IT Strategy Consulting
Information technology today is a critical function in the enterprise. IT is not only a supporting function, helping to automate routine tasks and promoting process efficiency: It has also become integrated into the products and services of many industries. Even organizations that do not consider themselves “high-tech” are increasingly leveraging IT for digital transformation and as a core element of their emerging business models.
Yet, in many companies, business leaders only manage IT as a technical function. The IT systems, IT organization, and IT processes may be designed well from a technical perspective but poorly aligned from a business perspective. This can be the result of changes in business direction, sudden or long-term growth, acquisitions, or competitive disruption that create dissonance between what the business needs and what IT is providing.
Our IT Planning Services are designed to:
- Support business objectives and initiatives as they evolve.
- Ensure compliance with regulations and requirements for your industry.
- Identify and close critical security and capability gaps.
- Maximize scalability to keep pace with growth, while minimizing TCO.
Scope of an IT Strategy
A complete IT strategy covers the following areas, which our consultants can selectively tailor according to your needs:
IT Applications Portfolio:
the business applications that the organization will utilize in support of business processes. These commonly include ERP, CRM, HR/HCM, business intelligence/analytics, and a wide variety of industry-specific systems.
IT Infrastructure:
The technical architecture of hardware, operating systems, databases, end-user computing platforms, communications, and facilities. This also includes the use of newer cloud platforms to replace on-premises IT infrastructure and systems.
IT Service Management:
decisions concerning how and where IT services should be delivered and by whom, whether by internal IT workgroups or by outsourcing or managed services providers.
IT Organizational Design:
IT is not just a matter of technology–it is also about people. Our IT strategic planning services also include evaluation of current skills and staffing levels, identification of skills gaps, and designing the optimal IT organizational structure to carry out the road map. If needed, we can also assist in the recruiting process for new IT personnel.
IT Management Best Practices:
IT has its internal processes, which should utilize proven best practices. These include best practices for IT governance, IT financial management, IT operations, IT security and risk management, applications development, and innovation.
