Consulting Engagements
Whether you need an expert on-demand or a full-service project team, Archer Professional Services will get you to your goal.
Through Archer Professional Services engagements, our highly skilled consultants will work with your staff to build easy-to-use solutions for automating your business processes. We offer four consulting approaches to provide you with the right level of service based on the nature of your project and your specific needs. Whichever approach is right for your organization, you can count on the knowledge and experience of Archer’s Professional Services team to help you maximize your investment in Archer solutions.
Expert Services Right When You Need Them
If your organization is building or tailoring solutions through the Archer SmartSuite Framework and you need an extra resource to move your project across the finish line, take advantage of the Archer Expert On-Demand service. For a period of time that you specify, an experienced, certified Archer consultant will work with your team to build applications, configure workflow processes, generate reports, design user-specific dashboards or any other Archer task you need help to complete. Archer’s Expert On-Demand approach is ideal for point-in-time support or small-scale initiatives.
Design Services That Turn Your Vision into Reality
With the Archer Rapid Design service, an Archer solution architect will work with you to design and prototype Archer solutions while transferring key knowledge to your staff and sharing best practices based on real-world experience. Using this engagement approach, we can rapidly develop and implement a plan to tailor Archer’s out-of-the-box solutions to your unique processes and methodologies, or we can build a proof of concept to demonstrate the value that a custom solution could provide to your organization. Archer’s Rapid Design approach is ideal when the end product is a working prototype and your time is limited.
Flexible Services That Adjust to Your Needs
If you are looking for consulting services that can be nimble and iterative throughout the project lifecycle, take advantage of the Archer Agile service. This approach gives you the freedom to refine the project scope and deliverables as your needs change without the formal documentation associated with a more traditional phased approach. Using the rich feature set of the Archer SmartSuite Framework, our Professional Services team can rapidly adjust solution configuration to meet your evolving needs. Archer’s Agile approach is ideal when your outcomes are defined and you need to quickly show progress and incorporate feedback into a working solution.
Traditional Services Built on a Proven Methodology
Through Archer’s Traditional consulting services, our skilled Professional Services team will assist you with identifying your business needs and goals, designing a custom solution to address your requirements, and developing and executing a detailed plan for building and deploying the solution. Whether you need our assistance at every phase of the project or just one phase, you can count on a standard, proven approach to solution design and system integration, field-tested by Archer’s Fortune 1000 clients. Archer’s Traditional approach is ideal for large-scale, longer-term enterprise deployments for a broad user community.
