ICT Strategic
Consulting

With the services of IT Strategic Consulting we help our clients to adapt the capabilities of the IT function to the demands of their business.

Evolution of models

It is necessary to evolve the organizational models to ensure that the ICT function has the following characteristics:

End-user oriented

All departments and especially the IT department must align their objectives to the satisfaction of the final customer.

Integrated teams

Teams within the IT organization must be integrated end-to-end.

Collaboration capacity

Departments cannot be considered islands; collaboration must be achieved at all levels.

Transverse knowledge

Thanks to integration and collaboration we are able of taking advantage of the transverse knowledge of the organization for innovation and improvement.

It is a previous step to the Digital Transformation..

In order for the information systems to be prepared and meet the business requirements, the transformation levers must be aligned:

Technology

The industrialization of processes with new digital technologies allows the client to be involved in business processes.

Processes

Reorienting the processes and taking advantage of the change, we allow efficiency to emerge, and that is always the very the first return.

Organization

Promoting digital culture in a company guarantees its employability, and its productivity generates returns in terms of efficiency and innovation.

Data

Data management is key in order to generate analysis-information that guarantees the sustainability of the entire ecosystem.

COBIT

ITIL

PMI

The hybrid project / program office

ALLOWS TO RESPOND TO DIFFERENT SITUATIONS ARISING FROM THE INCLUSION OF HYBRID PROJECTS/h4>

It allows addressing both Waterfall projects and projects developed under Agile methodology, and it provides for each case an adapted methodology: tools, change management, identification and formation of new roles, user histories. Hybrid PMOs facilitates management tasks, and collaborate in tasks such as budget management, progress reports for managers or interaction with the rest of IT.

Agile

The iterative and incremental approach facilitates flexibility and transparency, and reduces risk. Its fundamental features are:

Quick cycles
Adaptation to demand
Innovation and quick feedback
Short productions

Waterfall

This approach offers a customized solution if the requirements are not going to change. Its main features are:

Cascade production
Long production cycles
Unified monitoring of programs and projects, no matter which development methodology is used.

Activities and tasks of a PMO

Coordination and planning

A detailed monitoring of the set of projects is carried out in order to control the achievement of key intermediate and global milestones, with which it is possible to detect and correct deviations.

Capacity management

Metrics are defined, the metrics that allow you to have a detailed view of the productivity and the capacity of the equipment for development.

Result tracking

It consists of clearly defining the status of the set of projects at each moment and the axis of work (conceptual, technical, etc.), which minimizes possible deviations based on the initial plan.

Communication

The internal communication plan is defined, as well as the communication mechanisms that ensure efficient communication of all the projects.

Facilitation

PMOs collaborates in the creation of a work dynamics of the project and offer coaching services to both IT staff and business people involved in the projects.

Change management

Possible impacts on the organization are identified, as well as necessary actions in order to solve the impacts, ensuring the internalization of the model within the organization and an adequate resistance curve to change as a key axis for the achievement of the objectives.

Systematization, unification of policies and criteria

It consists of homogenizing standards, criteria and policies for the correct development of the project. Standardization allows generating synergies and a unified vision that facilitates the decision-making and the integral management of the project.

Budget management

Based on a high-level definition of scope and planning, budget exercises are done for projects or programs.
