New Assessment Solution Exposes
Technology Risks and Benefits

Innovative service gives customers the ability to assess the feasibility of custom software development prior to investing in a single line of code.

Chicago, April 2008 / --
As part of its efforts to arm companies with effective IT strategy solutions, Chicago Software Solutions is now offering DeepDive, a new approach to technology assessment. DeepDive gives product developers, investors, startups, and established companies a set of powerful tools for scrutinizing the potential costs and approaches to developing tech.

“New, custom, and complex technologies can be unnecessarily expensive and risky to implement – even for tech-savvy organizations who have done their best to plan and execute, “ said Dillon Gilhooley, Director of Client Development for Chicago Software Solutions. “DeepDive systematically reduces that risk. It shows where strategies for technology development hold hidden pitfalls as well as opportunities, and it pinpoints the insights needed for effective assessment and planning. It is a decision maker’s tool.”

The DeepDive product is a group of targeted methodologies applied over a series of sessions with the customer. The analysis is driven by the customer’s bottom-line objectives: product development, innovation, growth enablement, risk reduction, enhanced productivity, or the like. Each phase culminates in a clear deliverable for breaking down the initiative’s cost and complexity.

DeepDive is modular and scalable to the customer’s request. The service’s main phases include customized combinations of the following:

• Goal / use analysis
• Main component analysis
• Logic and functionalities detail
• Useful technologies reporting
• Competitive landscape
• SWOT analysis
• Risk areas reporting
• Approach and options reporting
• Estimate identification
• Timeline definition
• Visual mockups

DeepDive is available now for businesses looking to stay competitive through better technology management. For more information about DeepDive, email info@chicagoIT.com.
