DocuTech was asked to provide the merged companies with a business technology assessment and recommendations. Primary requirements were 24/7 and 99.9% system availability, remote user support, recovery time of four business hours, a single point of technology management and an IT spending decrease of at least 60% for the combined companies.
Recognizing that adherence to IT standards can reduce operating expenses, help expand an organization's focus and vision, and increase a company's profitability in a short amount of time, our goals were to:
-
Define exactly which tools and processes were needed to meet the objectives;
-
Gain senior level management commitment to meet regularly and provide a clear roadmap of the company's business objectives;
-
Convince all technology vendors to buy into being part of this new sharing of information.
The results: DocuTech's Connected Care program was customized to meet all of the technical and business requirements, the merged company utilized its technology to expand business strategies and objectives, and senior management, the IT team and technology vendors are all on the same page and working toward the same goals.
Are your management and IT teams on the same page? Your company's story is being written. What do you want it to say?
