Project Management
Project management is about knowing exactly what your goals are, how you’re going to achieve them, what resources you’ll need, and how long it will take you to reach that specific goal. In fact, project management’s goal is to make sure that everyone involved in a project knows these and is aware of the purpose of the project.
Compliance Services
Because of real threats to sensitive information, certain industries are required by law to be compliant with certain standards, especially when dealing with customer information. There’s COBRA, Federal and IRS reporting duties, Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), to name a few. Each one has their own set of standards and guidelines, definitions and goals. HIPAA, for example, requires covered entities to comply with their industry-wide guidelines to protect the confidential use of personal healthcare information.
Strategic Planning
An information technology (IT) strategic plan is a document that details the comprehensive technology-enabled business management processes an organization uses to guide operations. It serves as a guide to IT-related decision making, with IT tasks prioritized and implemented using the plan as a framework.
The plan also helps guide an organization as it formulates its overall IT strategy. While an IT strategy focuses on how IT will help the business succeed, an IT strategic plan is a roadmap to help the business implement those strategies. The plan outlines areas where IT can contribute business value and where an organization can gain competitive advantage by making the best use of technology resources.
The objectives outlined in an organization's IT strategic plan align with the organization's goalsand mission, but are pliable enough to accommodate new business priorities and technologies that have the potential for driving business growth. It is important for an organization's IT team to know its priorities and identify the IT projects that the business should invest in. According to Gartner, an IT research and consultancy company, the plan delineates what has to be done, in what priority and how the plan's success will be measured.
