Are you investing in technology innovations that deliver real business value? Or are you challenged by providing availability, reliability, and agility from legacy environments while struggling to retain technical skills and reduce costs.

Typically we like to speak about the relationship between Business and IT in terms of partnership and leadership, but instead of being closely bonded and complementary, the 2 functions often operate in a state of confinement, or distrust . The result is missed business opportunities, slow business growth, and performance, and strained internal relationships.
With an overload of stalled IT initiatives that don’t deliver the desired business outcomes this misalignment can grow. IT feels pressured to reduce costs and ‘keep the lights on’. At the same time, business heads are trying to drive transformation – mergers, acquisitions, and expansion ambitions. Neither camp builds the bridge between technology and business objectives that is needed to get to their shared goal: real business value.
