IT Strategy

To face the challenges posed by a market going through an economic crisis, businesses must deploy  an effective and efficient IT growth strategy; the required strategic approach cannot be limited to a list of costs which must be cut. Through the identification of adequate guidelines for technology evolution, businesses can deploy the strategy defined by the Top Management and achieve a substantial business growth using IT to ensure a competitive edge.

Reply boasts consolidated expertise in this field and is able to offer all the support required for the definition of a successful IT strategy. Thanks to its wide expertise in the System Integration area,  it has learned important lessons from its specific experiences and created a virtuous circle of knowledge resulting from concrete projects and not only from a theoretical approach.

In the last years, particular focus has been given to the outsourcing of IT services. The expertise gained is driving us to two apparently inconsistent directions: on the one hand, there are the expectations related to the IT SaaS management which is expected to be the new frontier of IT services. On the other hand, there is the failure of a significant number of outsourcing contracts that, even though in force, have produced a widespread dissatisfaction within many companies.  Dissatisfaction is often related to SLAs which are optimized from an economic point of view, but which are also ineffective in terms of the relevant support provided to day-by-day activities. This   challenge is and will be one of the core issues of the IT strategies for the next 10 years.
