Information Architects Associates

Change continues to occur at a rapid pace which makes it more important to review and modify technology plans more frequently. With critical technology issues such as proper staffing, outsourcing, the growth of decentralized office automation, and lifecycle costs, chances are you are in the majority of organizations that are lacking key elements that are important to any strategic technology plan.

Working with senior departmental, administrative, and technology management within your organization, IA consulting staff can help facilitate this planning process and develop a meaningful customer focused technology plan in cooperative effort with the user community. The resulting “IT Roadmap” becomes the base strategic IT plan that is then used to implement tactical solutions by phase in support of near term organizational goals. This approach allows business and IT managers to realistically plan and budget for organizational needs, and promotes an evolutionary environment rather than a piece-meal approach to technology. When IT decisions are made without the benefit of an overall plan or roadmap, it is just about guaranteed that the system will need to be replaced later when greater functionality or connectivity to other systems is required.

For more than a decade IA has been helping companies of all sizes achieve more from their IT assets. Unlike large consulting firms that either sends in their “just out of college” or “ready to retire” resources, we apply a “strike team” concept comprised of our most talented senior resources to initial project sessions to ensure that all challenges are identified and addressed, and opportunities executed upon.
