Cloud & IT Sourcing

25%  is the number which has been attributed to the annual growth of cloud globally. This growth has been led by big tech giants such as Microsoft with Azure, Amazon with AWS and other players such as IBM and Google. However, there are other cloud specific technologies within this market which businesses can take advantage of.

Business strategy surrounding cloud is essential. Organisations need to take advantage of this modern day technology to lower their total cost of ownership with respect to on premise equipment and  take advantage of the efficiency which comes with a well thought out cloud strategy.

The cloud model has many phases which should be taken into consideration and not be overlooked as this could mean an unsuccessful transition or an internal project which runs longer than it should.

IT Sourcing

Organisations need to decide which services will be supported internally and those to be sub contracted to a reputable third party. Modern organisations view sourcing as a way to enable them to become more agile and gain a competitive advantage in their respective industries or markets. This is why  organisations need to identify a sourcing strategy which works for them. Covered in our CIO Advisory and IT Business Analytics offering is identifying the skill set of your staff and developing them to fall inline with company objectives and strategy. 

This however cannot be done for all services as some services will not be a daily requirement, but will be needed for long term business continuity. These skill sets are best sub contracted and our research has shown us with the appropriate SLA contract in place, organisations have saved tens of thousands of dollars in time and financial resources by having a reputable third party on call. Some of these services CMIS Innovations can provide, however if we cannot we will guide you towards the best third party in the business. Our IT Sourcing services enable organisations to choose the option that suits them the best.  Companies need to be clear on their goals and business needs for sourcing, and analyze the pros and cons.
