  1. IACT 901 Module 9 Establishing Technology Strategy - Scope & Purpose IACT 901 Module 9

  2. Range of Topic Covers recommended solutions, guidelines, standards & approaches for all computer & communications technologies All computers - largest to smallest, specialised & general purpose All use of external & quasi-external IT services IACT 901 Module 9

  3. Range of Topic All communications - voice & digital, including mobile units Application development methods, tech’s, tools and vendors IACT 901 Module 9

  4. Scope & Purpose Cont. • Assessing current IT status • Resent installed hardware • Software systems, languages, databases • Personnel skills • Commitment to present systems • Commitment with present systems • Work planned & in progress • New start ups • ‘Givens’ IACT 901 Module 9

  5. What Premise Are We Operating Under? • Business requirements should be filtered through a number of layers • Firstly, transformed into set of loadings on application systems portfolio • Secondly, into a set of workloads supported by set of technology environments  • Applications implementation decisions should become limited to selection of the appropriate type of technical environment IACT 901 Module 9

  6. What Are the Benefits? • Provision of ready-made, proven solutions to standards business requirements & problems • More effective sharing of core databases across business where relevant & appropriate • Improved ability to provide IT support to new business or units • Easier provision of timely, accurate, information flows in standard format • Standardisation of information flows IACT 901 Module 9

  7. What Are the Benefits? • Ability to sustain efficient information flows & support to units • More effective integration of application systems & technical solutions • More effective technical solutions attained through requirement being clearly identified & common elements highlighted IACT 901 Module 9

  8. What Are the Benefits? • Easier & more efficient method of assessing effect of alternative activity patterns • Range of recommended technical components may be treated as a single pool of candidate solutions • Questions of vendor and component qualification, range capacity & inter-component compatibility addressed once IACT 901 Module 9

  9. Application Requirements Defined • Future platforms must offer good basis for long-term evolution • Need to support further evolution of business strategy • Need for flexibility in terms of: • Types of business support the platform can sustain IACT 901 Module 9

  10. Application Requirements Defined • Locations of users, processing nodes & database locations • Range of workload requires to be handled at any location • Range of types of network connectivity required IACT 901 Module 9

  11. Application Requirements Defined Volatility in the physical topology - capacity, environmental tolerance of the equipment Assessment & management of potential areas of business risk associated with IT strategy options IACT 901 Module 9

  12. Long -Term Basis for Evolution Requires: • Application development & maintenance should be easy, fast, certain & cost effective. • Effective control over integrity, availability, resilience, security & physical distribution. • Good platform for packages. IACT 901 Module 9

  13. Long -Term Basis for Evolution Requires: • Should enable easy compliance with mandatory standards. • Access should be uniform regardless of location of users. • Wide range of useable ‘scalability’ necessary. • Support for key networking roles, especially client/server. IACT 901 Module 9

  14. Long -Term Basis for Evolution Requires: • Applications must be able to be moved easily between different platforms & environments. IACT 901 Module 9

  15. Long -Term Basis for Evolution Requires: • Effective data management. • Good support for business devolution. IACT 901 Module 9

  16. Long -Term Basis for Evolution Requires: • High level of environmental tolerance. IACT 901 Module 9

  17. Long -Term Basis for Evolution Requires: Computing environment should require little human intervention and place low demands on user expertise. IACT 901 Module 9

  18. Next Module - Plan Delivery The End IACT 901 Module 9
