Ian Halliday-Pegg, Sales Manager, MEGA
The CEO senses recession. He wants IT to be better aligned with the business, a lean system that costs far less to run, solutions that make the company fully compliant, less exposed to risk, more agile to deal with change, and able to provide better customer service. He’s heard about service oriented architecture (SOA) and wants it implemented. How do you respond? Are you really on top of all your IT assets? What’s actually out there, what’s worth keeping, what’s needed and what’s redundant? And how do you successfully achieve the major transformation being demanded?
Drawing on seventeen years of proven experience, MEGA will explain the value of a systematic approach based on planning and defining the desired outcomes. This entails accurately mapping the assets and then analysing, modelling and optimising all the key factors – the only way to arrive at the right solution.
