Our Services: IT Alignment With Business Strategy

We believe that a company's Information Technology investment should be cost effective and be aligned with a company's business goals and objectives.

All IT Projects are, in fact, business projects and ought to have a business rationale from the outset. Their success or failure ought to be charted either in financial terms or as a contribution to the business strategic plan. -- Gartner Group
