The digital revolution is impacting every organisation, in every sector. Growing customer expectations and a rapidly changing competitive landscape are putting technology and data at the heart of the business’s overall strategy, driving the need for fundamental transformation.
IT transformation that tackles complex change
IT functions need to change to respond to the demands of the business. That change is highly complex in nature. It impacts every element of how an IT function works. It blurs the lines between the business and IT, who must now work closer together than ever before: rapidly deploying new digital capabilities; driving insight from data; refreshing core platforms; supporting collaboration across teams; whilst keeping the business operational and its customers safe.
To support this, IT functions need to:
- Restructure away from functional department to multi-disciplinary product teams
- Introduce governance, organisational structures and roles that focus on data and its exploitation
- Put in place tools and ways of working that support agile and DevOps approaches
- Access scarce capabilities – people who understand new technologies and ways of working
If you’re looking for an IT transformation consultancy to support you on this critical journey, Berkeley can help. We’ve enabled many of our clients to successfully navigate the complexities of the changes required to achieve the key benefits.
We were really pleased with the contribution of Berkeley throughout the project. We relied on the consultants’ thoroughness in planning, good preparation, integrity in advice for decision-making, and overall project management. This was particularly important because we were working with a team of [client company] people from different management groups, as well as several different providers across numerous international locations. The team delivered the project on time, within budget and it was one of the smoothest ‘go-lives’ of any project in recent times. A job well done by Berkeley and indeed everyone involved.”
