STRATEGY
To establish an actionable technology strategy, you must understand: Your current environment – “what is”, Your goal – “what should be” and Your governance – “how do we get there”?
TECHNOLOGY ROADMAP
CIMATRI consultants specialize in helping you develop a plan to bridge the gap between where you are and where you want to be, i.e., establishing a Technology Roadmap.
Steps include:
- Scanning the current environment
- Establishing business and IT goals
- Determining gaps between your “as is” state and your desired state
- Gathering requirements for improvements
- Aligning strategy with the organization’s business goals
- Making recommendations about solutions to bridge gaps
- Providing guidance for long-, mid-, and short-term strategy
BUSINESS CONTINUITY
Critical to keeping your organization’s technology healthy is knowing what to do— quickly— when a situation arises that might threaten ongoing business.
For instance, what if:
- A pandemic or a natural disaster occurs, and all staff must work remote?
- A key individual leaves the organization?
- A natural disaster impacts your facilities?
- An economic event disrupts your cash flow?
CIMATRI’s experienced consultants can help you build a comprehensive plan to manage the crises and situation which threaten your organization’s on-going operations.
BUSINESS IT ALIGNMENT
Supporting the business of the association is the first directive of IT, but it can be difficult to match the mindsets of the stakeholders and the CIO to gain the most effective team dynamics. IT leadership needs the tools to understand business priorities and how to support them.
CIMATRI consultants, in partnership with Info-Tech research, have developed tools which help the CIO/IT Director get “into the head” of stakeholders and understand their perspectives. Detailed report cards give you reference points and show you where alignment needs to happen.
PROGRAM MANAGEMENT
Rarely is there only one IT project in play at once, and projects can span non-IT departments which are reliant upon technology. This requires someone who has the bandwidth and “wide-angle” view to manage multiple projects, as well as the ability to lead teams to successful project completion. The goal of program management is to manage projects which together improve your organization’s overall performance
CIMATRI’s consultants are experienced at all levels of project and program management and can offer you the expertise that drives tangible benefits for your organization.
