It’s not easy to keep pace with technology in a highly disruptive world. How do you determine what solution best suits your business? By choosing the right partner. Let us tell you why.
The tricky part comes when it wants a ‘little bit more’ in value to make the company future-proof in an agile, cost-effective, secure and resilient way. This is where the quality and ability of the partner comes in.
You expect high quality and lower costs. But does that ensure that you can focus on what really matters – i.e. the growth of your business? Perhaps not. Standardization is important when achieving cost-efficiency, but that must not stop you from wanting more. IT has moved from being a support function for business and should now be at the core of every company. This situation will become even more evident over time. So, look for more multi-cloud advisors with state-of-the-art enterprise services and end-to-end solutions.
Your partner should be able to assess the ‘business usage’ of technology from your point of view and offer what is best suited to your business – be it Cloud, AI, machine learning, platforms, the Internet of things (IoT) or all of these combined. This result-oriented mindset will help you get more value from the product/service you invest in because your partner will have to maximize IT towards your core business.
A partner acts as a pilot maneuvering through current and future technologies, based on deep industry and technology knowledge to make sure your business has the competitive advantage.
It also plays the role of a trusted advisor and strategic partner, who jointly works with your business (and suppliers) to solve new challenges and meet the digital transformation goals of your enterprise. The partner should also have matured and well-developed relationships with its own vendors. This dimension adds to the technology landscape available.
With a good IT supplier, you are on an ongoing and exciting journey of transformation and co-innovation. So, pick a partner who has specific and relevant knowledge, combined with local presence and a global perspective.
Your partner of choice must be performance-driven and have the ability to work seamlessly in a multi-vendor ecosystem. This requires having agile and flexible development methodologies and modular and scalable system architectures that provide data and cyber security at all times.
The objective is to reduce your process turn-around time, improve customer experience, create a great customer journey, increase business uptime, reduce business process complexity and have scope for innovation. A partner who has a DevOps way of working is agile and flexible and can help you achieve that.
Good business practices always make great business sense. However, disruption, increasing Cloud maturity and changing geopolitical landscapes have all made information governance a bigger challenge. Therefore, seek out a partner who can help make transparency, security and good governance an integral part of your IT strategy.
Let’s leave the earth better than we found it for the next generation. Sustainability is good for the planet, for people and for business. Look for partners who help your business achieve sustainable outcomes with innovative solutions and business models. In most cases, these efforts go hand-in-hand with efficient IT solutions.
