IT Strategy is more than just keeping the lights on.
The reason most organizations get poor results from IT investments is their failure to properly plan. Investing in technology when it breaks is not a plan. And IT strategy is more than refreshing hardware and end-of-life operating systems.
Creating a meaningful multi-year IT roadmap starts with understanding where your organization is going as well as any potential challenges ahead. IT strategy is part of your business plan. It is on-going and process driven. Investments in IT should be guided by ROI. They should do things like drive costs out of the business, reduce risk, and improve customer service.
HealthyIT clients work with a dedicated vCIO who are among the most seasoned professionals on our team. They straddle the line between business and tech and their mission is to help align your technology investments with your business objectives. Technology should support your overall strategic IT plan and your vCIO leads that effort.
Here’s a clue; if you generally invest in IT only to fix things that are broken, there is a better way.
We know your budget isn’t unlimited. Your IT strategic planning investments need to fit within your overall business plan. But what most people want is budget predictability and not to be surprised by unanticipated IT costs that could have been planned. That’s why your technology roadmap is so important.
Technology inputs from us combined with feedback from your team mixed in with a large dose of where the business is going, your technology roadmap becomes the blueprint for investment over the next 1 to 2 years. IT planning and strategy allow predictable costs that maximize the impact on your business. That’s our goal and what our clients get with HealthyIT.
