IT and Business Alignment
An organization’s success is often determined by its ability to support its operations and client-facing processes with the right technology. Many organizations, however, fail to fully consider the underlying business objectives when designing and implementing their IT operations. Revere’s IT and business alignment solutions help our clients assess all aspects of their IT environment—from applications to governance to sourcing—and create a transformational roadmap for aligning IT with business goals.
IT strategy & optimization: The first step in IT and business alignment is bringing technology and business leaders together to translate key business drivers into a compelling IT vision. Revere’s senior teams help organizations define this vision by reviewing IT infrastructure, applications, architecture, operations and governance. We employ extensive benchmarking studies and gap assessments to create a roadmap of initiatives that optimize your IT and its ability to support business strategy.
Enterprise platform strategy: An integrated technology platform provides an organization with stability and scalability to excel in a dynamic business environment. Revere has more than 15 years experience helping clients assess their current application portfolio, identify areas for improvement, and map out an enterprise platform strategy that is aligned with business needs. By drawing upon vast expertise in a broad range of platform technologies and deep industry knowledge, Revere provides platform solutions that strengthen business processes, enhance operational efficiency and provide a holistic view of data across the organization.
Software selection & sourcing: Given the abundance of choices in the marketplace, choosing the right software or technology provider is a daunting task with major implications for the success of your IT strategy. Revere’s software selection and sourcing approach combines the necessary tools and experience to navigate the complexities of identifying the optimal solution provider. Our approach spans every step of the sourcing process: requirement gathering, RFP development, vendor demonstrations, vendor selection and negotiation, and implementation. With Revere guiding you through the process, you can be assured of selecting the right vendor for your unique needs and objectives.
Business continuity & disaster recovery: Proactive planning for unexpected disruptions is not an optional luxury; it is an essential part of your IT strategy. Organizations must be thoroughly prepared to minimize the potential losses from security breaches, natural disasters, technology and infrastructure failures, or man-made disasters. Revere has extensive experience working with clients at all stages of the business-continuity process. From mapping out and testing the business-continuity plan to designing and hosting the disaster-recovery site, Revere helps clients dramatically reduce the risk that a disaster will disrupt your operations.
IT project management office (PMO): An effective PMO extends an organization’s IT expertise throughout all levels of the organization. By serving as a liaison with business partners, an IT PMO helps ensure consistency in how initiatives are implemented and administered throughout an organization. Revere has deep experience helping organizations establish or enhance PMOs. Our PMO Maturity Models have proven track records of aligning PMO capabilities with the high-priority process competencies. These models are adapted to your unique business environment and provide a detailed blueprint for the implementation or enhancement of your PMO.
