We are not only aware of the importance of Information Services and Related Technology (ISRT) to organisations and the reliance organisations are placing on it, but also of the risks and operational hazards associated with it, and the difficulties management experiences in identifying and managing these risks and hazards.

We also know that the effective and efficient functioning of ISRT is a prerequisite to optimise the organisation’s return on investment. We provide a range of services to organisations, assisting management in effectively discharging their responsibilities. These services include:

ISRT Process Review and Improvement

Evaluation of existing ISRT processes and practices to effectively identify risks, weaknesses and inefficiencies.

Application Controls Evaluation

PBMS follows a top-down business process approach that considers effectiveness and efficiency of all sub-processes and activities, including related risks and mitigating controls.

Project Management

Proper project management is critical for successful project implementation, and to this extent we independently evaluate whether proper project management processes are in place before development and implementation, and followed throughout the project.

Application Development and Implementation

Application development should follow approved application development standards, whether developed internally or by standards setting organisations. Independent review is often needed, firstly of the adequacy of the standards themselves, and secondly to independently ensure these standards are being followed throughout the application development process, from its initiation phase through its post-implementation review phase.

Policies and Procedures

Our services regarding policies and procedures include both revision of existing policies and procedures for adequacy, and the development of new policies and procedures according to acceptable standards.

Management Information Systems

Management is reliant on the information they receive to make informed strategic and operational decisions. PBMS evaluates whether your MIS allows for the provision of accurate, complete and timely management information. Remember, the worst time to discover your management information lacked integrity is after the fact.

Business Continuity & Disaster Recovery Planning

PBMS understands the confusion that exists regarding contingency plans, crisis management plans, disaster recovery plans, business continuity plans, and many more. We eliminate all confusion and assist organisations in developing appropriate plans, or review completed plans.
