Instutional Knowledge Expediters (IKEs)

 

Expediting results and creating institutional knowledge – two key goals on every Essex project.

 

The Essex team has combined experience of working on literally hundreds of IT and informatics projects.   Rather than reinventing the wheel each time, Essex has captured that in-depth knowledge in a set of tools and templates we call IKEs – Institutional Knowledge Expediters.

 

IKEs serve two main purposes:
 

• Move the project forward in the most efficient and effective manner, by using tried and true techniques and tools, and avoiding unnecessary pitfalls and risks.  This approach provides additional value for our clients, because the projects run more smoothly and take less time to complete.
  
   

• Ensure the client is developing and retaining the institutional knowledge they need to use, run, and maintain the system or process after the Essex Team has completed its work.  Unlike many firms who strive to create customer dependence to ensure on-going billing, we strive to create customer independence, secure in the knowledge that this approach creates a long-term partnership and meets the goals of our scientific and business colleagues.
