Digital Advisory

Our Digital Advisory practice creates and sustains value at the intersection of clients' people and technology strategies. Our services and tools help companies optimize business performance, and our extensive industry and subject matters expertise helps our clients realize strong competitive advantage.

Subject Matter Expertise

We work closely with the client to thoroughly evaluate their current technology strategy and infrastructure, detailing existing systems, data structures, and governance processes. We highlight key functional or talent gaps, evaluate reporting practices and formats for wasteful redundancies and conflicts, document current software versions, and communicate metrics to outline solutions’ utilization. Lastly, a final report is produced, containing future state recommendations to provide a baseline in streamlining processes, improving systems and talent utilization, and generating a more production flow of relevant and timely information.

We have worked with Critical Path Advisors for a couple of years now where they have provided product back office support and development activities for a specific system we had developed. I’ve always found them to be highly responsive, professional, user focused and quick to react and resolve issues. Their people are multi-skilled enabling issues to be solved easily and I’ve had good feedback from the end users concerned. Working with Critical Path Advisors has enabled us to focus on our core activities safe in the knowledge that the users have been well looked after.
