IT
Strategic Planning
In this era of rapid change many events could trigger
the need to re visit IT Strategy: New technologies,
Mergers and Acquisition activities, a change in
the Business Model or sometimes just the passage
of time. Using a widely accepted methodology TPP
will assist with the development or re fresh of
an IT Strategy which both leverages new technology
and is well aligned with business need. But TPP
is not a pure 'strategy shop'. When ever requested,
TPP will not only develop the strategy but will
participate in it's execution.

IT
Governance, Alignment and Performance Management
At
the core of IT execution lie:
-
IT
Governance: the process of prioritizing, funding
and sponsoring IT activities
-
IT Alignment: the process of understanding the
business priorities and aligning IT behind these
-
IT
Performance Management: The process of evaluating
the outcomes of IT activities and evaluating these
against the Strategic and Operating Plans
Adapting
a business methodology to the needs of IT, TPP will
assist it's customers develop an integrated approach
to Governance, Alignment and Performance management
that will help create the environment for superior
execution.

IT
Enterprise Architecture: The roadmap to Services Orientated
Architecture (SOA)
One
of the many dramatic changes unfolding in the global
economy today is the emergence of Services Orientated
Architectures ( SOA) as the dominant computing platform
across the software industry. The loosely coupled
foundation to this architecture will support the rapidly
changing realities of the business ecosystem at a
speed and price point dramatically better than earlier
architectures.
TPP will assist customers address two distinct questions
arising from SOA:
-
How
to we prepare our infrastructure, processes and
people to be ready
for the transition?
-
And
more important: What could SOA mean for our business?

Achieving
Business Impact Through IT-Enabled Innovation and
Best Practice
Many
IT functions are mired in the "support trap" .Combining
many of the discrete services offered by TPP with
our customer intimate business model, TPP can supplement
the existing resources in the Office of the CIO
and work together with this team to build IT business
partnering and innovation capabilities and create
the IT processes and skills needed to execute those
strategic programs which are designed to have significant
business impact.
.....................................................................................................
Merger
and Acquisition
Many
times one of the outcomes of acquisitions, divestitures
and other changes in business model causes a situation
where the IT Strategy and Leadership is no longer
will suited to the current business need. With our
experience and diverse skills TPP is well suited
to help companies quickly re calibrate and reposition
IT for the desired future state and assist with
the transition to this new model.
