Feasibility Study Reports

The Highlands Consulting Group, LLC has assisted numerous clients with successfully developing Feasibility Study Reports (FSRs) that have been approved previously by the California Department of Finance and now by the California Office of the State Chief Information Officer (OCIO). Whether you need external approval from OCIO, internal Agency or Department approval, or even a less formal document for progressing a project in your division, our core approach includes the following elements:

  • Develop the Baseline Analysis
  • Conduct Informal Market Research
  • Develop the Business Case
  • Develop the Proposed Solution and Alternatives
  • Document the Project Management Plan
  • Identify project risk and mitigation strategies
  • Document current and anticipated costs
  • Develop the Information Technology Procurement Plan (ITPP)

We work closely with the client and coordinate with the California Office of the State Chief Information Officer to align the timing to review the FSR with the annual Budget Change Proposal (BCP) process.
