Use less time on operational tasks, and more on creating business value
The demands on the modern IT manager are increasing. Management no longer expects you to just assume responsibility for the operation of IT systems. There is a growing expectation that business development should also come from the IT department. As an IT manager, if you are able to take on the role of business advisor, the quality of the services that you and your IT department deliver will increase - and so, in turn, will job satisfaction.
Unfortunately, operations-related tasks often take up most of the department's time and steal attention away from long-term goals such as IT strategy and IT architecture. Outsourcing operational tasks will free-up time for more value-added tasks.
The ambitious IT manager is a key sparring partner for top management
The ambitious IT manager should not only be able to meet top management expectations around IT optimization and stability, but also make recommendations for how IT solutions can support or even drive the overall strategy. In other words, there is a need for business-oriented technological leadership, in which the IT manager is at the forefront of the business's development.
Are your business strategy and IT architecture aligned?
Your IT architecture adds most value to the business when it supports growth and enables innovation. You can rely on our experts to get relevant advice when, for example, you need to:
- Strengthen security and develop an IT security policy for the company
- Build an IT architecture that supports the organization moving forward
- Assess which operational tasks you will benefit most from outsourcing
How does the it department best support the business?
The IT department must create value – and it does that best by supporting business development. In a growing business, it is crucial that the IT organization can:
- Act with agility and adapt to new business plans and goals
- Communicate IT strategy in a way that the business understands
- Create a solid, yet flexible and scalable foundation.
Does your IT solution need improvement, or a complete rethink? We help you find the answer.
Whether your current solution needs improvement or you need to rethink your set-up, outside help can be beneficial. We can help you with:
- Needs analysis and design of future structure
- Project management by experienced infrastructure project managers
- Infrastructure work with mapping of optimization possibilities.
Analysis and design: It's essential to have the right design for your future installation. We help you design your new setup. As part of the process, we analyze your needs and requirements and match them with the company's current solution. In this way, you avoid making a wrong investment or getting caught up in the latest industry trend without first knowing the long-term consequences of your choices.
Project management: Too many IT projects go off the rails and end up not delivering the expected functionality or missing the delivery deadline. This is often due to shortcomings in project management. We offer highly trained project managers who have extensive experience with infrastructure projects, and through our tried and tested project model help ensure a well-executed project that is delivered on time.
Optimization analysis: An infrastructure analysis takes the temperature of your infrastructure, maps gaps and gives an overall picture of which investments in your infrastructure will have the greatest impact. With DXC Technology as a partner you can draw on experiences and best practices from a wide range of similar projects.
Plan the future path of your IT landscape: The analysis results in a report showing how to get from your current position to the desired position. Supported by a business case for each investment, the final result is a good budgeting tool that you can use in dialogue with management about the necessary budgets and what business benefits an investment in the company's IT structure will provide.
