There are two challenging issues: first, know your environment well. Second, know your surrounding technology well.

Legacy-to-Web Migration

We understand the excitement about E-Commerce and Internet Business, but we believe your legacy systems should not be wasted. Instead, they can turn into Enterprise information feeders and co-exist with your web-based applications. We'll show you the economics whether to Internet or not.
Technology-to-Business Integration  and IT Preparedness

Risky Information Technology should NOT be deployed.  What? ...Well, you need to know how much risk is involved. We'll show you how to assess risk.  We have developed metrics to evaluate the information intensity of you business environment, and to tell you if you are under or over automated. Do you know what is Knowledge Management?  And Why is it crucial to Enterprise processing?  What do these new terms mean: Content Management, Content Delivery services, Information Ecology, Internet-Business, and Private Key Infrastructure.

We believe that Information Technology (IT), if planned and engineered right for your business environment, will "empower"  your company with a significant competitive edge and an array of tangible benefits.  To link  IT  to your company's  profitability and productivity consider  our specialists in the following hot technologies:

Electronic Commerce (EC),  E-Engineering and Assessment
Companies large and small are racing to revamp operations for the Internet Age. This is the Electronic Gold Rush. Adaptability is the recipe to survival and prosperity. The old business model does not work anymore. The first movers are grabbing the lion's share and getting better competitive position. Security technologies will empower EC with trusted business. We can help you integrate "Public Key Infrastructure (PKI)" in your environment.    

Knowledge Management (KM)
Knowledge Management is about knowledge sharing throughout the enterprise. If a company cannot preserve its intellectual properties, expertise and residual experience of its people, then it will NOT be able to compete and offer its value-added products to its customers.  KM requires the proper network infrastructure in order to share and save knowledge.  ICG will you blueprint your knowledge network.  

 Technology Assessment
Outrageous statistics show that many companies do not have a good grip or calculate technology's cost or contribution.  Companies are desperately trying to keep MIS from going MIA.  New technology deployment does not guarantee profitability, but the lack of a good assessment of your information resources will lead to mismanagement and berserk IT budget. Every company needs a good IT fitness program.

Distributed Systems Connectivity with Smart Mediating Bridges

No system can remain an Island anymore. How can you benefit from new technologies such as Client/Server, CORBA, Object-Oriented systems, Datamarts, and JAVA servlets,...How we can build pipelines of information to offer steady flow of information to consumers and business workers. We understand Middleware technologies and we will build the right mediating systems to achieve a cohesive network of information systems.
Empowering Clients with Research Grants 
The federal and state governments offer research grants to qualified applicants.  You can qualify for several Working with you to develop joint investment projects, consortia partnership, or/and ventures. This synergistic effort is becoming the trademark of the decade.
