Moving to ITaaS is a challenge for many organisations used to the traditional mode of deploying a one-off IT solution in response to a business demand. While there are
many unique factors which make up an organisation’s transition, let’s review five simple steps to getting you on the path to ITaaS.
IT is often seen as a “product” response to a business requirement. A goal like “we spent six months deploying our new insurance system” is not uncommon. In the world of ITaaS, IT is more of a platform which can be used to support multiple business outcomes.
This may seem obvious, but vendors and service providers can be very product and project focused. There will always be a need for products and project work, but in an ITaaS-centric model they are delivered on a consumption basis. The key benefit here is the business can start to see a return without having to commit to a large capital expenditure. With Tecala cloud services and IT-as-a-Service provider, everything is taken care of, and includes comprehensive remote monitoring; capacity planning; and diagnostics of servers, desktops, and all network devices.
This is another, somewhat artificial, barrier organisations face when moving to ITaaS. Many IT budgets are divided into allocations of capital and operating expenditures. ITaaS is fundamentally and Opex financial model so the less restrictions in Opex spending the better.
ITaaS presents a good opportunity to overcome the age-old problem of alignment. ITaaS is all about business outcomes powered IT, so it makes sense to get both business and IT stakeholders involved with supplier engagements.
With the ITaaS building blocks in place, it’s time to review how the ROI of ICT solutions and services is calculated. In the project world it’s all about seeing a return after a set time period like three to five years. ITaaS rewrites the ROI equation and value can be expected more immediately.
