PEA provides a wide variety of custom consulting services to meet diverse needs. All consulting is done directly by us partners, and between us we bring no less than 30 person-years of IT industry experience to the table. What is more, our experience is truly holistic. Not only have we have delivered dozens of "20,000-feet" strategic consulting assignments to CIOs at Fortune 1000 firms, we are also passionate hands-on programmers. This means we can advise the CIO before lunch on the ROI of an enterprise-wide performance management strategy, speak to your pre-sales folks after lunch on the optimal go-to-market strategy for a niche PE service, and then roll up our sleeves after tea to review Loadrunner scripts or a complex piece of Java code through the evening.

Here is a small sample of the kinds of consulting assignments we take up. To find out if we can help address your specific pain points, please get in touch with us!

Methodological Advice

Whether you are capturing performance requirements, sizing servers, designing a performance test strategy or deciphering the results of one, we can help. We bring scientific, quantitative methods to each of these aspects of your performance engineering lifecycle and show how they can dramatically improve the way you build performance into your end-product. What's more, our focus on cross-platform techniques means that you can use these learnings on practically any hardware or software platform you might care to work on.

Proactive Remote Monitoring

You have a working system but are worried about how it will scale with increasing business volumes? Relax – with PEA’s remote monitoring and analysis service you will be able to proactively identify performance risks well before they materialize. We will set up a metrics reporting program for your application or website, that allows us to receive crucial performance-related metrics on an ongoing basis. Our selection of metrics allows us to identify potential bottlenecks even before they have become bottlenecks!

Organization Setup

Planning to set up a Performance Center of Excellence? Or an Independent Performance Testing (Validation) Service? We can help you avoid mistakes that most organizations make when they attempt to define the objectives, techniques, deliverables and work processes of such units, whether it has to do with the way funds are budgeted, or the way load test scripts are written.

Pre-Sales Support

Preparing a multi-million dollar proposal for a client? Worried about the nature of performance SLAs that you are asked to put into you proposal? We have been there and done that. Call us to help you prepare the performance-related aspects of your proposal and see the difference it makes.
