IT Program Management
TKC Consulting Group helps government agencies manage information technology programs and ensure that they meet government requirements.
Program Planning
Effective planning is the best way to minimize program risk and ensure that programs and systems are implemented on time and within budget. We leverage our extensive experience in managing large IT programs to develop program plans, resource estimates, and detailed schedules that minimize risk. We analyze requirements and reengineer approaches using new processes and technologies, survey markets, assess systems, and analyze the economics of emerging technologies.
Technology Assessments and Analysis of Alternatives
Effective use of scarce agency financial and staff resources requires agencies to explore all potential approaches for meeting functional requirements. We are experienced in technology research and assessments, and utilize well-defined processes to assist agencies in evaluating a range of alternatives and to select and document the most effective alternative for their requirements.
Risk Assessments
Today's IT initiatives are fast-paced, complex, highly visible, and often risky. We help managers assess and mitigate program risks, regardless of their stage in the system.
IT Acquisition Support
We provide comprehensive acquisition support to our clients and have broad expertise in developing requests for proposals, source selection plans, and technical, management, cost, and past performance evaluation plans.
