CTA Services: Ideally,
the process of advising consists of five
phases: Phase
I is communications between the SMB and the CTA, with the goal
of identifying their needs - while discussing different possibilities.
Phase
II is the CTA's personal research of technologies as they apply
to the needs/projects as identified by the SMB and selecting a set of
probable solutions.
Phase
III is working with the SMB to determine the ideal solution
that will meet and/or exceed their requirements.
Phase
IV is working with various suppliers, discussing any
appropriate changes, and preparing an implementation plan for the SMB.
Phase
V is implementation of the new solution.
This phase will also address other key areas including training, support,
maintenance, etc.
