Not Just IT Strategy: Identifying an IT Strategy that Makes Business Sense

Efficient strategy development, solution selection, and procurement are critical to the success of your business—and among the hardest things to get right. Gartner Group studies suggest that as many as 75 percent of all U.S. IT projects fail to meet expectations.

That’s a statistic you want to avoid. Advoco can help, providing client-focused independent consultancy and support throughout all phases of IT strategy development and implementation.

Business Requirements Analysis

Advoco’s first priority is to understand your business operations and needs. We work with you to complete a detailed analysis of your company’s operations and specific needs. We have a fully developed methodology supported by a strong focus on time and project management that includes interview programs, financial analysis, and a study of your company’s business plan and objectives.

Strategy and Business Case Development

Using the results of the business requirements analysis, we draw up a strategic plan with objective comparisons of technical options and optimal recommendations. If you need it, we can also provide you with a fully-costed business case that can be taken before a board.

Agreeing on the Right Solution

Understanding your needs, developing the business requirements analysis, and creating the strategic plan all lead to the identification of a preferred solution. Advoco provides a detailed technical specification of the solution.

Procurement management

Finding the right vendor can be a challenge. Advoco offers an independent and objective procurement management service, supported by understanding your business needs. Our knowledgeable professionals will prepare a detailed ITT, RFI, or RFP based on the technical specification and the stage of the project.
