The Noel Group

Experienced Delivery

Cost Management

Any successful organisation wants to align its IT services and programmes with its business strategy, to maximise business benefit delivery from its projects, and to play its part in cost reduction.  Clearly as business profitability comes under extreme pressure these are all critical to business survival, not just good professional IT management.  

Even in the best run IT organisations, frequent changes in technology, strategic direction, information needs, business priorities etc all conspire to make yesterday’s exemplary IT organisation a drain on resources or even worse, a constraint on the business today.  

But how do you keep your internal staff informed and up to speed and thus able to keep your IT organisation as lean and fit as the best of breed?  The answer is that you can’t without regular recruitment of external knowledge that can in turn become blinkered.  

The Noel Group consultants have extremely broad and deep knowledge across the IT industry and many years of experience of leading strategic changes to IT organisations and frankly of rescuing the odd few.   TNG have a very simple approach based on the following stages:  

  1. Full analysis of the current position from the deepest technical aspects through to culture, plus the future business and IT strategies and objectives.
  2. Analysis of what “best of breed” organisations do both within your sector and beyond it
  3. Creation of an aggressive but achievable roadmap for short and longer term IT change with:
  1. Development of a detailed short term plan including  “quick wins” and a high level long term plan
