Strategic Opportunity AssessmentProfessional Services can help you to evaluate your organization and find ways to optimize your visualization processes that will increase your ROI. The Strategic Opportunity Assessment (SOA) blends the insights of your executives and managers with the outside perspective of the Autodesk Professional Services team of highly qualified, experienced business and technology consultants. It is a custom-tailored, diagnostic process wherein we work with you to uncover, assess, quantify and prioritize your visualization opportunities within the framework of your strategic goals. The SOA uses a proven, objective methodology to develop specific and actionable recommendations that will help you improve efficiencies, implement industry best practices, and optimize existing resources. How It Works
Over twenty years of experience supporting the design workflow in both the automotive and consumer products markets has enabled Autodesk to develop the SOA analytical model. This model evaluates nine key, interdependent dimensions that impact visualization-centric organizations: 
Each of these nine dimensions, in turn, has sub-areas that are evaluated. Evaluation takes place primarily via interviews with key stakeholders, information-gathering workshops, and on-site research. BenefitsAn Autodesk Strategic Opportunity Assessment delivers: - Roadmap to Optimal Workflows—The SOA process involves a detailed examination of your organization's people, processes, tools and environment. This granular look at numerous key areas reveals which optimizations will result in the greatest overall benefits.
- Discovery of New Value Propositions—Not only does the SOA take the "microscopic" approach to understanding your visualization workflows, it also gives you the broad-scope perspective that comes from evaluating all aspects of your business and comparing results against corporate goals and industry standards. This "big picture" perspective often uncovers new value propositions that can be leveraged to enhance efficiency, drive innovation, and augment ROI.
- Enhanced Decision-Making—Initiatives proposed by the SOA are prioritized based on value/ROI, ease of implementation, savings potential and cost of implementation—making it easier to set a course toward systematic and rapid delivery of value without the risk of over-investment.
