IT STRATEGY PPT TEMPLATE DESCRIPTION
How do you codify key decisions for your teams on what delivery option to take for new applications and services? This document describes in detail an analysis framework and approach to how organisations can make key decisions when they are seeking buying or building solution options. With the range of various solution option proliferating post the advent of cloud and SaaS organisations often struggle to make the decision on what applications they should build them selves and what they should be buying from a vendor.
This framework also adds into the decision framework options and consideration of partnering. Not partnering just for the realisation of the application but partnering in the intellectual property sense.
The framework can be used in a stepwise process taking firstly in to account the most important criteria and then adding in additional criteria that can be optional. We have presented our views within the document of how the framework criteria can influence the outcome logic but we advise practitioners that it is the discussion around the criteria and the localisation of your own priorities that will lead you to the right option and not just following our opinion.
Understanding the nuances of the Buy vs. Build decision-making process is critical for any organization aiming to optimize its operational efficiency. This PPT provides a structured approach to evaluate the implications of each option, including the potential for partnerships. The definitions and pace layers outlined will help you assess how different applications align with your business capabilities, ensuring that your choice is not just a shot in the dark, but a strategic move based on solid criteria.
The FACT relevance ranking serves as a practical tool to gauge the suitability of various delivery options against key characteristics like finance and agility. By leveraging this framework, executives can make informed decisions that reflect their unique organizational priorities. This document is designed to empower leaders to engage in meaningful discussions around these criteria, ultimately guiding them to the most effective delivery strategy for their specific needs.
