What is the HealthCheck?
The HealthCheck is a structured technical review of all the elements that make up your end to end Enterprise Systems environment, incorporating the application, the underlying infrastructure and any 3rd party products/tools.

How can it help?

• Do you have performance or stability issues causing production outages or delays?
• Are you managing an implementation, and require confirmation of production readiness?
• Do you want to reduce the technical cost of running your Enterprise Systems?
• Are you looking to scale your deployment and wish to understand the impacts and hot spots?

If any of the above apply, the Enterprise Systems HealthCheck will help.

How does it work?
The review is structured around a standard Technical Landscape depicting the technical components commonly found as part of an end-to-end Enterprise Systems technical environment. Relevant components are agreed to determine the scope of the HealthCheck.

The HealthCheck then consists of a top down architectural assessment and a bottom up detailed analysis of the individual technical components to identify challenges and determine how to address them.

What do I get?
The key output from the review is a detailed HealthCheck report, which includes:

• Assessment – a statement of the systems state of health at a component level.
• Correction – recommendations for immediate changes to address specific issues.
• Direction – a road map detailing specific actions to address future challenges.

How long does it take?
The review length will vary dependent on the number components in scope, though on average it normally takes 3-4 weeks from the initial site visit to completion of the final report.
