How well does your IT serve your business?
Where should you focus your IT spend to maximise your ROI?
How do you turn IT from a cost into a source of competitive advantage?
You’re under constant pressure to reduce your IT costs whilst, at the same time, you still have to maintain or improve your levels of service and support to the business. It’s a classic dilemma which, in today’s economic climate, can only become more pressing.
There are many ways to approach the problem, from simply reducing headcount to outsourcing entire services. However, no matter which approach you adopt, you will still be under scrutiny to ensure that your change programme delivers to the business what they need.
At Procertis, we believe that any IT change programme needs to be a rational, demonstrable and measureable process. In many organisations however, this is not the case. A major part of the problem lies in the fact that many businesses do not fully comprehend how their IT assets add value to the business. This is why we created AssessiT®
What is AssessiT®?
AssessiT® provides a model for describing and measuring the maturity and delivery capability of your IT infrastucture. Like other maturity models, it looks at how your infrastucture is organised and managed, from ‘boxes and wires’ to people and processes. Crucially, it also extends the analysis to examine how effective your infrastucture is in providing meaningful IT services to your business.
