Strategic It Planning.

Today’s Business Climate Demands a Step Change in IT

Nobody needs to be reminded that today’s business climate is changing faster than ever. The credit crunch, financial meltdown and recession fears in 2008 have heralded a new wave of strategic business changes that no one could have anticipated. From M&A to nationalization; new regulatory compliance to rapid restructuring – business competition is requiring IT to move in lock-step with these changes.

But how can you transform IT without introducing risks to an already fragile IT infrastructure? The answer is Strategic IT Planning and Control – the proven software and methodology from Troux that pull together the information and teams required to drive strategic cost restructuring and business change initiatives.

In the same way that Project Portfolio Management (PPM), IT Service Management (ITSM) and Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) changed the way IT managed its operations, Troux Strategic IT Planning and Control software allows you to uncover where IT spending and programs are redundant or out-of-step with your business strategy. With Troux, you can then plan and manage the necessary changes, with live status information and guidance to all relevant stakeholders (Business Analysts, Enterprise Architects, Program Management Offer and Solutions Architects) and executives (Business and IT). Evolving from its roots in Enterprise Architecture, Strategic IT Planning and Control primarily addresses four key IT challenges:

  • Optimizing complex IT portfolios, encompassing services, applications, contracts, infrastructure and skills
  • Improving Business/IT alignment, roadmapping, capability mapping and financial transparency
  • Rolling out IT Excellence Programs for global technology standards, design reuse and estimating
  • Supporting major strategic transformation initiatives such as merger and acquisition integration, datacenter consolidation, as well as innovation and growth initiatives.

Our unique approach delivers business value in 30, 60, 90 day increments, resulting in immediate cost savings as well as step changes to ongoing IT efficiency, business response, and risk reduction.
