The state of the subject area where the information system will be implemented is analyzed. That is, the organization that ordered the service of IT consulting.

The needs for business process automation, information environment creation, decision support systems, optimization and standardization of work technologies of managers and specialists are identified.

Management analysis shows what is hampering efficiency, whether there is a vacuum or duplication of functions, whether there are coordination mechanisms, how effective the executive vertical and horizontal links are, whether balanced powers and responsibilities, and so on.

The purpose of management analysis is to provide information to the client to make management decisions, choose development options, determine strategic priorities.

We build the following models: structural, functional, simulation and a number of others that allow us to describe the current state - "As is".

The "as is" model can be created on the basis of studying the documentation (job descriptions, regulations on the company, orders, reports), questionnaires and surveys of employees of the company and other sources.

Model analysis can easily identify unnecessary, unmanageable, redundant, or inefficient functions. The model gives a holistic view of the system as a whole and the ability to understand the relationship of all components.

Correction of shortcomings, redirection of information and material flows leads to the creation of a model "as will be" (TO-BE). Based on this model, a data model and then an information system are designed.

The client develops a technical task, demonstrating his understanding of the concept. Based on the task, the consultant forms a technical proposal, which shows the conceptual model of the information system taking into account the needs of the client. Through further discussions, the consultant and the client find a common solution.

Requirements and technical tasks for elements of the information system are developed.

The estimate and necessary organizational changes for realization of model "As will be" are defined.

Implementation of administrative actions to launch the project (bringing to the staff of the organization the necessary orders and instructions), the formation of the project team, the creation of a system of incentives, the organization of working conditions.

There are changes in the organizational structure, the system of duties and responsibilities of employees, organizational regulations of their activities. Training and retraining are provided.

At this stage, there is training of end users, preparation of documentation and full verification of the system.

After putting the system into commercial operation and stabilizing the work of units, the system is improved and the necessary improvements are determined.

Information consulting provides not just automation of business processes of the organization, but the creation of a special virtual environment, a kind of business noosphere.
