Methodology
Business Impact Lifecycle...Realizing business/IT alignment

In today’s business world, there’s no such thing as IT projects—only business projects with IT components. This may be a matter of perspective— but it’s a perspective that has never been more important to business success. At a time when so many businesses depend on IT to do nearly everything, IT needs to be seen as an enabler for executing business objectives. Research has shown that the highest performing IT organizations operate as valued partners that share the same enterprise vision and objectives as their business counterparts.

To orient itself this way, IT should run as a business that is focused on the needs of the customer—in this case, the rest of the organization it serves. This requires better alignment with the business.

Business/IT alignment, however, is a slippery subject. Everybody talks about it—few have really done it. What’s involved? How do you take the first steps? What does it even mean to be aligned?

Pepperweed Consulting has some answers. Put simply, alignment is the ability of IT to understand and meet the needs of the business on a consistent basis. When properly aligned with the business, IT becomes a tool to employ for competitive advantage rather than an obstacle to overcome. Pepperweed can help you achieve alignment—not only by giving you the tools to understand what needs to be done but also by delivering the specific solutions that help you realize your objectives.

Rome wasn’t built in a day. The same holds true for business/IT alignment. Pepperweed takes an incremental approach—one that focuses on specific initiatives that deliver tangible business benefits today while increasingly building the capabilities required for IT to coordinate with the business, understand its requirements and realistically assess the resources available to meet those requirements. The end result is a more adaptable enterprise, capable of leveraging the power of IT to execute on changing business strategy and compete more effectively.

The strong foundation of Pepperweed’s Technology Services Implementation framework is the result of over 2500 HP software implementations.  Pepperweed Consultants apply our field-proven implementation techniques to meet your organization’s specific needs.

First and foremost, Pepperweed’s implementation techniques come from field-proven methodologies and best practices developed from over a decade of delivering successful IT programs and projects. For everything from rapid implementation templates to full blown IT program strategies, the deliverables that Pepperweed has mitigate project risk by insuring a repeatable, practical, yet prescriptive, course of action. Our unique methodology encourages the customer to participate in the delivery process, and guides them to best practice implementations.

Next, we provide the training and mentoring needed for your staff to take control and begin realizing the value of IT. We also assist with the communication, awareness and cultural adoption of your new and improved IT processes and technology. This is where IT becomes the hero.

Finally, we do more than just solve the challenge at hand. We prepare you for growth by individualizing solutions that fit perfectly into the context of your business and operating environment. So from here on in, it is not business as usual, but business as it should be.
