Large or complex IT implementation programmes, or organisation structural changes are notoriously hard to implement successfully. Programmes all too often suffer from a familiar catalogue of under-achievement against cost, time and benefit targets. The difficulty for those that are the intended users and beneficiaries in visualising how things are intended to work as a system – and what their role is within it – is a major factor in consultation, design and implementation of enterprise systems.
By connecting our skills in modelling infrastructure systems, implementing complex programmes and envisioning information, we have created an interactive 3D world that acts as a visual representation of the client organisation’s processes, people, and technology. Through this unique user experience, all parties from programme designers and managers to system users can make enhanced, more informed decisions. They transition from static understanding of information to a visual, interactive environment.
Through this innovative solution, all parties have the clarity they need to understand the status, location and relationships that exist between their assets, and how they interact with them, in a clear and intuitive way. They can now quickly understand issues, identify respective owners, pinpoint areas of weakness and examine what-if scenarios.
Our approach to Contex-City adds value in the following areas:
• Simplifying complex components of a system that people have never genuinely understood into an intuitive and understandable language.
• Enhancing programme engagement, participation and conversation through moving imagery and an interactive model.
• Identifying the upstream and downstream relationships across the business and the consequences of change.
• Illustrating the barriers of uncoordinated data kept in isolation.
