STARG8 MEDIA,The enabler paradigm designed to self-empower the dynamics of Internet presence in the competitive arena of global Web marketing.
|
STARG8 MEDIA™ differs from the "Web site" experience, by providing real-time interoperable control of media input.
STARG8 MEDIA™ sites incorporate advanced features that transcend the "Web site / Web Master" format giving you, the site owner, hands-on access to nexgen content input technology.
Additionally, the return on investment must be achievable in a matter of time for a new technology to receive the funding it needs.
How do you go about providing the economic justification of an eMatrixPortal™, especially given the current short-term returns demand of organizations?
Here are some actions that can be used to justify the project.
Identify User (s) – First, and foremost, you must understand who will use the portal. Make certain that the identified users are a part of a core functional area ( management, production, sales, finance, customer service, etc.) that provides a high value to the organization and offers many opportunities for improvements (low hanging fruit).
Build Support – Understand the responsibilty of your targeted group and identify key ops stakeholders. Make sure you understand the implications to the business of not curing their obsticiles
.
Identify project supporters who have a stake in the success of the project.
Begin building consensus on the goals of the Web portal.
Create a Shared Vision – How will the world be different when your solution is deployed?
What business value will be delivered?
Make sure that the value you identify is clearly aligned with the business and its goals. If it isn't, start over.
Articulate the vision as concisely as possible. In our experience, projects fail to provide tangible benefits because they have no clearly articulated vision that supports the overarching business objectives.
Document the Benefits – Clearly articulate the benefits that come from achieving the shared vision.
What are the costs of the status quo?
How will the STARG8 MEDIA™ increase efficiency, increase customer service, increase revenues or otherwise provide business value?
Look for opportunities to collaborate electronically to reduce travel expenses and save time.
Look for business processes with lots of opportunity for improvement that can be reworked or even eliminated. These justifications can be tricky because they are not always easily quantified.
More than 50 percent of the costs of a STARG8 MEDIA™ solution will be justified primarily on soft, or qualitative, benefits.
We creatively explore ways of making soft benefits firmer, however we are careful to avoid setting user expectations that cannot be realized.
Select an Appropriate Tool – Choose portal tools that best meets your business requirements. Weigh the various needs of your business with the functions and features available out of the box.
Choose a portal product that requires the least amount of custom development for as many of the desired features as possible. Be sure to keep a complete and accurate estimate of the costs.
Total cost of ownership is what you're trying to capture. Make sure you have included pre-deployment fees, maintenance and training costs in addition to the cost for development, quality assurance and deployment platforms.
As you begin evaluating technology tools, remember don't take your eye off the business! Repeat after me: "It's not about the technology, it's about the business." Make sure your technical team buys into this key idea. This is where many portal projects go awry.
Create an Iterative Plan – Break your vision into smaller, clearly defined iterations. Demonstrate how you plan to deliver the highest value functions early.
The initial development of an eMatrixPortal™ is typically focused on getting the portal product installed and available to the users, and using the out-of-the-box features of the portal quickly.
We can provide custom portal resolutions designed to your specific market focus.
Our intent is to increase your Web presence viability and maximize the online marketing value process, in providing "near future" robust interoperating Web site technology, at an investment level even "old economy" startups can afford to deploy ...today.
