First DBS Ltd - Health Checks

Project Health Checks

Do you have a concern that your projects are running out of control? First DBS Ltd can provide you with peace of mind by conducting an audit and reality check on your project plans. This process typically takes 1 - 3 days. We provide you with both a presentation and a written report of the findings of the audit - both the areas where you are doing well and those which are cause for concern. We will highlight the problems and present solutions to them.

Post Implementation Audits and Project Reviews

First DBS is able to carry out Post Implementation Audits to check that you are receiving the business benefits you expected from your new system.

Project Reviews

Project Reviews can also be conducted to help you learn lessons from your recent project to improve your future performance.

Process and Methodology Reviews

Process and Methodology Reviews can be carried out to audit the efficiency of your business processes.

Data Model Health Checks

Any unnecessary complexity in a Data Model or Database Schema will inevitably cascade into much greater unnecessary complexity in software designed and built to access your database. First DBS Ltd believes in keeping things simple unless there are very good reasons indeed for making things more complicated.

Unfortunately, Data Models and Database Schemas tend to get "worn out" as additions are made to support new functionality. Well-intentioned changes, perhaps as expedients to speed up some query operation, all too often plant the seeds for later inconsistency, confusion for the human reader and update complexity.

Substantial overall cost savings can often be achieved by commissioning an occasional independent review by a fresh mind.
