IT Strategy Case Studies
A carefully crafted and maintained IT strategy is the difference between failure and success. NYSTEC’s IT strategists have seen first-hand the quantifiable short- and long-term benefits organizations realize from a sound IT strategy. Case-study examples include:
• An organization with a poorly funded IT group establishes an IT steering committee that gives business leaders greater visibility into resources available for IT projects. Business managers readily support a significant increase in IT funding and contribute resources from their own program budgets.
• An IT organization that historically operated on the treadmill, running from crisis to crisis, gets agency leadership involved in workload and project priority-setting, resulting in a more focused effort on the projects of greatest importance to the organization.
• Lack of clarity about roles and responsibilities inside an IT organization results in wasted effort and inefficient work processes. A simple organization redesign project leads to a restructured organization with resources allocated where they’re needed the most, closer coordination between technical units, and a smoother and more efficient operation overall.
