Strategy and Planning for Software plus Services
Through our Strategy and Planning for Software plus Services, an experienced consultant will work with your business and IT leaders over the course of six to twelve weeks to develop a strategy, architecture plan, business case, and value measures that will help your organization realize the full potential of software-plus-services. You can choose from two complementary engagement types depending on your needs: a long-term, strategic engagement that takes into consideration the future Microsoft technology road map or a shorter engagement that explores the immediate benefits of the Microsoft Business Productivity Online Suite. Both options provide your business with the following:
1. Strategy Plan. A plan designed to facilitate understanding between business and IT, and set clear expectations for software-plus-services.
2. Business Case. A rigorous methodology for recognizing a range of business benefits from a software-plus-services approach.
3. Value Measurements. These measurements provide key performance indicators that will help you track and measure service delivery.
4. Architectural Plan. A high-level plan that identifies service dependencies and systems and information architecture requirements for your software-plus-services initiative.
