Evolving Information Technology

A Gartner Group study on the role of IT within enterprises predicts that by 2003, the following will occur. The role of IT will be so fundamentally different from what it is today that it will be virtually unrecognizable. 75 percent of IT organizations will focus on brokering resources rather than being direct providers of services. Increased outsourcing will mean that IT managers will assume the responsibility for coordinating the performance of multiple workforces. Business and IT skills will make up 65 percent of the internal IT skills portfolio; technology-intensive skills will be bought externally. Everyone from CEOs to shareholders will scrutinize IT investments, and IT decisions will be subject to more rigorous planning, analysis, and review.

Analysts agree, noting that in 2002 the outsourcing market will help companies trim costs around non-core business requirements, squeezing the most efficiency out of systems and applications already bearing an investment.

Now more than ever, your investments must impact the bottom line! The time to market and stability of the solution can not be compromised. Too much time is wasted architecting, staffing, writing and testing. History has taught us that the organizations that continue to invest their resources in the most profitable areas, with the most predictable outcome will prevail. Managers that can not calculate risk and deliver projects on time will continue to cost your organization resources that can never be replaced. Time is always of the essence and Putnam Technical Group understands and delivers, ensuring consistent and predictable results for completed projects. This is not a new concept to us, the Putnam Technical Group has been helping corporations succeed for over twenty years!
