Smart companies are transitioning into e-Business focused organizations, at a rapid pace due to
competitive pressures and increased demand for electronic communications, (email, social media
and online marketing), from their customers. Moving to an e-Business information focused
organization not only requires IT changes almost on a weekly basis but e-Business also involves
moving from the traditional multiple points of contact to a single electronic point of contact for
customer interaction.
The challenge for IT and the business units is to be able to integrate information from the separate business units back to the single point of contact to respond to the customer inquiries. While many companies have a sizable investment in IT, few have reaped the full potential of their investments and e-Business can greatly assist in meeting this goal. Many companies are still underutilizing their IT capabilities and have many applications with redundant and/or duplicate processes as well as hardware utilization averaging 20% or less. This results in IT solutions not being able to deliver on their intended results and benefits. We address all these factors and more in our IT e-Business assessment service.
Our offering provides clients who are transitioning to an e-Business strategy, valuable guidelines and critical success factors for achieving the benefits they are seeking and staying within budget. Too many times we are finding companies have greatly increased their IT complexity over the years and now need to move to a more streamline state to handle the daily demands of e-Business. For example, many companies have to increase the capacity of their web servers on a weekly basis, not to mention how they are handling email management, social media integration and the growth of online marketing from an IT management perspective. However, it's not uncommon for the business leaders to loose sight of these issues, due in many cases to their business siloed approach to IT. Our goal is to assist our clients in understanding these issues and then recommend the best approach to move from their current environment to an e-Business environment. All of our recommendations are based on sound business practices and benefits to the overall organization.
