In this blog series, we'll explore the who, what, why, when, where, and how of technology consulting, focusing on video, audio, and data technologies. We'll show you how consulting experts elevate your building's environment, making it safer, more engaging, and future-ready. Follow along as we break down the different aspects of technology consulting to help you better understand what consultants bring to new building, renovation, and technology upgrade projects. https://lnkd.in/gdrr2S_Z #technologyconsulting

Building strong relationships and good communication with potential clients is crucial for architects. To nurture potential clients and convert them, it's important to stay in regular contact. While automation has its place, personal communication is key when building trust. Regular email updates, explaining your workflow, costs, timelines, and potential delays, can help clients understand their projects better and trust that you're on their side throughout the entire process. #Architects #ClientRelations #BuildingTrust #Communication #ProjectManagement

🌟 Elevating Client Experiences Through Solutions Engineering Expertise In the ever-evolving landscape of technology, the bridge between innovative tech solutions and business success is not built by chance. It's constructed through strategic foresight, deep technical understanding, and, most crucially, Solutions Engineering. As a Leader building Solutions Engineering Teams, I've had the privilege of collaborating with diverse teams to tailor technology that doesn’t just fit, but propels business objectives forward. Here are a few insights I’ve gained along the way: Proactive Problem-Solving: Anticipating challenges and engineering solutions ahead of time can transform potential obstacles into stepping stones for innovation. At the same time, we are actually building stronger Client relationships through Technical Advocacy. Client-Centric Approach: The core of Solutions Engineering lies in deeply understanding client needs and responding with bespoke solutions that are as unique as the challenges they address. A key part of this is creatively adapting existing product features to solve current pain points. Technical Agility: Adaptability in technology is key; the ability to navigate and integrate complex systems gives businesses a competitive edge that is hard to replicate. A perfect example for this would be to leverage private deployments so the solutions feels tailored without disrupting Product vision/roadmap. Each project has reinforced my belief in the transformative power of Solutions Engineering. It's not just about making technology work; it's about making it work towards your strategic goals. Are you leveraging the full potential of Solutions Engineering to meet your business objectives? Let's connect and explore how we can transform challenges into opportunities with the right solutions. #SolutionsEngineering #BusinessTechnology #InnovationLeadership #TechSolutions

Business doesn't care about technologies engineers use. I've heard similar statements so many times that I for sure should have learnt this. But still sometimes my engineering tendencies carry me away from the business value. Once I maintained one legacy application for one of my old clients. At one point, a client asked me how I would do a bigger modernisation of this application. At first I remembered the need to provide business value. And tried to figure out what exactly the client wanted to achieve with this modernisation. I asked them several times, but the client kept answering that they wanted to see my propositions. And here I have completely forgotten about providing business value. I described how I would apply new and modern technologies and architecture approaches. And how it would create a solid basis for future improvements. It's no surprise that the client did not accept this plan, citing that it was too long and unaffordable. But during this conversation I finally heard what is the client's problem with the application - performance. After this I was able to make a proposal, which was focused on client needs - improving performance. It did include using modern frameworks and technologies. But not for the sake of it, but to improve the performance of the application. The client liked this approach much better, accepted it, and I got this deal. This situation was another lesson to me about the importance of providing business value to clients and customers. Hopefully now I will not forget it again. How did you learn about the importance of providing business value and not concentrating on technologies? #softwareengineering #businessvalue

𝗦𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘂𝗹𝗮𝗿 𝗣𝘂𝗿𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗠𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗔𝗿𝗰𝗵𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗧𝗲𝗮𝗺𝘀 Architect teams struggle to drive strategic initiatives without a unified purpose and mission. How can you establish a clear, shared purpose and mission so crucial for aligning efforts and achieving goals? Here are 3 strategies to help architect teams work together towards common goals: 𝟭/ 𝗖𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗮 𝗖𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗮𝗯𝗼𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗠𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 Bring together representatives from all architect roles to collaboratively create a mission statement. Reflect on the shared goals, values, and vision of the entire architecture team. Mission statements are clear, concise, and inspiring. Working together on the mission statement helps everyone feel included and committed to the shared purpose. 𝟮/ 𝗔𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗻 𝗠𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗢𝗿𝗴𝗮𝗻𝗶𝘇𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗚𝗼𝗮𝗹𝘀 Don't blindly copy, but make sure that the mission of the architect teams aligns with organization goals. Review strategic objectives and incorporate them into the architecture mission statement. This alignment helps your work support organization objectives and demonstrates the value of the architecture function. 𝟯/ 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗠𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 Regularly communicate the mission statement to all members of the architecture teams and other stakeholders. Repeat the mission in meetings, newsletters, and internal communications. Highlight how the mission guides daily work and decision-making processes. Consistent communication helps keep the mission top-of-mind and ensures everyone works towards the same goals.   A collaborative mission statement, aligned with organizational goals, and consistently communicated will build a singular purpose and mission for architect teams. Your efforts will be aligned and contribute to the organization's overall success. ________ 👍 Hit Like if you enjoyed this. ♻️ Repost for your network.  Follow Kevin Donovan for more. ________ 🚀 Join the IT Architects' Hub!

In the dizzying world of architecture, it's easy to feel tangled in the web of regulatory compliance and documentation. When creativity is your bread and butter, nobody wants to choke on a chunk of red tape. The savior in this scenario? A Virtual Assistant (VA). Yes, you heard that right. Many assume the realm of virtual assistance is limited to answering calls or managing emails. But oh, what a bland misconception that is. When it comes to compliance and documentation, VAs can be the untapped resource every architect dreams of. Picture this: - Regulations and laws change constantly, and staying updated can feel like a full-time gig. VAs can track and manage these sniffing out updates that might throw a wrench in your blueprints. - Can anyone say "organization"? VAs place important documents in clouds of neat folders, accessible with just a click. Procrastination be gone. - Ever miss a deadline? Hand over your timelines. VAs are a stickler for schedules, ensuring nothing falls through the cracks. These VAs sound like a dream, right? But there's a step up, a secret weapon if you will—enter, the Virtual Systems Architect (VSA). With a VSA, not only does one get daily calenders and filled spreadsheets but a partner in long-term strategizing. It's like finding a backbone you never knew was missing. VSAs work on automation, optimizing workflows, and even create systems that run smoother than Sinatra's voice. They marry the art and science of business processes to actually liberate architects from recurring headaches. - Customized systems designed specifically to fit your business are crafted by VSAs. That means less time on nitty-gritty and more time fleshing out grand designs. - Automation takes the hustle out of side-tasks that feel more like a nuisance than work. Efficiency becomes your trusted co-pilot. Forget about living reactionarily to compliance changes, with proactive planning, surprises become a thing of the past. In building something remarkable, it's about playing smart, not just hard. Why fly solo amidst a storm when there are copilots available to assist? 😉 Uncover the beauty of delegation, amplify your capabilities, and dare to see how far your architectural endeavors can soar.
