Assessment & Optimization Services

OscilloSoft Assessment & Optimization Services deliver transformative benefits from improvements in human capital business processes, service delivery, and technology.

Technology and Information Architecture Assessment - human capital and workforce information and associated technology applications can be one of the largest and most complex series of systems and processes found within an organization.  Most often, these applications have been procured, managed, and grown independently with disparate technologies and architectures, resulting in information silos, lack of available data for decision making, and high costs of maintenance.

A properly defined and governed technology and information architecture program delivers the ability to integrate and provide transactional and strategic data in an integrated fashion across vendors, applications and repositories to reduce costs, increase data standards, and drive business outcomes. 

The Technology and Information Architecture Assessment is conducted using a suite of diagnostic guides leading to interviews and workshops to review existing technologies and information architecture across human capital applications and the delivery of a  clear roadmap for achieving measurable short-term and long-term operational and technology improvements including the creation of a set of data flows, data definitions, policies and roles that define the use and flow of enterprise information used across applications and processes.
