At Woodseaves Consulting, we find that the transformation of business plans into working technology systems is the weakest link in the planning cycle. At best, decisions are taken to simplify technology issues, rather than to respond to business requirements. "Legacy Issues" are frequently cast as the villain, preventing a speedy response to changing circumstances, but does this really need to be the case?
We believe that understanding both the pace of technology change and the range of business options is a fundamental part of establishing the overall requirements. The right level of flexibility needs to be built into technology systems from the beginning.
Every business will be different; an Asset Management System for a utility company will be built with timescales of decades in mind; a support system for a general insurance product must be ready in weeks, expect a product lifetime of months and be simple to support over its run-off years.
Our approach to Technology Planning addresses these issues. Let us help you find the right level of flexibility.
