A great number of the critical business processes lies in the domain of enterprise applications.
Market dynamics and fierce competition forces organizations to look for competitive advantages in their multi-million enterprise applications whether is it Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) or core system tailored for industry specific needs.
Increased merger and acquisition activity, challenges associated with global networks and markets, continued pressure associated with regulatory compliance, and the need for more customer intimacy are driving new investment in IT as parts of large-scale enterprise transformations.
The IT landscape in an enterprise is getting more and more complex and organizations face emerging technologies such as service-oriented architecture and business process management forcing them to reassess their existing systems and look at new investments in a different light.
Organizations are facing many challenges on the IT front including:
- Overly complex environments with too many disparate applications and multiple instances of the same software
- Core system implementation
- Upgrade or enhancement that targets specific business benefits and maximizes return on investment
- A need to create more synergy from mergers and acquisitions by adopting standard industry practices backed by application standardization
- Implementation of strategy for adopting standards for enterprise applications
- Instalment of efficient vendor selection process when selecting new systems
- Better orchestration of vendors, other partners, sub-contractors and off-shore service providers
- Creating more value from the reporting and analysis capabilities to provide management information from the data captured by your systems
