Case Studies

The results that L5 Source's resources have delivered range from large scale enterprise wide initiatives to departmental solutions.  Our consultants have engaged in large scale project management, software development, and IT strategy.

Enterprise Integration

A large utility required design, upgrade and integration of the company’s business systems and infrastructure, enabling the corporation to open its markets to competition in the deregulated industry segments of electric transmission, distribution and customer service.  An integrated solution valued at over $45 million was planned, designed and implemented, expediting decision making across new deregulated value chain delivering a seamless solution 12% under budget in an accelerated timeframe (18 months).

The approach established a cross-functional organization to perform custom applications development, integration of purchased packages, legacy systems updates, upgrades to call center infrastructure, implementation of new technology infrastructures, and deployment of e-business capabilities. 

Strategic partnerships were developed with key third parties to leverage industry expertise, off–the-shelf solutions, and services.

Data Management Framework

L5 Source developed a road map for a national vertically integrated full service ad-agency.  The client required integrated view of their customers’ data, working with repeatable processes in data standards, logical models, data warehousing infrastructure, and business intelligence capabilities.  These BI capabilities would be accessible to both the client’s employees as well as to their own customers through a secure connectivity platform.  L5 Source assisted the client in developing a detailed RFP that would allow the company to select a vendor providing key capabilities in a data management process and technology solution.

Architecture Blueprint

Developed a long range architecture blueprint for a large national retail and wholesale company.  The company was in a turnaround situation and required a more flexible and consistent way of making technology decisions and delivering IT capabilities to internal as well as external stakeholders.

Our solution enabled the firm to integrate for the first time, operating principles, business strategies, applications portfolio, technology infrastructure and data management into a strategic framework to maximize the return on technology investments.
