The year 1997 marked the release of Dorian Welles' latest product - SIMMS (Systems Implementation Metrics). Developed over several years, SIMMS is specifically designed to parallel IT systems deployment, providing an integrated monitoring and feedback system which supports IT systems implementation.

SIMMS takes the headache out of IT systems deployment, ensuring:

      - An integrated approach to IT Systems Deployment
      - Up-to-date status information to senior management at every stage IT Systems Deployment
      - Continuous improvement of the deployment process
      - End-user 'buy-in' of the new IT system
      - Effective management of the IT system beyond its deployment
      - Early detection of deployment problems

SIMMS is designed of large scale systems deployment and has been successfully used on projects involving hundreds of training staff and thousands of IT system users.

SIMMS is essential for any organisation wanting to ensure their technology is used to its full capacity resulting in maximum benefit to its bottom line. Using advanced monitoring and research techniques SIMMS provides qualitative and quantitative information including deployment KPI's, root cause analysis, functionality and systems usage data, staff skills and training audits and functionality studies

SIMMS has been successfully used on several of Telstra's "Mission Critical" IT Systems, and resulted in savings in training and system deployment costs of over two million dollars. Telstra's Systems Deployment Manager Ms Kate Gorman describes SIMMS as, "the single most important initiative in bring our new IT systems in on time and on budget."

Importantly Dorian Welles can provide SIMMS as a total stand-alone package or bundled as part of an information technology service provider's overall product.

Finally, SIMMS is flexible. It can be provided on an ad hoc basis to address a specific IT deployment need, or as part of a post-deployment review.
