Process Implimentation
Our Licence Management frameworks and on site consultancy help you implement best practice licence management in the quickest and most effective cost manner. Utilising Itillion Software’s "SAM Essentials for Licence Management" we implement a best practice framework using MindManager. It contains a step by step guide to review your current processes against best practice to identify areas where improvements are needed or essential processes are missing. Project Management is simplified using the MindManager task controls and status flags. The visual process maps improve communication of the objectives, contents and status of the project with other IT personnel and management, additionally workflows specific to your own organisation are easily designed and added.
