Finding a Solution
Future Medium carefully and efficiently identifies project requirements in order to establish a working proposal and a business match. The process of finding a suitable business match between customer and provider involves the careful analysis of requirements and then testing these against products, resources, and schedules.
Future Medium bring to the solution finding exercise a range of material:
- Experience "know how"
- Team "the resources"
- Creative "design portfolio"
- Strategic "thinking"
- Technical "development abilities"
- Data facilities "web infrastructure, hosting and backups"
- Innovation "research and development"
- Products "content management systems, applications, modules"
- Support "training and access to assistance"
The typical customer is able to present the following:
- Problem "business needs"
- Budget "buying power"
- Brand "identity, rules, positioning material"
- Ideas and hopes "expectations"
After ascertaining a suitable business fit Future Medium typically commences a specification gathering phase. The output from this process is the delivery of a workable proposal that addresses project particulars, outcomes, budgets, ongoing support issues, time schedules, branding requirements, target audience, usability acknowledgements and so forth.
The importance of this engagement process and the subsequent workable proposal is invaluable. Quite often the by exposing customers to years of know how and innovation expands and evolves their ideas into a leading solution for their industry.
The degree to which stakeholders of the customers' organisation are involved can be variable for each proposal. For those that wish to be heavily involved in determining a proposal and specification Future Medium opens up the process such that input is tested, validated, and then included by our senior developers and planners. In other cases these specifications are produced independently by Future Medium and presented to stakeholders as a final proposal document.
