Transitioning IT Systems: Current vs. Future State


This PPT slide, part of the 30-slide IT Strategy PowerPoint presentation, outlines a comparative analysis of an IT system and service, focusing on its current and future states. It is structured into three main characteristics: Portfolio/Usage, Users, and Availability/Performance, along with Integration/Interfacing.

In the current state, the organization employs a variety of systems, specifically mentioning ACT! and Rainmaker. This suggests a fragmented approach that could lead to inefficiencies. The user base is primarily internal, reliant on office-based operations, which limits flexibility. There are significant challenges with data synchronization, requiring manual intervention, particularly for personal and corporate data. Remote access issues further complicate operations, indicating a need for improvement.

The future state envisions a unified system that serves as a single enterprise solution. This shift aims to enhance user connectivity, allowing both connected and disconnected users access. External access for customers and partners is a notable improvement, indicating a move towards greater inclusivity and responsiveness. The future state also emphasizes marketing capabilities, ensuring business data availability even during outages, and synchronization for disconnected users.

Integration and interfacing are also set to evolve. The current limitations in data sharing between departments highlight a critical area for development. The future state proposes an interface with a customer information database to facilitate better data sharing across business groups. Enhanced access to application logic and tiered access to product data reflect a strategic move towards more robust data management and user engagement.

This slide serves as a foundational overview for decision-makers considering the transition to a more integrated and efficient IT system. It highlights both the challenges of the current state and the strategic opportunities presented in the future state.
