Parsec provides a broad range of capabilities which are delivered via these simple packages:

Parsec OnRails

‘Rails’ has been coined as an IT term to get from point A to point
B, quickly, efficiently and predictably. Parsec OnRails specialises in delivering
fast, effective and easy to virtualise solutions in highly compressed time-scales.
Parsec uses advanced technology and high-calibre people to achieve better
results. The aim is always to embed teams within projects and work seamlessly
with clients.
Parsec OnRails can significantly de-risk a tough project
or deliver a less pressured project with higher confidence in reduced time.

Parsec OnRails functions on Java* and
Microsoft®.NET connection software.
In the Java world, OnRails heavily utilises the *Spring
Framework® and supporting Open Source technologies.
In the .NET world, the aim is to leverage Microsoft Business solutions
and use Microsoft’s powerful .NET technologies to create solutions in a
straightforward way with minimal coding of frameworks. The aim is always
to get straight to the logic, delivering extensive solutions that can be
extended when needed.
We have extensive experience utilising frameworks to ensure that project
budget is spent on business logic rather than copious ‘plumbing’.

Enterprise solutions

Parsec has extensive experience of conceptualizing, planning and
delivering large IT solutions.
This can be incredibly difficult. Anyone who suggests this is easy or risk
free is taking an optimistic world view.
Parsec believes delivery is only possible by recognizing core success drivers
in any project; know your requirements inside out, analyze until deeply
understood, use modelling, do not compromise on people, plan relentlessly,
be realistic about the technology and use off-the-shelf components where
feasible.
What is our approach?
All our people work end-to-end and in particular everyone is encouraged
to let their Inner-Analyst room to ask good questions.
Modelling is used where appropriate, but not over-used. Formal methods
aren’t a panacea but can add huge value if used well.
We throttle our own growth by only working with top-class people.
A plan is only valuable if it helps deliver a project. We focus on the
goal and ensure our teams recognize plans are tools, but need to be worked
with great skill to be useful.
Building on existing foundations, requirements are extensively researched
and documented. A programme/project plan is then developed to provide regular,
incremental deliverables.
Typically, our solutions fit into an existing environment of elements including
Content Management, Document Management, Workflow and other major enterprise
elements. Parsec runs both entire programmes and/or delivers specific projects.

Consulting

Parsec’s consultants are experienced specialists in their field.
Key consulting capabilities include:

• Programme management
• Project management
• Business transformation
• Project/programme rescue
• IT division management
• Enterprise wide virtualisation

Parsec’s long experience of delivering total programme/project management
runs from vision through business readiness and into successful long-term
deployment.
In the field of project transformation and rescue, Parsec is driven by
a desire to see IT done better. Parsec consultants have an ideological level
of thought on best practice but are driven by practical results. Parsec
does not pontificate ‘best practice’ or try to sell the thickest possible
consulting tome. Rather, consultants provide frank, pragmatic, relevant
results.
