STRATEGIC ICT CONSULTING

As much as the truth of a conclusion depends on the quality of its premises, the quality of your ICT strategy will have a solid and profound impact on business achievements. Strategy is the direction and scope of an organization over the long term, which achieves advantage for the organization through use of its resources within a changing environment to meet the needs of the markets and to fulfill stakeholder expectations.To achieve that advantage, one must have a roadmap for execution that addresses a specific scope, timeframe and budget. Most organizations struggle with implementation and efficiency, giving strategy formulation minimal attention.

We integrate our expertise in strategic change, process improvement and technology to provide solutions to clients as they strive to improve service delivery. Our clients deploy our services to obtain assurance that the effort and resources they expend on IT return optimal value.

Further, we provide the professional competence necessary to complement your own know-how to answer this crucial imperative, efficiently combining business and technology expertise and eliminating the need for you to second guess yourself. Advantech’s philosophy is to refrain from adhering exclusively to one particular technology choice, but rather to maintain the necessary objectivity to make the recommendations that are the most appropriate for you. Our strategic ICT services include:

  • ICT strategy development and implementation
  • Business – ICT alignment
  • Project management and quality assurance
  • Business process mapping and re-engineering
  • ICT security policy – covering Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery Plans
  • Design of change management frameworks
  • ICT for Development and ICT for Trade
