What is a IT Strategy Review and Alignment?

It is crucial for any thriving business to consider how its IT and systems can assist in the delivery of growth. Without an IT Strategy business will be left purchasing ‘point solutions’, which fix an immediate issue at the expense of long-term cost. An IT Strategy Review assesses the IT needs methodically, giving you the opportunity to consider your IT strategy from a security and efficiency perspective, as well as a cost stance. The life-span of technology means all business need an IT Strategy that maps out purchasing and procurement to avoid spend that isn’t budgeted for. This is where a formal IT Strategy Review comes in – it’s a documented plan that caters for, and assists with, your wider business strategy. Whilst an IT Strategy Review may seem like an unnecessary expense, a company with growth ambitions needs to ensure its technology and systems are able to meet your business demands.
