IT Consulting Professionals
Mercury is unique among consulting firms in that our information technology professionals are not general advisors with a high-level understanding of fleet solutions or a technologist with some basic understanding of fleet operations. Our technology professionals have deep experience managing fleet operations, as well as extensive experience assisting public and private organizations acquire, implement and support fleet technologies (e.g., fleet management information systems, fuel management solutions, telematics, routing and scheduling solutions, dispatch products, motor pool management systems, mobile applications, and business intelligence resources). Our technology consultants are further experienced through their hands-on support of clients and products hosted in Mercury’s enterprise Cloud, and remote system administration of on-premise fleet solutions. It is this combination of fleet management and technology experience that enables us to offer an array of technology services not available from other consulting or technology firms.
Examples of work that Mercury’s professionals have performed in this area for fleet operators include:
- Fit-Gap Assessments – A comparison of one or more systems’ functional capabilities to operational needs, product usability, and cost of ownership. Fit-Gap assessments frequently include comparing fleet systems, ERP (JD Edwards, PeopleSoft, SAP, Sungard, and Sunflower), and EAM systems (Maximo and Infor).
- Solution Acquisition – Definition of functional and technical specifications and implementation services.
- Turn-key System Implementation Services – Deployment of a new fleet solution or re-deployment of an existing product. Implementation services include system installation and configuration, data cleansing and migration, interface definition and development, report and performance metric development, role-based training, and project management.
