Services > Techie liaison

We have seen and heard of so many systems projects that have gone off the rails because of poor communication between the users and the techies.

It is a common failing of systems analysis and requirements definition. The systems people take what they believe they've heard and build, to their mind, a really neat, effective system. The users see the system for the first time and it doesn't make any sense to them at all. All the features the techies thought very attractive are inappropriate for the business.

The other side of the coin is a system design driven by the users who codify every quirk of the business case rather than analysing the problem domain and reducing and structuring the solution. This results in a complicated, unstructured, inflexible solution that is expensive to modify, difficult to maintain and near impossible to extend.

Wingate Financial Engineering can help prevent this situation! Our analysts know both systems and finance and can act as interpreter between your front and middle office staff and systems people.

We would welcome the opportunity to reduce your systems projects risk by applying our expertise. This can be in the form of writing requirements and/or system specifications to simply critiquing the output from your systems department.
