Your organization’s challenge

Alignment of business and IT

More than ever day to day management of organizations depends on IT. The market knows challenges where IT plays a big part. It will be necessary to steer organizations business wise, supported by quality IT, meet client needs and revise the existing application portfolio.
An organization need to be able to focus itself on the optimization of her business processes. Because these processes add value for your clients, they should lead the direction of IT projects. Steering an organization business wise means that IT doesn’t display any detrimental effects. The less you need to know about the intricacies of IT the better. You’ll need qualified IT people to accomplish this.

As an information manager you stand before the challenge of aligning business and IT. This presupposes being able to think in terms of business processes and translating them in workable solutions. When translating a lot of things could go wrong. Dexels has learned that the best way to establish an area of agreement between business and IT,  is to subdivide business processes in elemental services. That is because a service can be understood both from the perspective of management as from the perspective of a developer.

No organization actively wants to hinder herself with a business inextricably linked to IT. Still your current application portfolio applies certain demands to your information services. You want to be able to address current market changes or apply to new issuing of governmental rules while at the same time keeping the application portfolio manageable. Renewing the portfolio one step at a time minimizes the impact on your business and immediately shows the return on investment.
