The benefits of Business and IT Strategy:

Our tried-and-proven IT strategy propositions have benefited many of our clients by creating a shared vision for IT, with board commitment to implementation. We have repeatedly demonstrated our ability to:

• Reduce IT costs and IT complexity.
• Standardise IT services and processes.
• Understand how to maximise business value through IT investment.
• Improve operational efficiency and effectiveness.
• Ensure alignment of the business and IT strategy, enabling IT to develop as a ‘partner’ to the business.
• Develop strategies to evolve IT as a business-change enabler and innovator – growing competitive capabilities through IT.

Capgemini’s approach

Capgemini’s collaborative approach to delivering these benefits takes into consideration the traditional programme elements of governance, organisation and management.

We incorporate these alongside a focus on:

• business strategy alignment,
• securing business value, and
• human factor management.

The result is transformation programmes that deliver the portfolio of benefits businesses expect from an IT organisation, yielding greater agility and increased customer intimacy.

Capgemini’s capabilties

Our advisers are more than consultants – we work collaboratively with senior leaders in a trusted-adviser role to understand issues and shape solutions. We are well versed in both the IT market and the implementation and process issues around transformation programmes. The result is a solution customised for each client’s specific situation and need.

Technology Enabled Business Strategies:

Understanding how technology can be used to gain flexibility, support new business models, create business differentiators or new business positioning and create competitive advantage through IT.

Business and Technology:

Bringing a strategic focus to enable success in large business and IT transformation programmes.

IT Portfolio Optimisation:

Defining, shaping, managing and delivering an IT portfolio aligned with the businesses.

Post Merger IT Integration:

Enabling successful post-merger IT integration by defining IT integration strategy - platform selection, IT organisation and governance design, IT project portfolio management and defining IT integration projects.

Running IT like a business:

Operating as a competitive business instead of a cost centre by defining the value proposition, and managing for value realisation.

We can help you assess where your organisation is in terms of its Business and IT Strategy.

Success Stories

We have delivered real results for a wide range of Private and Public organisations across all sectors including:

A Pharmaceutical Company

One of the world’s most successful drug companies decided to refresh its IT strategy to drive organisational excellence. The new global CIO wished to globalise her function and improve efficiency of operations in order to release more funding for projects and innovation. Capgemini worked collaboratively with the client team to develop a new global IT strategy owned at the business level. Through focusing not only on the detailed deliverables, but also on the human factors, we were able to implement this transition successfully after four previous attempts had failed. Deliverables included Business / IT trends and case studies, a new vision for IT, a transformation roadmap and a prioritised programme of specific IT initiatives.
