Problem:
Technology Inertia and Complexity
Most enterprise technology infrastructures have grown up in an ad hoc manner over many years, with heterogeneous applications, hardware, systems and processes being commissioned at different times, by different people in response to business demands. There is a growing mismatch between these sometimes chaotic technology resources and the services that IT departments increasingly need to support or deliver. Existing enterprise IT cannot easily support the scalable, secure, high quality IT services needed today- both inside the enterprise and in its extended ecosystem of partners and customers. The Silo's Infrastructure has given rise to high complexity and costs.
• 75% of IT budget is now spent on ongoing operations
• Operating expenses is 7-8 times greater than cost of capital expenditure
• High rate of change causes Instability
• Miss-configuration causes 78% downtime
• Difficult to manage multiple applications, data, software, hardware, networks)
• The existing Infrastructure is so rigid that the business is unable to respond quickly to market changes.
Solution:
Shared Services + Virtualization
Architecture helps a company to look at enterprise technology in a different way. It is neither simply about the technical structure of an enterprise network nor about the distribution of program logic over application tiers. It begins with a Shared Service-based approach: looking at technology in terms of delivered value to the users and reusing services. A different mindset is therefore, a basic requirement for gaining maximum benefit from IT Architecture and an architectural vision is needed to guide every organisation. So as long as IT leaders focus on a shared service-based portfolio, with services measured on delivery of value, they will automatically connect IT strategy to business strategy. IT Architecture is therefore designed to make sense of a very complex subject. Virtualisation enables organisations to lower IT cost through increased efficiency, flexibility and responsiveness by leveraging server, storage and network infrastructure. Virtualisation decouples software from the hardware, in other words a single server can act and behave as multiple, independent servers. Developing a good architecture means employing good architects, or re-training IT professionals and this is a primary concern for the CIO. The CIO is tasked with finding the right people and shaping them into a disciplined and effective enterprise team. There are not enough IT architects and, without their rigour and specialised skills, the most innovative vision will remain no more than a nice theory.
MTC Global Services provides IT architectural Service (Training and consultancy) to organisations and IT professionals to help bridge the skills shortage in the market place.
Business Benefits of IT Architecture:
As business leaders demand higher performance standards and lower investment costs from their IT departments, IT architects are playing a vital role in managing risk, maximising return on investment, ensuring consistency and quality standards. Today’s enterprise needs coherent and effective IT architecture, According to Meta Group, IT architecture consistently ranks in the top 5 priorities of Global 2000 companies. Dell’s Order-to-Build marketing strategy is a good example of a sound implementation of an enterprise wide IT architecture. Dell’s business processes and systems are fast, flexible and responsive to changes because of their ability to collaborate with suppliers and partners and at the same time offering their customers with real-time marketing and dynamic pricing. IT Architecture involves investment in people, process, technology, and interfacing standards. Its purpose is to help improve an organisations capabilities by maximizing business agility and reducing the cost of IT developments and operationsn[6]. Other business benefits to the organisations includes faster response to customer priorities and reduced time to market, higher end-to-end process value and reduced cost of change. IT architecture also allows a business to change its processes and radically improve its ability to service market. The emergence of a true IT architecture profession will reap these business benefits and there are signs that these are now beginning to happen. IT architecture is the key to successful systems development in both business and government, and the IT architect works, not as a lone genius but as a member of a team with common standards and practices.
Our Enterprise IT Architects:
IT architecture goes to the very heart of the core systems and processes for every organisation and it affects virtually every aspect of that company’s life. Operational efficiency, quality of service to customers, ability to mitigate risk through ecosystem working: these all ultimately rest on the efficiency, security, reliability and scalability of the enterprise IT required by every function and every interaction.
Thanks to the ways in which IT infrastructures have developed over the years, by a process of almost accidental accretion, there is too much inertia and complexity in most enterprise infrastructures to cope with the pressing need for rapid, event-driven business change that our unpredictable market conditions now make mandatory. Trying to cope with these issues through further ad hoc changes will, in the end, only make the problem worse. Architectural vision is the key to evolving new forms of fluid, scalable IT infrastructures needed to make management’s fast-moving, responsive business vision become reality.
Yet the right resources and experience are in short supply. There are not enough IT architects to face every challenge and, without their rigour and specialised skills, the most innovative vision will remain no more than a nice theory. Our Enterprise IT Architects provides the necessary training to IT professionals and consultancy and training to the government and businesses
