Many companies today have business problems that stem from inefficient or non-standardized business processes. Processes that may have worked in the past are not able to keep up with the pace of change within the organization today. Holt, Sheets and Associates works with many businesses to review and develop business processes that focus on business outcomes, not tasks. By doing this, we use workflow analysis to examine every process in the workplace to identify opportunities to improve performance and quality, reduce cost and achieve organizational goals. Processes are simplified, leading to fewer stages, fewer tasks and fewer dependencies.

In using our methodology, our clients are able to easily identify opportunities for significant change and achieve the outcomes they require.

For more information on ways to align your strategies, processes, people and technologies, please contact Holt, Sheets & Associates. We have people with the knowledge and experience you need to succeed.

Project Program Management

Holt, Sheets and Associates is a strategic management consulting firm specializing in Project Program Management, establishment of Project Management Office (PMO) and IT Organization Development and Optimization. At Holt, Sheets & Associates, we attribute our success to the relationship that we have with our clients and the understanding that we are only as good as our last engagement.

Over the last ten years, we have seen a dramatic shift in the way business is done. The key element to this shift is in the way project management has been implemented and supported within many different types of organizations. We have seen industries that were considered "non-project driven" become "project driven." As a result of this shift, companies want to become more knowledgeable in project management and how it can be implemented within their organization using "best practices."

Holt, Sheets & Associates has always believed in using "best practices" in everything that we do. Based upon this notion, we have adopted the Project Management Institutes policies as "best practices." Our project program management delivery and PMO implementation is based upon the Project Management Bodies of Knowledge (PMBOK).

Our Project Program Management services allow our clients to focus on their operations, while we deliver projects on time, on budget and within scope. We ensure that the "end product" supports our clients' corporate goals and objectives.

Retainer Services

Holt, Sheets and Associates is committed to long term, partnership-based relationships with our clients. To support that commitment, we maintain a knowledge base and pool of senior resources with expertise in Enterprise Systems & Data Architecture, Business Process Re-engineering, Business & IT Strategy Alignment, Program & Project Management, Packaged Systems Selection & Implementation and Custom Application Development.

Many of our clients do not wish to maintain this level of expertise internally. In addition, they are often unable to predict precisely when and to what extent such expertise will be required. A retainer arrangement allows our resources to stay adequately engaged with our clients, so they are ready when specific needs arise. The benefits to our clients include:

1. Better cost management by outsourcing expert resources and only using them as required
2. Expedited access to senior resources with internal knowledge of their organization
3. On-going outside perspective and ready-access to a multi-industry knowledge base

Systems Architecture

Building successful enterprise-wide information systems can be a daunting task for any business. Rarely are systems implemented on time or on budget. Many projects fail completely and are scrapped, resulting in a complete financial loss. Other systems that are put into production fail to meet the business' information needs.

Holt, Sheets and Associates consultants and system architects have a proven track record of successful system implementations in a variety of industry and government applications. Through years of experience, we have developed an approach and methodology to implementation projects. Our methods are defined, yet flexible to adapt to any industry and any project, whether the right solution calls for customization and integration of existing systems or the construction of a brand new system from the ground up. Our experts start with understanding your business practices and data needs. Those data requirements and business rules are translated into the blueprints of the optimal system architecture for your business. From those blueprints, our experienced analysts and developers will build, test and implement a successful enterprise system.
