Creating an IT Strategy

Does your IT department get frustrated that purchases are based on cost rather than value?

Can you see your technology costs increasing without seeing their obvious benefit?

These types of concerns are a symptom of a fragmented approach to IT.

IT should be fully integrated with business objectives. Technology should be enabling rather than confusing. If this challenge sounds familiar to you, then read further.

Avoid thinking of ‘us and them’.

The easiest way to get rid of the "us and them" mentality between IT and operations is to develop a strategic IT plan. This plan can guide all communication and be adjusted as priorities change.

Some questions you should consider before implementing an IT strategy

Where is our business going?
How should we organise ourselves to get there?
What type of information and applications do we need?
What sort of infrastructure will enable us to deliver our core functions to users and clients?
What support do we need to keep it going?
How frequently should we review this strategy?

Clearly these questions must be tailored to your organisation, but these are issues that are common to most SMEs.

Simon Sanger-Andersonr, Partner, Tozers Solicitors, Exeter

"The Chiefs' move to Sandy Park Stadium not only meant new facilities for our players and coaching staff but our valued administration staff too. Concorde Copiers provided equipment that matched our superb surroundings and enabled us to work more efficiently than ever. Concorde have complemented that initial input by providing us with superb service since and we look forward to working closely with them for many years to come."

Michael Churcher, Exeter Chiefs Rugby Club

"We always go back to Concorde for our copier requirements because of their impeccable service and deep understanding of our needs."
