What We Do
TSI has worked with IT organizations at diverse institutions, including large research universities, community colleges and liberal arts institutions. We have helped IT organizations solve some of the toughest and most complex challenges, like replacing legacy systems seamlessly, and handling operational inefficiencies. Our expert consultants are prepared to help your IT organization transform in the following areas:
IT Strategy There has been a recent shift in the amount of attention and visibility that higher education IT organizations are receiving as a result of virtual learning and new technologies. A strong information technology strategy will incorporate the mission, vision, goals, and initiatives of the IT organization and the larger institution. The key to a strong IT strategy is continuous improvement and sustainability. Transforming Solutions will help your IT organization form a strategy rooted in continuous improvement by using new IT models and trends that align with your institution’s overall strategic plan.
Business Intelligence TSI has a very deep understanding of the approach to take to assess and improve data and business intelligence practices. Our higher education consultants will help develop a consolidated data warehouse and business intelligence (BI) tool for your university that would create a consistent security model across your institution.
Project and Program (or Transformation) Management Offices TSI has helped many organizations to create or enhance their internal project, program and transformation management office function.
We have our own tools, templates, techniques and training to add to or augment those you are already using. We have a pragmatic approach to help us make the gains that are most important to your organization.
Technology Assessment In collaboration with IT staff, TSI can advise on data architecture to show gaps between the current state and to map vision for future state architecture. Our consultants will develop a technology inventory to assess existing tools and applications. We will then recommend remediation measures and best practices to help move your business forward.
System Evaluation and Selection TSI performs dozens of vendor evaluations and technology assessments each year. As a vendor agnostic consulting firm, we help our clients unbiasedly select software vendors to replace their legacy systems with a system that meets their business needs. From developing a business case, to gathering functional and technical requirements, to vendor demonstrations and selection, TSI will facilitate each step of the process.
