Those looking to increase net worth must now consider IT as a strategic enabler rather than a business utility, and demonstrate a holistic, mature approach towards IT at all levels across the organisation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Below are the top five ways business leaders can assess the effectiveness of their current IT capabilities to maximise enterprise value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Demonstrate_a_clear_IT_Strategy\"><\/span><strong>Demonstrate a clear IT Strategy<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A well-defined and executive sponsored <a href=\"https:\/\/acora.com\/our-services\/professional-services\/it-consulting-services\/\">IT strategy<\/a> which aligns investments with business objectives is paramount. Rapid changes in technology and the <a href=\"https:\/\/acora.com\/our-services\/applications\/\">IT services <\/a>market mean that projects requiring years of implementation and expecting a long-term ROI inevitably fail, so focus on the next two to three years and define individual initiatives that will take no longer than six months to implement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Proactively_address_risks\"><\/span><strong>Proactively address risks<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Changing business expectations and an increasing reliance on IT means that most organisations are seeking guarantees around availability of key business systems.\u00a0 Next-day recovery is no longer acceptable, so invest in disaster recovery provisions that protect customer-facing operations first, and execute regular tests to prepare IT and the rest of the business for a real disaster eventuality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Provide_quality_Business_Management_Information\"><\/span><strong>Provide quality Business &amp; Management Information<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A good Management or Business Information system will allow aggregation of information from existing systems with minimal intrusive changes to the original data. Trust is a major factor in the success and ultimate value of BI\/MI \u2013 data must be accurate and relevant, as well as timely and accessible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Standardisation\"><\/span><strong>Standardisation<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Strive to achieve a common and standardised platform across all areas of your business &#8211; define and publish hardware and software standards, and introduce governance measures to enforce them. Choose industry standard technologies and packaged applications where you can, and bespoke customisation or development only where absolutely required &#8211; short term cost savings often being outweighed by long term ownership costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Operational_effectiveness_efficiency\"><\/span><strong>Operational effectiveness &amp; efficiency<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you choose to<a href=\"https:\/\/acora.com\/your-challenges\/\"> insource or outsource<\/a>, manage IT like a business \u2013 customer-focused, competitive and trusted across the organisation. Introduce and monitor meaningful KPIs that drive improving service levels, and exploit supplier relationships that add structure and scale to the IT department. Consolidate systems and operations, adopt centralised or <a href=\"https:\/\/acora.com\/our-services\/infrastructure-cloud\/\">cloud-based computing<\/a> for greater cost predictability and reduced operational risk.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>IT capabilities have become an increasingly significant factor in external assessment of enterprise valuation.
