Transformation Programmes
The rapid evolution of technology and the need to catch up after a period of low investment has resulted in many companies embarking upon a transformation programme. In effect, this is a rapid deployment of the IT strategy that has been identified to address competitive pressures, improve business performance, remedy infrastructure and system risks and put in place sound IT governance, operations and support. Bryan Steele led such initiatives at Thistle Hotels and the Royal Automobile Club.
The Cloud offers some great opportunities for businesses to simplify the delivery and support of IT systems and provide agility when it comes to acquisition and disposal. A transformation programme should leverage these benefits.
