IT BUSINESS ALIGNMENT…  Information Technology  (IT) is now an inseparable part of any businesses strategy and with this Business-IT alignment has become one of the most popular modern management concepts in business and IT management!  Defined as the alignment of a company's IT strategy with its business strategy, for years top executives have realised that closing the gaping distance between technology and business can provide their company with a strong, defensible, competitive advantage.  However, knowing it and executing it are very different.  How can you create Real Business Value through to your company? Nike Consultants is an accredited HP Software Specialist with many years of experience helping companies realise the benefits of system management and IT Business Alignment technologies.  This event is designed to provide you with both HP and Nike Consultant’s experience and best practices and how these can achieve your IT and business management goals. WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS IT Business Alignment can help your company significantly reduce risk and costs, whilst increasing efficiency and profit.  For instance, what if: You could cut operations costs by 33%, and reallocate that money to innovation projects? Ensure that IT responds to business decisions more quickly, thus making competitive strategies attainable? Create breakthroughs in service quality by finding and fixing IT problems before they affect users, improving end user experience and revenue generation? WHAT’S THE ALTERNATIVE? Companies still continue face potential damage to their brand, loss of revenue and ineffective resource utilisation when a service goes down and transactions don’t go through, or confidential data gets compromised.  Industry analysts confirm this as: 57% of IT managers said fewer than half of IT projects over three years delivered the intended business outcome. 50% of IT projects are delivered over budget. 80%+ of IT projects failures are caused by poor planning. 80% of downtime results from errors and miss–configurations. The risk and cost consequences for such practices are often incalculable!
