IT value study
Identifying, modelling and quantifying the real value of technology to drive informed business decisions and support rigorous business case development remains a challenge for organisations. Consideration of the adoption, potential migration and true operational costs which map the entire cradle to grave life-cycle of the technology is as critical as consideration of the cost of acquisition yet it remains challenging and complex for many organisations to gather such information and quantify the real value it can deliver accurately.
The market is awash with many technologies and opportunities to drive competitive advantage and reduce costs, however capitalising on ROI potential can be lost through poor strategy and execution. Identifying these real costs and developing an extensible and flexible TCO/ROI model is critical to limiting risk. Driving informed decisions and building concrete business cases remains a critical focus and yet there seems to be limited outside support available from people who understand the issues and can provide ready assistance.
