IT
organizations face a number of significant challenges, including
rising stakeholder expectations of IT, flat or declining IT budgets,
challenging economic conditions, increased globalization and the
continual emergence of new technologies. To achieve high performance,
IT organizations need to work differently and take advantage of
technology in new ways. Companies must identify which IT capabilities
are most critical to the success of the overall enterprise, and shape
an IT organization and capability that supports the business in a
cost-effective manner.
IT
transformation is an approach that can help improve the performance of the IT
function via large-scale changes to culture, processes and technology. URS
Systems has extensive experience with IT transformation programs, and we have
helped many leading organizations use our approach to achieve results more
quickly than they could have on their own. By targeting a number of quick wins
early in the implementation stage, a company generally covers the cost of the
entire transformation in the first year of the initiative.

potential benefits of our IT transformation approach include
•

reduction in IT costs of more than 30 percent

Redirection of a significant portion of IT expenditures from non-strategic projects
to strategic ones creating new capabilities and business value

Done
right, IT transformation enables a company’s IT organization to execute the
right processes more efficiently and effectively, optimize its technology
sourcing strategy, renew the company’s technology base, simplify the existing
application architecture and develop new capabilities. Companies that can do
all of this can not only achieve compelling short-term results, but also lay
the groundwork for long-term high performance by creating IT organizations that
are able to learn and change as the business evolves.
