IT Transformation
Solutions
As constant change continues to dominate, organisations are no longer able to rely on past IT solutions. To survive and thrive in the 21st century, businesses must constantly examine and assess fundamental issues in the context of the current technological and operational environment. Many of the dilemmas and choices are familiar, but their terms of reference are continually changing. For example, whether to:
- Opt for a single comprehensive application or a collection of best-of-breed point solutions
- Use a systems integrator as prime contractor or integrate products in-house
- Build a bespoke solution or fit the business to the best applications in the market
- Use PPP or PFI as an alternative financing option
Such decisions are influenced as much by organisational capability as by the business requirement but can be as critical to the success of the solution.
The range of applications and the permutations for integration are rapidly increasing and the options for acquiring and delivering solutions are also diversifying as the Internet enables new business models. Traditional approaches such as employing programmers to write a system or buying licences for off-the-shelf applications have combined with new models, including outsourced operations, offshore development, and software as service. These proposals address specific issues but also carry their own implications, often requiring different skills and organisation to design, acquire and manage the solution.
Any new solution must integrate with an existing portfolio and infrastructure and, when specifying a new solution, an understanding of the business strategy and the implications for the current architecture and portfolio are essential.
