You Have Your Evaluation - What Now?

The difference between information and intelligence is intelligence drives action.

 

Now that you’ve evaluated the good and the bad of your system, it’s time to make some choices and take action. The VoiceVision® evaluation spotlights 14 areas of your system. Based on the evaluation, you have some choices to make.

 

Let’s look at the options.

✔

Ignore recommendations, stay the course

There may be multiple reasons for this. Maybe you think we’re crazy. You’re entitled to your opinion. Maybe you’d like to make the suggested changes, but you don’t have the budget. You can, however, get on the record with your CTO and your CFO, stating that your system could be improved in cost-effective ways. Change doesn’t always happen overnight, but you need to start.

✔

Make internal recommendations

With your evaluation in hand, begin the work of your course correction. This can be challenging, and most likely you can’t do it alone. Use the VoiceVision® Evaluation to support your case with management to improve your system and help your business. The evaluation can add credibility to your calls for action.

✔

Get a 2nd opinion

Your system is critical to the long-term health of your business. The VoiceVision® Evaluation is supported by empirical evidence, years of experience, and by testimony from your own team members. You'll find our arguments supported in writing in the report, but in the end it’s an opinion about what’s right and what’s wrong with your system. We encourage our customers to seek out additional guidance and opinions regarding their systems and the way to optimize their resources. We’re confident that informed customers will see that our conclusions are well-informed and supported by accepted best practices.

✔

Implement recommendations

You’re ready to take action and improve your system. Vision Point Systems is ready to assist you with development, architecture, and testing efforts. We are ready to help in any case where our staff’s expertise matches your needs, but we’re also smart enough to know we aren’t masters of all technologies. In cases where we do not engage clients on primary development work, we can help with vendor selection, project management, and customer-vendor liason work.

The important step to take upon receiving your VoiceVision® Evaluation is to move forward improving your system, whether that means replacing, revamping, or retooling your system or processes. If your system needs significant correction, consider your organization officially normal! If you’re in the proud minority of organizations who are walking the walk when it comes to best practices, use the VoiceVision® Evaluation to certify the success of your efforts and ensure that your business group is recognized for its hard work and success!
