Information Technology Consulting
Using technology to respond to changing business priorities
Technology is critical to the development, communication and delivery of your products and services and the need for a thorough and flexible technology strategy has never been more paramount.
Making sure you get the expected benefits and return on information technology (I.T.) investment is a challenge. You need to find the right solutions that enable you to respond to changing business priorities and to take advantage of business opportunities.
Many of these challenges (and services we provide) include:
- The impact of Business Strategy on I.T. environment
- Management Information Systems supporting business decisions
- Updating and procuring new systems
- Implementation and integration of I.T. systems
- Improved System Security to protect the business information systems and reduce threats
- I.T. Systems Audit to ensure adequate controls are in place
- Continuity and Disruption Assessment and Planning
Most businesses know where they are going, but only the most successful know how the business strategy impacts on their IT environment and what changes may be required to get them there. For many businesses, managing organisational change, protecting their reputation and brand, and keeping up with the pace of change in their marketplace are only some of the issues they face when making strategic decisions. An IT environment that
supports your business strategy and is aligned to your objectives is crucial.
Effective management information systems are a critical factor for the successful operation of a business. Making critical business decisions without reliable information can be risky. Often the information needed is available within the business but requires complex structuring and manipulation before you can draw adequate conclusions to inform and support your decisions.
At Baker Tilly Ryan Glennon we assess and check the effectiveness of the I.T. Systems for management and operational information as well as security and risk mitigation and seek answers to two crucial questions:
- Is it fit for purpose?
- Does it support business processes?
Our typical programme management and communication process includes:
- Assessment (independent technical audit)
- Prepare Business Case
- Selection and Procurement
- Implementation
- Cost benefit / payback schedule
