Is your development process fit for purpose?
Would you like to know how well your software systems support your business?
How much of the cost of new development is simply wasted?
A free Business Healthcheck from SMS will show you how to get maximum return from your software budgets.
Coming out of recession, money is still likely to be tight, and a new and more rigorous scrutiny applied to budgets. Business users are increasingly dissatisfied with the outcomes of software projects. They are demanding more for their money.
So IT is being asked to do more, with less. Our Business Healthcheck will offer you an insight into how you can square this circle.
