Why Ascendant?
- Organizational Change Focus – The principle risk factor compromising improvement efforts is often the underestimation of resistance to change that occurs. Ascendant leverages a transformation methodology, we call APEX, which is based on organizational change best practices and addresses the risk head-on. Our methodology guides us toward collectively identifying adoption risks before they arise and toward employing proven mitigation strategies that speed the adoption process.
- IBM Rational Partnership & Expertise –Ascendant has a close and long standing partnership with IBM Rational as a software reseller and service provider. Ascendant is a member of Rational’s global Business Partner Advisory Council and maintains key relationships within Rational’s product, support, sales and services organizations. Our technical team is called upon globally to take on the heavy lifting of complex Rational implementations.
- Collaborating/Partnering Execution Model – Ascendant has experience working with numerous companies in many industries under diverse circumstances. Through our approach, we seek to collaborate with our customers and their partners. When we join your team, we quickly integrate and work alongside to achieve a common goal. Having facilitated numerous software engineering transformation efforts, Ascendant understands the “people” dynamics that underlie these efforts, and brings to bear organizational change best practices that build effective teams in difficult environments.
