With IT Maturity Technology Advancement training, you will feel the advantages of your IT team focusing their efforts on identifying technological advancements that directly
pertain to the processes of your business.
High-Level Architecture Views
In High-Level Architecture Views, your team will hear how to create
lightweight enterprise views of your technology and why UML, CMMi, Six Sigma, TOGAF and other bureaucratic methodologies should be avoided when creating technology big pictures.
In order to establish common understanding across the technology and leadership teams it is vital
that high level architecture pictures are created that provide a one stop view of IT infrastructure, applications, and services.
Does it take forever to obtain technical details from your IT organization? Are technology
improvements stuck because different technology teams are waiting on one another? Then click here to schedule a discussion.

Technology Performance
With Technology Performance, you will see how to prevent Technopolists from putting technology
before business (i.e. the cart before the horse).
Correlations between technology performance and business usage need to created so that calculations
can be made with respect to how growth in business usage will impact technology requirements.
Are you unaware of how business usage correlates with technology performance? Are you unaware of
how much of your hardware is actually utilized? Is your team oblivious to how business usage changes
will quantitatively impact your infrastructure? Does your team wait till problems occur? Does each new
project bring in its own hardware? Are you unaware of how many alerts your IT centers have on a weekly basis and if they correlate with business impact? Then click here to schedule a discussion.
Architecture Change
In Architecture Change, your team will learn new ways to deal with
continual technology change that is only accelerating.
Vendors, both hardware and software, are continually improving and
changing their products. It is essential that IT organizations track, predict, and prepare for these changes on a regular basis.
Are your commercially purchased IT components out of their standard support cycles? Are you paying
extra costs for extended support? Do updates of different commercial software packages collide with one another? Are large projects required to update COTS packages? Are the newest features being
underutilized or left unevaluated for potential business impact? Then click here to schedule a discussion.
Business Metrics
When Covering Business Metrics, you will hear how to prioritize the resolution of issues related to the
complexity of IT’s impact on the business.
Quantitative business metrics should be created to measure and prioritize the reliability and
responsiveness of the enterprise's architecture and technology.
Is your team addressing issues that have no business impact? Are issues that have significant
business impact left to fester or occur again and again? Then click here to schedule a discussion.
