IT Strategy Planning

Changing Your IT Is Good. Our IT Strategy Planning Makes it Better.

Some companies opt for point IT solutions to solve their business challenges. Others go for a more holistic approach, using comprehensive IT strategy planning to achieve their goals. If you fall into the latter category, you won’t settle for merely swapping out one piece of equipment or software for another, or implementing new technology for its own sake. You want to transform your approach to IT by better aligning your business and technology strategies. You want the Savvis Transformation Methodology (STM).

A Proven Process for Transforming Your Business.

If you’re looking for an IT vision and an actionable roadmap on how to reach it, you’ve come to the right place. STM is Savvis' consultative approach to helping companies transform their existing IT infrastructures. STM helps companies move from an unsatisfactory current state to a desired yet cost-effective future one. STM provides an independent way for the customer to objectively assess whether — and how — its infrastructure can be improved to enable better business success.

Savvis Transformation Methodology applies a seven-step approach:

Step 1. You determine your core IT functions and compare them to the Savvis flexible services model.
Step 2. We organize a Solution Development Workshop to assess your current state, make recommendations based on industry best practices, and outline a roadmap to help you move to your optimal future state.
Step 3. We jointly conduct financial modeling to provide you with value-based decision support. The key objective is to build a cost-effective model over an agreed-upon timeframe.
Step 4. A physical migration plan is created to illustrate a clear agenda for achieving your goals.
Step 5. The Savvis transformation team executes end-to-end program management to ensure your success.
Step 6. The Savvis IT support structure integrates with your internal teams and stays with you throughout the transformation to a steady state environment.
Step 7. We jointly track agreed-upon metrics to ensure that we are meeting your objectives.
