What is IT planning consulting?

In order to effectively cooperate with the realization of business strategy, the rapid development of business and the rapid expansion of enterprises, enterprises actively think about introducing key business processes and management, explore new operating models, and find business operating models that support the development and expansion of enterprises to adapt to the increasingly fierce challenges. Enterprises mainly face four major challenges:

Many enterprises are very confused about the implementation of informatization and seem to have stepped into the quagmire of informatization construction. Every time they treat a headache, the original problems are not fundamentally solved, but a lot of new problems are brought. The main performance is as follows:

First, IT strategy is out of touch with corporate strategy. Without analyzing the business strategy and business needs of enterprises, the understanding of informatization stays at the level of understanding the specific solutions of manufacturers, ignoring the consistency between IT strategy and enterprise strategy, and detours, detours and wrong paths are common, lacking the guidance of enterprise informatization strategic planning. According to statistics, in the United States, more than 70% of enterprises have formally formulated IT strategic planning, and the investment accounts for about 3-5% of information investment. Most domestic enterprises have not realized this.

Second, the overall layout of enterprise information architecture is lacking. The technology, data, application standards and architecture of the information system are not clearly defined according to the information needs and market-driven needs of the business, and then the specific solution structure of the enterprise is put forward. Faced with an overwhelming variety of enterprise network solutions, such as e-commerce, decision support, ERP, CRM, SCM, BI, KM, etc. Enterprises are at a loss and can only be passively implemented, and the risks can be imagined.

Third, there is a lack of reliable implementation guarantee. The realization of enterprise informatization involves all-round system engineering problems such as organization, development, project management, operation, capital, personnel and process. Due to insufficient understanding and preparation, this is a common problem faced by traditional enterprises at present. All these are classified as "doing the right thing" or "doing the right thing". Make a decision before you move, sharpen your knife and don't miss the woodcutter. At present, the biggest problem faced by enterprise informatization is not the application system problem, not the enterprise problem, but how to formulate an informatization strategic plan suitable for the present situation, strategy, business and market of the enterprise, which can not only meet the long-term development strategy of the enterprise for 3-5 years.

Starting from the development, business strategy and business requirements of enterprises, Lishi International IT Functional Consulting puts forward the steps of enterprise IT master planning and the realization method of software system from three levels: enterprise informatization strategic planning, enterprise informatization architecture planning and enterprise informatization implementation planning, which provides efficient theoretical tools and practical support for enterprises to promote informatization construction reasonably and effectively.

2.2 the solution. The four elements of IT functional consulting enterprise management are: strategy, organization, process and technology. Among them, strategy drives the operation of the organization, the transmission of the process and the technical framework, and technology drives the realization of the strategy, the strengthening of the organization and the optimization of the process. They influence and restrict each other. The change or adjustment of any one element will involve the change of the other three elements. Therefore, enterprises must fully consider their own integration relationship in the process of reform, otherwise it will lead to the tilt or instability of enterprise architecture.

Many enterprises ignore the interaction of these four elements in the process of IT construction, which leads to the above confusion. For example, many information islands are because enterprises ignore the driving role of business strategy on technology, and IT systems become substitutes for manual labor only because enterprises do not consider the strengthening and optimization that technology can bring to organizations and processes. Newly built IT systems cannot support the sudden increase of business operations or organizational changes because enterprises do not consider the constraints and influences of organizations and businesses on technology. ...

Therefore, how to organically combine information technology with enterprise strategy, organization and process is the only way to solve the difficult problem of enterprise informatization construction. IT consulting starts from the best practices of the industry and the understanding of internal and external factors of the enterprise, obtains the key evaluation indexes of the enterprise, clarifies the strategic deployment of the enterprise, combs the business process and organizational structure, sets feasible IT planning, and realizes the close unity of enterprise strategy and IT technology.
