FIT Home FIT Information System Specification and Selection Assistance

FIT has a group of information systems and technology (IT) professionals who have twenty or more years of experience in information systems planning, specification, selection, and installation in the process and manufacturing industries, along with a complete set of templates that greatly reduced time taken for information specification and selection initiatives.

FIT can assist at many junctures. We can help with initial project definition, business process improvement and justification. Or simply mentor the technical specification and selection process. We initially determine requirements, writing specifications using the FIT Software Specifications Template Set©, taking requirements from several sources. If a vendor has not been selected, we can use the FIT Request for Information Template©, filling in specifications, to qualify a set of contending suppliers. We then use the FIT Commercial Systems Analysis Templates©, weighted with internal client preferences, to assist in an unbiased vendor selection, an excerpt of which appears below.



Once a commercial systems supplier is selected, FIT can assist clients to narrow and fully define the scope, and establish the project plan, including staffing and timelines for implementation. An example of the Table of Contents of the Scope Document appears below.



FIT’s services structure is aligned so that a client can use as much or as little assistance from FIT as he wishes. All of the services from FIT can be expanded, reduced or segmented, as appropriate to each situation. As may be apparent from the name of the company, we strive to facilitate a client’s organization through improvement or change, always with an eye to impact on the bottom line. We look to guide our clients toward improved business processes and support systems, optimizing their efficiency and productivity, and gaining maximum return from systems changes that make up the business support infrastructure. We specialize in assisting clients with business and technological changes that can have a positive impact on profitability and position in the world market.
