Continual shifts and changes in the IT industry make it difficult to find, develop, and retain a high-quality IT workforce with current skillsets. IT also makes it difficult to optimize your IT organizational structure as new technologies, cost paradigms, and business requirements impact your IT service portfolio. We help clients optimize their IT organizations with the services below.
Even with highly-skilled IT staff and the latest technologies in your portfolio, IT organizations with too little or too much IT governance and operational process can be inefficient and struggle to provide value to their stakeholders. With the following services, we help IT organizations develop the appropriate amount of governance and process to ensure value delivery to your customers.
No industry changes faster than IT, so every IT organization scrambles to keep up with the requirements of their business partners who are using technological innovation to better serve the end customers of the organization. We not only help you implement new technologies, we help you standardize your enterprise and manage the technology lifecycle from implementation through retirement.
With Tech.FrameWorks! your organization benefits not only from our experience, but also from the professional frameworks, tools, and templates we bring to every engagement to accelerate your success. We partner with you to develop the best approach, and then let you take the credit for successful initiatives.

Continual shifts and changes in the IT industry make it difficult to find, develop, and retain a high-quality IT workforce with current skillsets. IT also makes it difficult to optimize your IT organizational structure as new technologies, cost paradigms, and business requirements impact your IT service portfolio. We help clients optimize their IT organizations with the services below.
We help our clients assess both their IT organization and staff and then work together to develop a future strategy and roadmap for the organization. The next step is to build detailed organization designs, staff development plans, and implementation program plans. We can always assist with implementation and teambuilding if needed.
Aligned closely with the services above, we can help you assess your current IT vendors and also assess which IT services should be sourced by external providers, and then work together to develop a sourcing strategy and roadmap. Next, we assist with vendor selection, contract negotiations, implementation program plan development, as well as implementation management.
We provide interim IT executive and management staffing when you have a short-term need until permanent staff can be hired. We are also seasoned program and project managers and can lead almost any IT initiatives for your organization. Finally, we provide professional coaching services for both IT executives and managers.

Even with highly-skilled IT staff and the latest technologies in your portfolio, IT organizations with too little or too much IT governance and operational process can be inefficient and struggle to provide value to their stakeholders. With the following services, we help IT organizations develop the appropriate amount of governance and process to ensure value delivery to your customers.
Not only can we lead your most critical IT programs and rescue fledgling projects, we can also assess your project methodology and current portfolio of initiatives. We can design process and portfolio improvements and hep you implement them. Also, since project methodologies in most organizations focus on software development, we developed our Lean IT Infrastructure Project Methodology with Project Accelerator Tools. We've implemented this at clients to provide appropriate governance for infrastructure projects without the heavy bureaucracy of most methodologies which inhibit agility and time to market.
We help customers assess business-IT strategic alignment and then develop and implement new IT strategies to improve value delivery to your business. We can also assess your IT governance framework and then develop and implement new governance strategies. We can assess your organization's IT costs, develop investment and cost saving recommendations, and then help you implement changes. Finally we can assess your strategic architecture and engineering process, technology standards, and disaster recovery process, and develop and implement changes.
IT organizations deliver value through IT services. We can help you assess your current service management and operational process maturity, portfolio of services, service desk operations, as well as your service and systems management tool portfolios. We then develop strategies and roadmaps for improvement as well as detailed designs and implementation plans. As with all our services, we can always help you implement your plans.

No industry changes faster than IT, so every IT organization scrambles to keep up with the requirements of their business partners who are using technological innovation to better serve the end customers of the organization. We not only help you implement new technologies, we help you standardize your enterprise and manage the technology lifecycle from implementation through retirement.
We help clients assess part or all of their IT infrastructure, develop future strategies and roadmaps, create program plans for implementation, and actually manage implementations. We can also assess your Technology Lifecycle Management (TLM) process, make recommendations, and help with the implementation.
To help you optimize your investment in data centers, we can assess your facilities, operations, tools, and costs. After the assessments, we can help you develop strategies and roadmaps for the future. We are not a data center facility engineering firm, but we can help you work with your facilities experts to ensure IT requirements are met in design and construction as we help manage the overall data center project. We can also help you manage the design and implementation of IT in the data center as well as optimizing your data center operational processes.
We can help you inventory and assess part or all of your enterprise application portfolio, develop future strategies and roadmaps, create program plans to implement changes, and actually manage implementations. We can also assess your Application LIfecycle Management (ALM) process, make recommendations, and help with the implementation.
As the drive to push more to the cloud continues, we can help your organization assess potential cloud solutions and develop and implement strategies for both Platform as a Service (PaaS) and Software as a Service (SaaS) solutions.
