BAC's proven Day One Ready Engagement Delivery Process ensures all of our engagements come in on time and on budget.

Our professionals begin by jointly developing a project charter or business case with our client's key project personnel . This document is normally about 20-25 pages in length and describes the Business Need, Benefits, Critical Success Factors, Measures of Success, Approach, Scope, Deliverables, Cost Estimates, Project Control Strategies, a Work Breakdown Structure and a Communications and Issue Resolution Plan. It defines the total scope of work that must be done.

We then collectively sit down at the project inception and jointly pre-approve the work to be done by both our clients people and BAC resources as both teams are assigned tasks in the project plan. We both pre-approve the plan and move forward with a two week tactical plan that we will update weekly. At the end of the first week, we have a project status meeting. We openly discuss our progress to date and review joint activities. If all is in order, we both sign off on the previous weeks work, and that status report is attached to your weekly invoice. We then layout the work to be done in the next two weeks both our clients people and BAC people and we jointly pre-approve the work. And so on through successful, on-time, on-budget project completion.

 

PROJECT MANAGEMENT

The biggest risk of any business or technology initiative is ineffective project management. BAC approaches this problem on multiple fronts to ensure our projects come in on time and under budget.

First and foremost, our staff project managers are trained PMP Certified. Furthermore, we use the tools that we deploy. We also adhere to 7 critical success factors for a successful project:

1. Business-driven methodology and project management  

2. Clear vision and planning

3. Committed management support & sponsorship

4. Data management and quality

5. Mapping solutions to user requirements

6. Performance considerations

7. Robust and expandable framework.

BAC PMs are renowned throughout the industry for being laser focused, committed, and Day One Ready.

 

CUSTOM APPLICATION DEVELOPMENT

BAC believes application outsourcing isn’t about what you can subtract from a business. It’s about what you can add. Through application outsourcing, we industrialize application development, maintenance and support to align IT investments with a client’s strategic imperatives and can reduce costs by as much as 50 percent. Application outsourcing can create new business value through optimization of application portfolios, improved ROI and decreased total cost of ownership—all while improving quality and increasing productivity.

Our broad development skills span current development platforms as well as beta technologies from Microsoft, Oracle, DB2, DB400, Sybase, Java, Business Objects, IBM COGNOS, Crystal Reports, and others.

The BAC Development Center located in suburban Atlanta, Georgia has built and delivered global applications since its inception in 1989. The application development/programming teams work in a rapid application or agile development mode ensuring immediate response to our client needs. This approach provides superior quality combined with cost efficiency while providing a U.S. alternative to offshore jobs.

Our View

"Knowing what happened is no longer adequate. Leaders need to know what is happening now, what is likely to happen next and what actions they should take.”

According to Gartner:

Because of lack of information, processes, and tools, through 2012, more than 35 percent of the top 5,000 global companies will regularly fail to make insightful decisions about significant changes in their business and markets.  

By 2012, business units will control at least 40 percent of the total budget for business intelligence.  

By 2012, one-third of analytic applications applied to business processes will be delivered through coarse-grained application mashups
