New Shoreham Consulting

New Shoreham Consulting helps organizations get more value out of their technology investments. After the energy and focus it takes to deploy new technology capabilities, users and functions are too often left to fend for themselves in discovering and adapting to the changes in processes and work practices needed to realize the benefits of efficiency, effectiveness, and innovation that were promised in the business cases used to justify the investments.

In particular, New Shoreham focuses on two themes; business intelligence/information analytics and Enterprise 2.0. In Business Intelligence and Information Analytics the large-scale investments in data warehouses and new reporting and analytical tools have benefited a relatively small number of power users. They work with organizations on how to get from power users to power use. In Enterprise, the key features are a mix of technologies designed to improve general purpose communications and collaboration activities within the enterprise and between the enterprise and its business partners.
