IT Strategy

IT organizations remain under pressure to align IT investments with business needs in ways that go beyond individual solutions to the services their organizations provide.

At The Revere Group, we understand that today’s IT services delivery demands a disciplined people-process-technology approach based upon best practices and industry-accepted frameworks. The Revere Group’s IT Strategy services can accelerate time-to-value by combining experienced consulting talent with proven methods, intellectual property, and deep industry expertise to offer clients pragmatic, informed and actionable solutions. Our Organizational Change Management services help organizations navigate through significant transformation initiatives.

Our IT Strategy services include the following core offerings:

IT Strategy Development and IT Solution Planning

Most organizations lack an IT strategy clearly expressed in both business value and technology terms. The Revere Group’s IT Strategy methodology translates key business drivers into a compelling IT vision and tightly linked strategic IT initiatives. Our Clarity Workshop approach brings together your IT business executives to evaluate different investment scenarios and deliver an actionable portfolio of initiatives with clear business value, resource and timing interdependencies. We help you drive to clarity through requirements identification, options analysis, business value analysis, technical feasibility and resource estimation. The result is an actionable and achievable road map. In parallel, The Revere Group will also develop detailed Solution Plans for individual, high-value initiatives within the road map.

IT Process Optimization

The strength of IT processes, standards, and management tools can determine whether IT Optimization initiatives fundamentally improve key capabilities or fall short of expectations. To make sure you gain a return, The Revere Group delivers a comprehensive offering of business-oriented processes such as Demand Management, Portfolio Management, Program/Project Management, Resource Management, Financial Management and Business Relationship Management. In addition, we deliver technical and operational processes including service delivery and service management processes such as Testing, Change Control, Release Management, Configuration Management and Incident Management. With each of these processes, we leverage our substantial engagement-ready intellectual property and skills in assessing and adapting best practice frameworks to suit individual client needs.

IT Project Management Office (PMO)

The IT PMO further extends an IT organization into the business realm. It provides core IT planning and portfolio management services, program and project management, and governance to business partners. The Revere Group’s PMO framework assesses current PMO effectiveness, its linkage to corporate processes and can help evolve an IT PMO into an Enterprise PMO (ePMO). At The Revere Group, we understand the complexities involved in supporting multiple facets of a PMO and have designed our PMO Maturity Models to help you correlate PMO capabilities to corresponding process competencies. Once adapted to your situation, our PMO Maturity Models become a detailed blueprint for the implementation or enhancement of your PMO.

Software Selection and Sourcing

In today’s environment, technology is a core enabler for most business strategies. The Revere Group’s software selection and process sourcing methodology provides you with a toolset and the experience necessary to navigate the complexities of selecting the right solution provider to meet your business needs. Our approach spans requirements gathering, RFP development, vendor demonstrations and vendor selection/negotiations, and ensures a smooth transition into solution implementation activities. We work closely with you to ensure that your vendor selection process enables you to upgrade, replace or migrate to best-in-class application solutions.
