Enabling IT to collaborate with business and shape strategy by leveraging the right technology solution

overview of the clients needs
  • Develop a business case including recommended technology choices in order to enable business to invest in replacing a significant legacy application
  • Evaluate the request for proposal (RFP) responses from the short-listed vendors and formulate recommendations based on these
  • Enable the business to make a significant investment decision with confidence to support future business flexibility
  • Develop a clear business strategy aligning business drivers with IT enablers
  • To deliver the strategy, build a detailed list of requirements and incorporate these into an RFP
