mCOMMERCE CONSULTANCY AND INTEGRATION SERVICES

ICA offers a range of consulting services related to mCommerce, including:

Opportunity Assessment
The mCommerce opportunity assessment service offers companies a way to quickly identify and qualify potential mCommerce opportunities.

ICA consultants work with the customer to:
• Identify interactions between the business and their employees, customers and suppliers which are candidates for automation
• Prioritise these opportunities in terms of the potential business benefit they provide. The focus is on identifying the relative merits of each opportunity rather than the absolute benefits
• Identify the major components required to deliver each opportunity and their associated costs
• Re-assess the priorities of the opportunities based on their associated costs
• Develop a high level plan based on the prioritised opportunities that can be used as the basis for a business case

mCommerce Architecture and Integration Design
The mCommerce Architecture and Integration Design service results in a plan for businesses to implement mCommerce and to integrate it with existing services.

ICA consultants work with the customer to:
• Review the organisation’s existing technical and application architectures
• Review the existing use of middleware to expose business transactions and their suitability for use in a wireless environment
• Review the existing web services architectures including the extent of personalisation available
• Define mCommerce architecture including the services required for back-end integration and service delivery, the use of in-house or third party services and security considerations
• Identify potential products to deliver the architectural services

This architecture serves as a blueprint for the implementation of mCommerce.

Implementation Assistance
The mCommerce Implementation Assistance service is designed to assist customers or their solution providers with specialised services in mCommerce technologies.

ICA can provide this assistance in a number of ways:
• ICA consultants provide a high degree of knowledge and capability in mCommerce generally and our products specifically. These consultants can be deployed on a project to provide specific expertise or to participate as part of the project team.
• ICA can source and supply vendor consultants for large or complex projects. These consultants are typically sourced from other countries.
• ICA can provide turnkey implementation solutions for some customers. We assess the situation with the customer to determine the most appropriate way to deliver the solution.
