On Site Engineering Assessment:

The On-Site assessment was developed to accomplish four major objectives:

	1)	Confirm “Voice-Directed Work” technology as a “functional fit” relative to your functional requirements;
	2)	Determine system requirements/components for purposes of determining system ballpark costs, and
	3)	Address business case (ROI) issues, and
	4)	Any other issues that could potentially impact the successful deployment of a “Voice-Directed Work” system.

Our onsite team will include an engineer with detailed voice experience as well as an individual tasked to assist your team in developing a project justification. In short, given today’s demanding work environment, we do not want to waste anyone’s time on a project that does meet the required functional specifications or does not provide a business case that is compelling enough to obtain funding.

Outlined below is a typical agenda for an On-Site Assessment. As you would imagine, we would want to meet with all of the potential stakeholders.


On-Site Portion/Half to Full Day Proposed Agenda:

1. Kick Off Meeting – All Participants

• Introductions & Brief Vendor Overview
• Introduce “Voice-Directed” Technology via short CD Viewing, if applicable
• Gather, review & confirm information with emphasis on project goals & major concerns
• Confirm day’s activities/meetings
  
  
  

2. Tour of facility

      Key Objectives: Insure that Speech Interface Design has a very thorough understanding of your:

• Current processes with both strengths and weaknesses,
• How the proposed voice system would be deployed, and
• View work areas for ambient factors (noise, temperature, etc.)

3. System Discussions:

      Meet with the appropriate IT personnel to:

• Review the data types, numbering systems and the ways in which your workers currently complete their tasks
• Learn the relationships between data items, dependencies, validations, and issues that make data accurate and relevant
• Review the RF environment if applicable
• Understand system interface(s) requirements & other IT requirements

4. Financial Considerations: Typically Ops Personnel and Finance

• ROI Discussions

5. End of Day Wrap Up Session:

      “Verbal” Summation and Confirmation of Findings, including:

• Project Goals, Success Metrics/ROI & Key Considerations
• High Level Discussion of Proposed Voice System
• Mutually Agreeable Next Steps to Address Open Issues

6. Deliverable:

      Approximately one week after the on-site visit, an Executive Summary of the onsite visit will be       submitted.
