Consulting Services Value Proposition

Your Company requires more than experienced IT Consultants for your IT Strategy and Transformation needs. It requires a mindset that aligns with your company's objectives quickly, and the ability to think and act “beyond the four walls” of IT to help you become a more successful Enterprise. Our deep IT Strategy, Enterprise Architecture, IT Governance, ITSM, IT Architecture, and Project Portfolio Management experience combined with our approach to achieving success are the differentiating competencies that make us your Strategic Business Partner.

During our consulting engagements with Fortune 500 clients, We've learned to recognize the warning signs of a company that doesn't have a solid IT Foundation that supports its strategy. Based on comments from senior executives like the ones listed below, Amateus Consulting develops strategies and implementation plans for a Foundation for Execution that aligns business and IT and .find solutions to situations such as: - We don't know whether our company gets good value from IT. - Different parts of our company give different answers to the same customer questions.

– Meeting new regulatory or reporting requirement is a major effort for us, requiring a concerted push from the top and significant infrastructure investment.

– Our business lacks agility – every new strategic initiative is like starting from scratch.– IT is consistently a bottleneck.– There are different business processes completing the same activity across the

company, each with a different system.– Information needed to make key products and customer decisions is not available.– A significant part of people's jobs is to take data from one set of systems, manipulate

it, and enter it into other systems.– Senior management dreads discussing IT agenda items.

Summary

Based on thse type of symptoms, Amateus Consulting can advise Your Company how to resolve such pain-points with a strategy and transformation implementation approach (below) that enables Your Company to achieve high-profitability, increase agility and reduce IT operational costs (.4% vs 2.5% of earnings).

become the nor for e-trading
