The Right Plan For Your Team
Trust Endurance IT to provide an effective IT assessment and business IT evaluation for your team. We know organizations must be diligent in re-examining the process to ensure the organization and information technology (IT) remain in alignment.
Alignment exists when:
- IT capabilities support goals and strategy
- IT capabilities have flexibility to accommodate change in strategy or direction
- IT investments are based on the benefits they create
- IT strategy is driven by the organizational strategy
At Endurance IT, we look at IT assessments (business IT audits) as a way to save money and improve efficiency. That's why we believe:
- Proper IT can improve positioning and provide competitive advantages
- IT is a significant expense that requires proper thought, vision, and evaluation
- Failed IT investments hurt the bottom line without adding value
- IT decisions that are not strategic often lead to solutions that do not meet the company's expectations
Our IT assessment process allows us to understand your needs and goals to realize your investment in IT. Endurance will evaluate your entire organization, not just the technology, to obtain a complete understanding of your drivers and motivators. We will look for competitive edges and identify process improvements that can increase productivity through the use of technology.
We believe all significant resources in your organization must participate. It is imperative that there is a single consensus or “Buy-In” at the completion of the strategy sessions. Otherwise, the partnership between business and IT will fail. Some of the key members of the process are:
- Executives
- Department heads
- Partners
- Vendors
- Power users
- Others as needed
Our process at a high level includes the following steps:
- Institutional environment assessment
- Technology assessment
- SWOT analysis
- Transformation ideas and areas
- Enterprise strategy
- Planned future state
- Gap analysis
- Options/decisions
- Roadmap
- Projects
