IT Consulting
This practice focuses on IT strategic alignment, Governance, IT
architecture, and outsourcing process management.
Strategic Alignment
Through strategic alignment, we help organizations understand
their key business drivers and maxims* which in turn help develop
and define their IT Maxims, governance and strategies. Our
process enables the involvement of key executives to ensure clear
buy-in and the development of a business driven IT strategy.
A sound governance framework enables efficient and effective
decisions about IT investments. Our approach combines best
practices from multiple industries in different competitive and
regulatory environments.
We can facilitate the development and implementation of a
governance structure that brings together your top business
executives and IT executives for improved and quick response
decision making on IT issues and investments.
Program Management Office (PMO) setup
Our PMO setup knowledge brings to the table the experiences from
large global and national corporations. We help you put in
place a governance process, project management methodology, project
reviews processes, training, resource management, project evaluation
and selection processes. Some of the benefits of a PMO would
include having projects that are directly tied to strategies,
objective reviews of on-going projects, increase in project
effectiveness in meeting business objectives, and other benefits
that more close tie IT projects to business strategies.
IT Architecture
Our
IT architecture discipline is a set of principles and practices
that help guide how an organization's IT systems and infrastructure
are developed in full alignment with the organization's business
strategies. These principles and practices are segmented into
the following types of architectures:
- Business - this consists of the organization's business
strategy, governance, organization, and key business processes
- Data - this describes how an organization's data is managed
as an asset, with emphasis on how data is organized, shared,
accessed, and owned
- Applications - this provides the roadmap for managing
an organization's applications portfolio, development approach,
and alignment with the business' core processes and strategies
- Technology - this defines the necessary hardware and
software infrastructure necessary to support the deployment and
implementation of the applications, data and business processes
of the organization.
Outsourcing Process Management
Outsourcing process management is a set of disciplines that
allows your business to determine how to best use and leverage the
growing global human capital resources in nearshore and offshore
locations. Our approach allows companies to determine whether
or not outsourcing can be used as another strategy in providing
flexibility in resource deployment and utilization, minimizing risk,
and reducing cycle times.
