Investment in IT can be expensive, both directly and indirectly. The investment in hardware, such as computers, printers, security and networks, requires a substantial investment. However, costs can grow considerably if the wrong investment is made.

Investing in a new IT system or infrastructure, whilst retaining the same operational processes will not maximise return on investment (ROI). Without the know-how of IT consultants, who can help to align IT Systems, IT operations and IT Strategy, the added value that can be offered by any investment in an IT system, is not reaped.

By using Business Process Reengineering, we can analyse existing processes and find inefficiencies, deficiencies, and redundancies. The purpose is to entirely rethink how existing work processes can be altered to improve customer service, reduce operational costs and become more competitive. The ultimate goal of designing an IT strategy is to outline how the technology should be used as part of the company’s overall corporate and operational strategy.

Business Continuity

As cliche as it sounds, ‘prevention is better than cure’, is absolutely key. Although hardware reliability is continuously improving, we cannot always predict hardware failure or a force majeure situation. Theft, fire, hardware failure and other unforeseen circumstances are extremely difficult to predict and may be beyond anyone’s control. Business Continuity Consultants can help you plan ahead to minimise the risks of these disaster situations. They can also assist by creating effective disaster recovery strategies.

Intertek has a long history of acting as business continuity consultants. Our understanding of organisations helps us to provide effective solutions. These solutions are mostly aimed at minimising the risk of downtime and data loss. These two are the biggest issues faced by an organisation in case of an IT System disaster situation.

Business Continuity Strategy

It is more cost effective to invest time and money into the necessary resources, to build a Business Continuity strategy, to avoid such situations. Organisations need to quantify two important factors – the value of their mission critical data and the cost of being unable to operate. This will help determine a reasonable budget for such a project.

“If we lose our data, how do we serve our customers tomorrow?”
“Can we afford to have employees being unable to perform their daily activities?”

In case of a disaster, failing to acknowledge these concerns from beforehand will result in extreme reactive expenditure. A proactive approach towards designing an effective disaster recovery plan has become a crucial requirement in any company’s IT strategy.
