Proven Model for Success

Finding true business value
Its unquestionably true that organizations are frustrated in dealing with IT companies. The problem is that projects never seem to be delivered on time or bring the benefits they claim. The typical model of scoping, implementing and supporting a project ignores how enduring value will accrue to a customer. All too often, determining business value from IT is at best estimated or not even considered. It doesnt have to be this way.
