IT TRANSFORMATION SERVICES

Training your development shop to deliver repeatable success with an advanced architecture and effective methodology.



Why is IT resource transformation necessary?

Technology Constantly Changing

Retains and Nurture Business Knowledgeable IT Resources

Builds Employer/Employee Loyalty

Technologies change. Directions shift. Habits are outdated. Reduce development time. Increase revenue. Reduce costs. Staff needs to evolve.



Characteristics of a Repeatable IT Transformation Process

Business & IT alignment–Business goals–Cost models/budgets–Resources & resource plans–Technology change decisions

Establish/hire/procure core team to establish standards/training for new technology

Need to establish a common technology language to communicate and enforce with across the new technology choice. That common language is fondly called in IT terms “standards.”



Possible Benefits of IT Transformation Services
