IT Strategy
- IT Portfolio Management
Many corporations don't come close to realizing the full potential of their Systems and Information Technology investments. This gap of unrealized value is apparent in the number of projects that are pended or cancelled, or have failed to deliver the expected benefits. STA Group works with clients to develop IT Portfolios that help both the business and IT sides of the organization to more clearly understand the value that their current IT investments are providing. This understanding leads to enhanced decision making and improved management processes that benefit the entire organization. STA can provide mentoring to help corporations with how to continue in the creation and management of these portfolios
- Business And IT Road Mapping
We work with our clients to develop both Business and IT operational "roadmaps" that connect current state assessments with portfolios of operational and technology investment opportunities. Final deliverables typically include sequenced execution plans aligned with the long-term strategies and goals of the organization.
- Organizational Assessments
STA Group can provide an independent assessment of your technical organization's readiness to meet key business challenges. This can include a review of the IT organization's structure and capabilities across a wide range of areas, with a resulting recommendation that includes opportunities for improvement. The assessment is focused around key business drivers, such as the need for increased efficiency, effectiveness and/or innovation.
- IT Capability Assessments
STA Group helps clients assess the capabilities of their internal IT teams, as well as the alignment between business and IT. This often provides strategic insight into how to improve the efficiency of the IT and related business spends inside an organization. Significant gains have been achieved by our clients as a results of following our recommendations.
- Right Sourcing
Many outsourcing projects fail completely. Others achieve some limited success, but fail to yield their promised benefits. The question on many executives' minds is how to make outsourcing more effective in their organizations. The patterns of failure in outsourcing projects have become predictable and clear over the years. STA Group has witnessed patterns of both success and failure for many years and has developed unique insights into the root causes and developed ways to mitigate these risks. We have been able to help our clients promote effective outsourcing strategies by creating the data and analysis needed to arrive at the best decisions. In a variety of cases, this has resulted in dramatic cost reductions and increased IT effectiveness. Can we help you in this area?
- Vendor Selection
What is the best technology vendor or tool for your organization? We assist our clients with assessments of vendor products using objective measures that encompass the needs of the business and the infrastructure of an existing IT environment.
