Initiate your journey with CHESA as we carefully evaluate your systems and workflows through our discovery and consulting process.
We start by actively listening to your team to capture user stories and define pain points.
Next we thoroughly survey and document your current technological landscape.
We then compile and analyze your data into readable stories, topologies, and diagrams.
Our Solutions Architects and Workflow Engineers ruminate over our results; thinking caps on.
In this phase we knead together the optimal mix of innovative platforms and creative technologies.
It all comes together in a comprehensive proposal delivered and presented to your key stakeholders.
At CHESA, we don’t bring a pre-packaged answer in search of a question. Our primary mission is to first understand your unique challenges and needs, and then architect the optimal solutions tailored to you.
We’re not beholden to any particular vendor or solution. This ensures you’ll get a candid, objective assessment of the most effective suite of solutions, unclouded by any hidden motives.
In today’s complex landscape, entrusting someone with your systems, assets, and inner business mechanisms is no small feat. We have experience serving discerning clients who require the highest levels of discretion, treating each engagement as if it were a classified operation.
Navigating an organization’s intricate hierarchy requires a versatile approach to engagement, one that resonates across a myriad of roles and personalities. We are multilingual in the language of your business—fluent in Editor, Producer, Post-Production Supervisor, Media Manager, CEO, CFO, Procurement, IT, and more! Years of hands-on experience equip us with the acumen to elicit vital insights from each group by communicating in a way that fosters comfort and dismantles barriers.
Recognizing that your organization’s needs will evolve, we ensure that our solutions not only meet your current requirements but also have the flexibility to adapt to future changes.
Our engagement doesn’t end once a solution is deployed. We believe in full transparency throughout the project lifecycle, and we stand by the efficacy of our solutions. Regular updates, reviews, and checkpoints are integrated into our approach to ensure we’re meeting and exceeding your expectations at all times.
