Identifying the Business Requirements
A planned and structured approach to identifying the business requirements is essential to for any IT projects to succeed. Note:.- if achievement of benefits is not planned it will not take place.
If you're replacing an existing system, you will already have a clear understanding of your business needs and expected benefits, in which case iTSHOWCASE events can provide you with an ideal opportunity to find out which suppliers can help you.
Evaluating the Options for Sourcing the Solution
Arriving at a sourcing decision for an Information System (IS) should be seen as a culmination of a series of iterative reviews to assess the relative risk, cost and benefit of the options. The further the solution moves from a standard package, the higher the risk and the greater your reliance on the capability of the team. iTSHOWCASE events enable you to identify the products that most closely match your requirements.
Managing the Supplier Relationship
Management of supplier relationships is vital to the success of any Information Systems (IS) programme. The supplier may be required to support the system throughout its life expectancy; key suppliers will be involved in a number of projects. Senior management attention to building relationships with strategic suppliers can bring significant rewards.
Supplier relationships are mainly about people. At iTSHOWCASE events you'll meet potential suppliers face-to-face.
