With our quick scans we can focus on different aspects of the current contribution of IT to the success of your organization. We give answers to, among other things, the following questions:

  • Transparency: how much are you spending on IT, what type of spend and for what purpose?
  • Insights: what options do you have for reallocating and reducing costs?
  • Data: how does the data in your internal processes and systems currently support your demand for cost reduction and innovation?
  • Quick wins: which areas are ideally suited to significantly improve IT spend or performance in a short time?
The determination of the realisation of the goals is done together. We will create a strategy with a concrete plan of action within a few weeks. We draw up this plan with the employees and departments involved, in order to increase commitment and confidence in the chosen solution. The strategic plan provides answers to questions such as:

  • Which projects and scenarios effectively contribute to improving the performance of IT?
  • Within which timeframe will we achieve the desired results?
  • Which impact do these projects have on your processes, people, systems and data?
  • How do we ensure that your employees successfully familiarize themselves with these changes?
  • Which obstacles can we expect and already anticipate?
We are used to deliver implementations based on a results obligation and fixed price. This guarantees no unexpected surprises for your budget. We attach great importance to a clear process, clear agreements and measurable interim results. We focus on:

  • Predetermined objectives, activities and planning;
  • Clear division of tasks and responsibilities between It’s Value and your organization;
  • Step-by-step implementation of new processes, systems and working methods;
  • Frequent feedback of interim results and points for attention.
Changes need time to be adopted in an organization. Another way of working, reporting or managing has an impact on your employees. That requires the right attention and guidance, especially if the goals of the project are of great importance. Therefore we pay attention during the whole process to:

  • Improving mutual cooperation within teams and across departments;
  • Coaching employees on behaviour and team effectiveness;
  • Training employees in the use of new processes and systems;
  • Transferring knowledge and skills so you can continue independently.
As a result of our approach, client organizations have experienced outstanding results such as:
– Transparency in their IT expenses,
– Realizing 5 to 30% savings on certain parts of the operational IT expenses,
– Savings up to 80% of time spent within the budgeting and/or reporting processes,
– Savings up to 30% on Cloud expenses,
– Better and faster decision making based on the clear picture of which (new) techniques and services provide the most added value for the business,
– And reduction of the total annual operational IT costs by 3 – 5%, which creates the possibility to invest in IT solutions that are in line with the digitalization strategy of your company.

Our expertise

Successful implementations are the result of a right mix of attention for process, technology and people. Our integrated approach helps you to achieve lasting performance improvements.

PROCESS

Technology Business Management

We work according to the framework and philosophy of Technology Business Management (TBM). In the first place, TBM helps you to model and report management information faster and more reliably. Secondly, it offers you the opportunity to connect the digital world of IT with your business. This allows you to use technology as a lever for better business performance.

TBM structures your IT cost management, improves the connection between your internal software systems and automates your reporting cycle, so you can focus on effectively managing your organization.

Technology

Implementation

Achievements become visible only when they are measured, shared and understood. That is why we establish the Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) that are necessary for the effective management of your organization. We will create the technology layer which supports you in ensuring the chosen KPIs are reported frequently and for the most part automatically.

Your time will not be wasted in manually collecting data and making reports. You can spend your precious time analyzing the outcomes and deciding which actions to take to improve your results.

People

Continuity & Change

Processes and technology are there for support, but your employees make the difference. Effective cooperative behavior has repeatedly proven to be decisive for the success of projects and to guarantee the continuity of implemented improvements.
With our experience in the field of change management, we ensure optimum cohesion between processes, technology and employees. In this way we help teams to implement changes quickly and to achieve the desired results. We do this according to a specific approach that leads to lasting improvements in team effectiveness and mutual cooperation
