Strategic Planning, Assessments & Studies

Organizations in both the private and public sectors are increasingly confronted with the need to manage change. Stable planning horizons of three to five years have been overtaken by the rapid introduction of new technology, new competition among organizations, and the dramatic elimination of former policy and regulatory constraints. CSC helps customers manage change by preparing assessments, studies, and analyses to help them identify and understand the forces driving the change and the strategic alternatives available to them.

Assessments, studies and analyses are integral to developing a sound management strategy - as well as a means to determining whether prior strategic decisions are still valid. Planning studies can assist in the gathering and analysis of critical information for an organization's strategic and operational plans, or can provide new perspectives for the team composing such plans. Technology assessments can identify the feasibility of new technologies, the market timing of competing technologies and products, and the advantages and disadvantages of alternative technological approaches to achieve an organization's business goals. Business process assessments can be used to optimize the application of a given technology for an organization.

CSC can help you make sound management decisions by preparing strategic analyses and assessments.

What We Offer || Success Stories

What We Offer

Capital Investment Planning
Planning for investments requires a comprehensive knowledge of finance, technology, and markets. CSC's technical personnel are seasoned system integrators, experienced with commercial-off-the-shelf technology for communications, information technology, and security. Our research is focused today on solving tomorrow's technical challenges. We can help you project market changes and trends and maximize use of your capital budget.

Resource Planning
Typically, resources include personnel, networked computer assets, and facilities. Effective use of these resources requires careful planning to minimize costs, maximize benefits, optimize schedules, and mitigate risks. Resource planning will help to keep costs for "care and feeding", training, capital depreciation, storage, power, lighting, etc., as low as possible.

Cost-Benefit Analysis
The first step in cost-benefit analysis is identifying and collecting information on the costs of the current system. The estimated cost of the planned system includes one time costs and annual expenses. Anticipated savings include costs which will be avoided and improved operating efficiencies; tangible and intangible benefits expected from the system are identified. We can help analyze the savings and benefits and costs, so you can determine if an acquisition is justified.

Productivity Analysis
Productivity analyses include work-flow analyses, time-management studies, and transactional auditing. CSC's modeling experts use these techniques to determine how our customers' business processes can become more efficient and effective. For the Department of Defense we have proposed methods to eliminate communications bottlenecks, add server capacity, and streamline procedures.

Success Stories

We're helping the General Services Administration to market products, services and solutions government-wide. We developed a Federal Wireless Marketing and Sales Plan which describes marketing and sales strategies to ensure success for the Federal Wireless Telecommunications Services contract.

When the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) needed help to increase airline safety, they turned to CSC's weather and integration experts. These personnel, along with pilots on our staff, developed the Direct User Access Terminal Service, a system that allows private pilots to access detailed weather information and file accurate flight plans via personal computers. As an advocate for the FAA, we promote safety in the skies, reduce weather risks, and increase the knowledge base that all pilots, both private and commercial, need regarding air traffic patterns.
