IT Planning
Information Technology Planning, Technical Evaluation, Analysis & Design
Information technology planning focuses on aligning IT to the
business direction through developing business requirements,
identifying new
opportunities and utilizing IT as a competitive
resource.
The initial phase of IT planning begins with an inventory of
hardware, telecommunications, system software, application software,
and data bases.
An assessment is made of the IT assets using CTS’
proprietary framework that includes:
► Baseline
Architecture
► User
Evaluation
► Technical
Evaluation
► Opportunity
Assessment
From the assessment and the business requirements a set of
initiatives are developed that includes the following:
• Analysis & Design
• Cost Benefit Analysis
• Opportunity Identification
• Technology Strategy
• IT projects, Description & Costs
• Migration Plan
The overall plan is aligned with the business direction to insure
that the highest business value initiatives are ranked accordingly.
