In addition to these, businesses are also finding their information systems, processes and technology portfolio to be a bottleneck to business improvements and growth. Sydnia’s IT Roadmap Development Service is a three stage process that provides the means to right the ship, enabling the IT organization to align itself to support business processes and organizational goal and objectives.
The Technology road map can be completed for the whole IT organization, or for any specific area of need, including but not limited to Enterprise Architecture, Development Systems and Processes, IT Operational Systems and Processes, Systems Migration and Consolidation (including Legacy System).
The IT Roadmap Development engagement starts with a review of organizational:
Strategy
Business and IT Vision
Business Plans
Other related documents
The objective of this phase is to formulate an understanding of where the organization wants to be at a point in time.
The next stage in the IT Roadmap Development Activity is a comprehensive study of the IT enterprise, documenting and analyzing:
Business Processes
Technical System and Infrastructure
Applications Portfolio
IT Processes and Governance Framework
The objective of this stage is to determine the current state of processes, people and technology for the organization and to identify strengths and weaknesses (gaps) as they relate to the organizations goals and objectives, and specific improvement opportunities
The final stage in the IT Roadmap Development is the creation of action plans of varying detail to leverage the strengths and bridge the gaps to allow the IT organization to:
Initially align itself with core business activities
Fully support or enable business processes
Finally, to fully integrate with the business to meet organizational goals and objectives.
Mechanism for communicating IT vision, goals and objectives to the enterprise
Newly Designed/Redesigned Business and IT Processes to improve efficiency and effectiveness
Modification and or consolidation to existing systems and resources to improve functionally required by business processes
Mechanism for Prioritizing Project Activities to ensure fit with business objectives
Institution of Governance and progress metrics to ensure transparency across the organization.
This will also facilitate early identification of successes and challenges, and allows adjustments in plans to be made to accomplish goals.
Sydnia will take full ownership of the IT Roadmap Development Process, working with IT and business executives to create an actionable set of activities that can be assessed to ensure that the IT enterprise is on track to meet its vision.
