Project
Management
By their nature projects
are one-off exercises, pulling together
disparate groups of people in order to bring
about change. Projects are harder to manage
than on-going activity.
MCP are accomplished
project managers, providing services designed
to improve performance on time and cost
and in line with quality requirements.
We design and implement
project management systems. We develop project
organisations, and set up and run project
offices.
Using powerful earned
value techniques, we provide an objective
assessment of project progress, verification
of work performed and reliable projections
of total cost and timescale. |

Consultancy
Consulting is a vital
element in MCP's range of services. Assignments
can be purely advisory or consist of advice
and implementation services. In either case
MCP takes care to ensure that all its services
support a business objective.
We undertake feasibility studies and requirements
analysis. We prepare specifications and
undertake system evaluation, appraisal and
selection.
We provide implementation and operational
support. MCP consultants work with
rather than for our clients to ensure understanding
and ownership of the solution from the outset.
MCP abides by the Code of Professional Conduct
maintained by the Institute of Management
Consultancy. This Code requires us to act
in the best interests of our clients and
not to disclose confidential material to
third parties. |

Data
Management
Business intelligence
solutions generally require a dedicated
database optimised for the application using
it. MCP provides advice on the type of database
required and the method of updating it.
We offer a database design service and advise
on the choice of data analysis and reporting
tools.
As data volumes increase the need for speed
and performance increases. MCP provides
a service to review legacy systems and update
them. We use analysis tools to indicate
deficiencies and improve performance through
techniques such as further indexing and
optimisation. |

Systems
Integration
As new systems are introduced,
there is often a major challenge to get
these to work with existing systems, to
share data and provide seamless solutions.
Many companies have legacy systems, which
still contain valuable information, but
are no longer compatible with the latest
technology. Also as the result of company
mergers and acquisitions there is often
a need to combine management information
from different systems and platforms.
MCP’s systems integration service
provides the technical know how to integrate
new systems with old and to transfer data
between disparate operating environments
to avoid repetitive input procedures and
duplication. |
