Strategic Planning

BCG establishes a clear vision for the client’s enterprise information system based on the company’s direction and objectives, and we do this collaboratively with senior management, operations personnel, and accounting staff. The process focuses on the demands and expectations of internal and external customers. It also ensures good utilization of existing systems, and that all components of the planned information system are ultimately compatible. Burger Consulting Group then develops and delivers the implementation schedule and action plan, which will enable the client to obtain the most from their investment in information technology.
