Accelerate technology adoption by preparing your organization for change
Transformation projects are a journey, not only for the IT team building out new, innovative solutions, but also for the business users that will use these tools. Our business readiness (BR) services leverage an IT transformational strategy to make technology changes less disruptive to businesses. By bridging gaps between business and IT stakeholders, these services expedite adoption by empowering business teams to mold the future state operational vision and providing a clear path for IT to follow in development and delivery.
Business readiness is a critical piece of transformation success
For business transformation programs to be successful, it is imperative that business and IT are on the same page, identifying and understanding the functional impacts the transformation will bring to operations. Our team of experts will work with you to understand the transformation initiative and create a well-rounded strategy to address the operational change. We will collaborate in lockstep with your business and IT teams to allow your organization to hit the ground running on Day One, minimizing operational and customer impact while maximizing business value.

Business Readiness and Organizational Change
Business transformation success relies on effective change management.

Our OCM team helps you build a communications strategy, measure change readiness, and align the acceptance criteria for upcoming changes through change review boards and executive approval.

Working with leadership, we will define the goals of your transformation program and identify what applications (current and future state), business units and stakeholders, and processes are in scope. In addition, our team of roadmapping experts will use proven methodologies and tools to document pragmatic and strategically sequenced initiatives to enhance business readiness for your organization.
