is meaningful to them. Add to this the need to include structured data from business systems, CRM and ERP packages, legacy data stores and custom databases, as well as external information sources such as subscription portals and the challenge grows.

The correct application of sound knowledge management practices and procedures in your business can increase the reuse of information and increase the capability and responsiveness of your staff.  KnowHow can advise you how to improve the information made available to your knowledge workers and how to solve your knowledge management problems.

Business Analysis

To provide the correct solutions to business issues and problems, analysis must be undertaken to identify the real issues. Conflicting requirements need to be resolved, and requirements prioritised. Finally, the requirements need to be documented concisely in a way that all parties can easily understand and agree upon.

KnowHow consultants have extensive experience in business analysis and can conduct business analysis assignments for you, either for a business improvement activity, or as part of a technology implementation project. 

Software Evaluation and Selection

Do you need software for your business, but have no time to engage in the complex and time-consuming product analysis needed to ensure you select the most appropriate one?

KnowHow has developed a proven methodology for evaluating and selecting the most appropriate software. Our methodology sets out clearly the basis of assessment and includes client approvals and verifications, to ensure that all analysis and assessment steps are made transparent and conducted as if you were undertaking the assessment yourself.

Feasibility Studies and Business Case Preparation

To complete a feasibility study or prepare a business case for a software implementation project, extensive knowledge of the requirements and the benefits of the software being considered is required, and a substantial amount of effort has to be applied to develop return on investment estimates that you can be confident in.

KnowHow has extensive experience of requirements analysis and of document management and knowledge management software implementation projects. We have completed a number of feasibility studies and prepared some highly complex business cases for Multi-million pund projects, which we have presented at board level.
