Strategic IT Review

Many organisations find that their IT evolves to meet day-to-day needs and initiatives rather than having been planned and directed to meet the organisation's strategic objectives. As a consequence, there can often be a mismatch between the IT and the needs of the business.

IndigoBlue's Strategic IT Review is a phased study involving all the major internal stakeholders and IT suppliers. We investigate the potential for automation and integration of business processes and review IT provision against best practice.

Our phased, incremental, collaborative approach offers a number of advantages:

• A successful strategy cannot be defined analytically and imposed - collaboration and feedback is required to arrive at a practical and balanced strategy.
• Introducing a new strategy is a programme of change, involving a wide range of people at all levels within the organisation.
• An emergent strategy can start at a simple level and be enhanced as necessary to result in a closely tailored solution.

IndigoBlue's Strategic IT Review re-aligns an organisation's IT to its business objectives.

The output of the review is a detailed report defining:

• The IT Strategy derived from the overall Business Strategy
• The IT-related challenges to delivering the Business Strategy
• Recommendations on key business systems
• Recommendations on any organisational and/or process changes needed to improve IT delivery
