Modernization Program Governance & Delivery

Once you've determined where to modernize, the crux of successful modernization is organizational change management and agile delivery. Modernization programs frequently fail because by the time you implement, the solutions are already legacy and don't fit users’ needs. Beat the odds by implementing strong organizational change management and executing change using agile methods. This ensures that stakeholders get value throughout the modernization program lifecycle and the program reflects what users want and need to use.

The Integrative Approach to Modernization

Modernizing technology comes with a cost, but so does running on outdated systems. Outdated technology and processes become a liability, and with time, the cost to update increases. Getting the budget to modernize also means pressure to get it right, and not throw money at prolonging a failing process.

Info-Tech’s Integrative Modernization Program centers on taking a balanced value and risk approach with business strategy as the cornerstone. The result is that whether you are making local tune-ups or full-scale overhauls, you can be sure you are investing in the right modernization initiatives and approaches to minimize risk and propel the organization forward.
