The Requirement
In today’s cost focused business environment the need to invest in IT in a planned and strategic manner is now more acute than ever.

Without a well-defined IT Strategy and Roadmap it is not possible to measure current IT effectiveness or plan for future IT investments. Moreover, if IT is not aligned strategically with the business then (especially in cases where IT itself is the product and/or very strategic) the business may, over time, lose competitive advantage.

Service Description
Our IT Strategy and Roadmap service helps you set out the objectives and priorities for IT over a multi-year period, identifying the changes required in systems, investment and personnel to achieve those objectives.

We start by focusing on:

• your business vision
• the business objectives and critical success factors
• the threats to (and opportunities for) the business

We then look at how IT can support, improve and add value to the business.

Approach
Intuitus works with the senior management to understand the business strategy and what the business needs from its IT systems. We do this by combining  IT board level expertise and real world and sector know how  with industry best practice to develop the strategy.

Once the IT Strategy is agreed we then help you define an IT Roadmap, showing the sequencing and dependencies between the various projects and when and how business value and return on investment will be delivered by the proposed investments. The Roadmap both defines the programme and provides a mechanism for the Board to direct and monitor its progress.

Deliverables
At the highest level a complete IT strategy and roadmap is produced for you. This includes identifying and assessing:

• The target state for IT, relating this specifically to business objectives.
• The current state and providing a gap analysis.
• Key projects required to achieve the target state, including a high-level assessment of the technical, financial and personnel resources required to deliver them.

• Demonstrating how each of the investment projects and elements of the IT-enabled change programme will support specific business objectives.

Benefits
By its nature a well thought out and aligned IT strategy results in well planned IT investments and less unplanned expenditure; this means reduced risk, disruption and improved service to/for the business.
