Strategic Technical Consulting
Technology
organizations are often operational entities
whose inner workings are known only to those who
can master the “secret handshake”.
Unfortunately, the complexities of your
organization’s technical infrastructure and the
speed with which the infrastructure changes
often makes it difficult for management to
evaluate whether or not the company’s technical
resources are organized and operating to the
benefit of your business. In addition,
these same characteristics create difficulty for
the investment community interested in valuing
companies for transactions.
Challenges
Many organizations wonder if they are on the
right road technologically speaking and
uncertainty surrounding this question often
leads to organizational conflict that negatively
influences service levels, product development
efforts and product delivery schedules. All too
often, management asks, “What are those tech guys
doing?” while wondering whether the technology
team is focused on efforts that will contribute
to the success of the company.
Conversely, your technology team may be
capable of meeting the Company’s
needs but suffers from inappropriate
organizational structure and a lack of structured reports that
serve to help the company understand both
workloads and projects loadings. Do you know the
status of all programs in Engineering?
If you are concerned about getting the best
efforts from your Technology Team and would
benefit from a qualified, insightful
recommendation, contact TeleMapics at your
convenience.
We provide
Technical due diligence and competitive
analysis services. If you are considering the merger or acquisition
of a technology company in the industry segments
we cover, let us assist you in creating a
successful transaction. Buying a
business involves a decision process that
assesses many factors. Unfortunately, the
areas that generate most post-deal
difficulties are often related to
misunderstanding of the technology, inadequate
assumptions on the operational capabilities of
the acquired company and failure to discover
material risks during due diligence. Let
us help you "look under the hood" of your
potential transaction to ensure that it will
provide your company a sustainable competitive
advantage.

Message from Mike Dobson
President of TeleMapics:
I have helped
manage companies in various
stages of growth and found that today’s
successful businesses are so complex and
fast paced that business leaders are well served
by using consultants to provide a “fresh” view
of the business.
During my career, I managed teams spending
millions of dollars on technical developments
and felt that it was prudent to ask independent,
external experts if they felt that our team had
chosen the right path in respect to the
initiatives that we were considering.
If all success required was smart people, almost
every technology company would become a success.
Unfortunately, many companies, especially
start-ups, take talented, extremely intelligent
people and place them in managerial or
operational positions for which they are
entirely and inappropriately prepared.
Having the
right team member in a position that exploits
and benefits from their skill is a basic key to
successfully managing a business. Your company’s
organizational chart should be based on
requirements, skill sets and personalities, not
just “smarts”. Sometimes it takes a capable
“outside set of eyes” to understand the
“disconnects” in a business that must be
rectified before a company can ride the road to
success.
