Enterprise Solutions
In large data-intensive organizations, business processes are sometimes bogged down by independent silos of information and resulting "right hand doesn't know what the left land is doing" inefficiencies. Conversely, well designed enterprises can positively impact operations in a variety of ways—streamlining workflow by consolidating redundant data, enhancing continuity of records, and improving data storage and access without compromising security.
Understand first, then design.
Robust information technologies, stakeholders’ needs, and business processes and operations all intersect to form the foundation of enterprise architecture. IEM first identifies, then develops an understanding of how all components work and how they might work better—with goals of saving time and money, maximizing process efficiency, and producing more effective results—before any design work begins. We use our extensive experience and skills in software development and project management to design, direct, and develop mission-critical and scaleable enterprise applications as well as Web portals that weave together communities of Federal, state, and local users for national programs.
Synergies increase efficiencies, effectiveness.
IEM enterprise solutions streamline processes, reduce costs, and make customers function more effectively. Benefits are readily apparent in areas such as data/information storage, access, and retrieval; then, advantages are noticed later in areas of increased effectiveness and improved workflow. For example, in government, consider the advantages of consolidating or linking across multiple agencies the records of state residents for purposes of issuing, recording, and tracking licenses (driver’s or business/trade) as well as registrations (automobile and voter) and financial information (fees, taxes, fines, entitlements and special exemptions).
Customer-focused, risk-based approach.
IEM also recognizes that a comprehensive, well-constructed enterprise security posture is necessary for all organizations; it serves as the foundation for overall security design and implementation. IEM’s collaborative, customer-centric approach to identifying, measuring, documenting, and prioritizing risks is based on the security concepts of due diligence and defense in depth, the customer’s unique needs, current industry standards, and best practices.
