There is a high failure rate in data integration projects.  Most failures are not because the technology wasn't right, rather they can be traced to an inadequate business case, poor business requirements analysis, bad quality data, or security issues.  That's why Three Steps services are not about selling and implementing the latest and greatest Enterprise Service Bus (ESB). Instead we will help you make effective use of your existing technical infrastructure to achieve your business outcomes.  Three Steps offers a variety of services and engagement models to suit your requirements:

• Methodology: Based on very well established international standards and best practices, our data integration methodology is open and free for you to help yourself.  Use it to implement a business-driven SOA (Service Oriented Architecture) that will deliver genuine value, not one that is just a new technical wrapper on the same old problems.

• Services:  Whether you just want help getting started or you need support throughout your project lifecycle,  our expert staff can help.   Either pick a consultant for a simple day rate, or select from one of our fixed price consulting products.   

• Repository:  Dont re-invent the wheel!  For a simple monthly subscription, accelerate your projects by re-using stuff from our repository.  it contains reference data models and schema, a registry of useful services, technical components like XSLT stylesheets and lots of examples that you can follow.  

• Training:  Building capability within your own organisation is critical.  Our consultants always focus on developing your staff at the same time as doing their job.  But we also offer a selection of training classes from common building block skills (UML, XML, XSLT technologies) to higher level business analysis and methodology skills.
