IT VALUE, ALIGNMENT AND STRATEGY

As organisations increasingly build their reliance on IT, Company Boards and Executives continue to seek to ensure that a company's IT function:

• Delivers value for money
• Provides the appropriate levels of services
• Protects the company's main assets
  

Effectus provides a range of consulting services aimed at ensuring CIOs and IT Managers can meet the needs of their organisation through demonstrating value from IT and ensuring the IT functions align with key company goals and outcomes.

Services are targeted at 3 main levels:

Visionary Services - These services are focused on assisting the organisation to determine the strategic intent and direction and to set the high level course of action for key IT services and functions.

Operational Services - These services are focused on assisting clients to develop the processes, practices and standards of the IT operation, normally over the medium term.

Health Checks - These services deliver a concise evaluation, assessing where key IT services, process and functions are delivering value, meeting compliance requirements and identifying improvement areas against best practice.
