Has IT got you running in circles?

How many times has your organization had to guess about timeframes, costs and returns from major IT projects? How many IT managers have moaned after the fact: “If only I had known about… the existing data, the new application being designed, the transition from branch banking to commercial lending, the plan to offer clients new service levels for existing servers, etc.” Still it happens, all the time. To make matters worse analysts estimate about 35 percent of IT budgets are wasted because the business really didn't want what IT delivered, the initiative brought little value, the company already had it, or in the midst of the initiative the business environment changed.

Even if your organization is not in the midst of a merger or acquisition, or an audit, it is clear that there is a huge information gap in IT leading to poor communication and a lot of guess work around costs, results and implications.

Take a step in the right direction.

The first step in gaining transparency and a clear sense of direction is pulling all relevant data on the enterprise architecture including people, business processes, technical elements and costs into a central repository. By understanding how each piece of the puzzle relates to each other you can quickly discover synergies, overlaps, redundancies, inefficient processes and use of non-standardized products in planned projects, which can amount to considerable cost-saving when remedied.

Reap continuous rewards with planningIT.

If you want to reduce IT complexity on a continuous basis; if IT transparency of the current, planned and future landscape is an ongoing priority for you to achieve business/ IT alignment; if you want to be clear on IT direction with sound information at your fingertips not just in eight weeks but also in eight months and eight years then planningIT is the right solution for you.

Indeed, the basic return on information offered by planningIT can be demonstrated in three particular areas:

• Savings of 60% of the man-day efforts needed for collection, processing, validation and reporting on the elements of the enterprise architecture -- a task done continuously for reasons such as SOX, risk management, data protection, user satisfaction etc. These savings alone can finance an EA program
• A 10% increase in deliverables from investments in IT projects by architecturally checking projects in the preparation phase to ensure potential risks are identified and mitigated and also to avoid architectural conflicts during the execution of IT projects.
• A 10% reduction in yearly operating costs by the discovery of redundancies or excessive spending in the IT support to business and by standardizing the architecture, which not only leads to cost reduction but also to increased business and IT flexibility and agility.
