IT Strategy Consulting
IT strategy consulting is hearing your business challenges and goals, and creating a proper IT enablement plan. We work with IT strategies that bring together a diversified IT landscape, support existing business processes and drive new business initiatives.
ScienceSoft's Approach to IT Consulting
Doing the right IT
We don't introduce new technologies just to make your company "modern": the primary aim is to bring noticeable business outcomes with IT.
Doing IT right
We optimize IT services to make them more reliable and cost-effective and help introduce new IT services fast.
What the IT Strategy Includes
Business-IT alignment plan
Reinforcing business processes with IT and introducing new digital business models, if needed.
IT operating model
Introducing a more mature IT operating model to improve operational efficiency.
IT sourcing plan
Covering skill gaps at an optimal cost. We segment your IT needs and determine which functions are better to be implemented in-house or outsourced to a single or multiple providers.
