Information Technology Consulting

Through the application of advanced technology, African businesses and government organizations have begun addressing and resolving their 21st century challenge of running modern and efficient operations. African businesses now recognize that they can drive eons of value out of their business by utilizing new technology, and have begun to fine-tune their operations using technology to meet their respective business targets and mission-critical objectives.

Some of these businesses and organizations that already had IT systems in place grew and merged over time, without upgrading or streamlining their systems, resulting in a mishmash of IT systems and platforms that become very difficult to manage over time. Even worse, some African organizations do not have any IT Systems in place to begin with, but badly need IT Systems implemented to give seriously needed leverage and value to their outdated modus operandi.

Gracie Davis provides our clients with highly skilled and seasoned technology consultants who harbor deep domain knowledge in their respective areas of technology expertise. We help our clients develop, implement and align IT systems & strategies to changes in business direction, business processes, and corporate strategy. Our proven problem-solving approach, combined with our high acumen in technology and client insight, provides us with the unique ability to design, develop, and implement optimal technology solutions for our clients.

Gracie Davis offers services that cut across the entire IT services spectrum; our areas of expertise in technology consulting services include:

Systems & Applications Development – Our systems and applications development technology consulting services include the development of custom front-end & back-end systems, integrated systems and software used to streamline and automate business processes, improve client service, solve business and mission requirements, and share information effectively and securely. Some of these systems include E-Commerce Web Application systems, E-Monitoring/Surveillance systems, Customer Relationship Management (CRM) Systems, Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Systems, and Relational Database Management (RDBMS) Systems such as Oracle, SQL-Server, My-SQL and so on.

IT Audit Services – As businesses grow, and the role of information technology becomes more critical to the survival of businesses, several questions begin to emerge in the minds of business owners – Will the systems be available for their business at all times when required? Will the information provided by the system always be accurate, reliable, and timely? Our Information System Audit practice can determine if there are threats to the continued availability of information assets, if the integrity of data is protected and if adequate measures have been taken to ensure that data remains confidential. We offer various audit programs (derived from various frameworks such as COBIT-5 and ISACA) some of which include security audits, application system audits, operations & process audits and so on.

IT Systems Training and Development – The skills of yesteryears don’t quite cut it in today’s rapidly advancing technological world. Continuous training is necessary to catch up (and keep up) with these advances, especially in Africa. At Gracie Davis we recognize these truisms, which explains why we’ve setup a technology training apparatus that allows our numerous global technology partners and us (all cross-certified industry instructors) to provide top quality across the spectrum IT training for our clients and their employees.

IT Strategy and Innovation services – We apply technology strategy, management, and analysis as well as Enterprise Architecture (EA) design expertise to resolve our clients’ strategic technology problems. We pay serious attention to emerging technologies, as technical innovation is increasingly central to our client’s success, and are able to advise our clients on the appropriate technology management tools to use, especially considering the unpredictability and rapid growth of economies on the African continent.
