Over two semesters, a group of 4th-year student-consultants will assess your business processes in order to identify an issue or opportunity for improvement using technology.

After identifying where an IT solution is needed, students will research and compare different solutions and vendors. They will go through an RFP process on your behalf, compare responses, and recommend the best solution.

Finally, the student group will identify any risks associated with the implementation and detail the change management processes needed.

Project scope can include, but is not limited to:

Sales/marketing gaps indicating a need for CRM solutions
Large volume of sales transactions data requiring a better system for tracking
Website performance issues indicating a need for a new hosting solution
