What is Your Business Value of IT?
Understanding the business value of IT starts with understanding the needs of the business. This should drive the IT direction whether a company is going through cloud migration, IT transformation or acting as a true business partner.
We exist in an integrated world and IT is connected to many outside providers that are critical to supplying services. Whether it is a software, hardware, consulting, communications, or SaaS partners, striking a balance to know which parties are just vendors and which should be partners is critical for providing a valued service.
There are so many options and possibilities with technology today. Filtering the ‘hype’, executing technology for the sake of the business is key to identifying the direction. Understanding the supply and demand on IT capabilities is needed to successfully achieve those goals.
