Statistically speaking, more than 50% of web and software projects fail because they are not specifically useful for the company that adopted the solution. Further analysis suggests that lack of proper planning and lack of a clear understanding of the client's problems and needs is the foremost reason for these failed projects.

At Salient, we place a high priority on Strategic planning, our goals are to:

• Clearly understand our client's problems and needs
• Clearly understand their business processes and interaction with their customers
• Propose process improvements utilizing Internet Technology
• Determine the costs of the improvements
• Calculate the Return on Investment if the company chooses to integrate the proposed technology
• Document all of the above as a deliverable to our client

With such a plan in hand, our clients are able to make informed decision regarding the adoption of new Technology and have a clear picture of the costs and benefits associated with the same.

Cost

Typically we charge by the hour to create Strategic Plans. A Strategic Plan can cost as little as $500 and as much as $3000. The cost is related to the complexity of the company and the depth of their need.
