Consultancy Services
For over a decade, Mi has provided consultancy services to an impressive client list. Mi has a history of forming strategic partnerships with their clients, and the business systems analysis functions are at the heart of this arrangement.
Mi's consultancy team offer years of experience in the systemisation of insurance placing and claims systems. Being a configuration company by origin, Mi provides a consultancy service that not only listens to requirements but actively challenges and proactively suggests system practices.
Project Management
Mi has a reputation of delivering projects on time and to a fixed budget, a reputation that is a direct result of its project management abilities.
The advantage of being a SME is that Mi can afford to be flexible and agile in their approach to delivering projects. However certain processes are adopted in order to have greater control over projects. It is important to strike a balance between retaining more control over projects but also ensure that Mi can be flexible to accommodate clients' needs when necessary.
Mi has adopted a project methodology to deliver projects more effectively yet does not compromise Mi?s flexibility. The Mi project management methodology, based on PRINCE2, is split into 4 different stages of the project lifecycle which relate to 4 main processes adapted from the Prince2 methodology. These being, Start Up, Initiation, Delivery and Closure.
Each of these processes has different controls and project documents as outputs which help make the project more manageable.
Also, as suggested in A above, Mi Trader Studio allows Mi Limited to offer more Agile (collaborative) approach, whereby each constituent part of a product is collaboratively analysed and configured, i.e. Forms, Schema, Mapping, Rating, Documents etc.
Hosting Services
The Mi Trader platform and its numerous frameworks are provided to a customer base as either self-hosted solutions or adopting one of the Mi hosting options.
For enterprise solutions within the Mi hosting environment a dedicated hosting solution would be suggested, most likely with its own dedicated server racks. For clients who wish for an entry level hosting solution Mi's shared hosting environment allows for the provision of virtual space within a shared server environment.
Mi Limited's hosting and DR environments are hosted within Tier 3 data centres each with onsite 24/7 security, biometric access, CCTV monitoring and locked rack space.
