Even the most mature IT development process may result in systems that fail to
deliver the expected results, exceed original cost estimates or experience
major delays. In order to determine whether investments have achieved expected
benefits on time and within budget, current federal guidance directs that an
independent Post Implementation Review (PIR) be performed for all major capital
investments as part of the Evaluate phase of the Capital Planning and
Investment Control (CPIC) process.
Typically performed on investments six to eighteen months after implementation,
a PIR is an important diagnostic tool for determining the effectiveness and
efficiency of specific capital investments as well as the agency's overall
capital planning and acquisition processes. However, despite the potential long
term benefits to an agency of such reviews, for obvious reasons, PIRs are often
met with resistance from project staff of investments under review. Therefore,
it is important that the PIR process be performed as objectively and
transparently as possible with findings and recommendations well documented and
clearly supported by the facts. NETE provides Federal agencies with just such a
capability.
NETE's staff of experts has developed the methods and tools required to conduct
an efficient, sound PIR that provides maximum benefit to the agency but with
minimal impact on the projects reviewed.
Our PIR process is designed to be portable and customizable. Whether our
clients are State or Federal government agencies, our process can be tailored
to the specific needs of the agency and the investment under review. With years
of experience delivering all aspects of CPIC to civilian and Department of
Defense agencies, our staff has the knowledge and experience to seamlessly
integrate our own proven procedures with the preexisting CPIC processes of our
clients. This helps to insure that PIRs are performed consistent with the
original objectives, facts and assumptions upon which the investment was first
approved and promotes the concept that the review is a natural and necessary
extension of the agency's systems management life cycle.
We believe that our blending of experience, methodology, and technology
provides our clients with PIRs that truly represent a practical, best in value,
capability that provides objective and credible findings and realistic and
actionable recommendations .
