In
our experience, IT systems are quite often obsolete by the time
they are deployed because organizations are dynamic and go through
stages that require varying levels of sophistication in support
systems. We believe that the logical process for effective IT deployment
is to plan, design, implement, operate and adapt for future growth.
In the early stages of a company’s lifecycle,
inventory monitoring, element management and planning take priority.
Then the emphasis evolves to billing and subscriber management,
financials, capacity planning and performance management. As the
company matures, the needs change to sales force automation, data
warehouse, marketing tools and web enabled self-care application
integration.
We
believe IT should not have a life of its own. It should support
business functions and be scaled in a predictable way to meet the
growing needs of internal and external customers.
