Mapping Business Strategies to Technology
 

We focus on helping map your business strategy to the optimal technology. Today’s executives, CIOs and IT Managers are challenged with diminishing budgets and increasing end user requirements. With profitability and competitive pressures mounting, the priority today is to realize greater business value from your IT investments.

The STA Solution Sets extend our focus on “Mapping Business Strategies to Technology” with specific product and services offerings to address mid-market customer business requirements and challenges.

Under the STAMap methodology, technology is only a tool to solve your business problem. The core of the methodology is your business.

Current cost of the challenge. Before we can begin to define a solution, we must understand the current cost to your organization of the business problem. Until we can define this together, we have no way to make a recommendation on a solution. The STAMap methodology requires this step. If we are unable to define this cost, the methodology prevents us from providing any pricing or solution to you.
» ROI Analysis. Once the cost of the problem is determined, we are able to define the scope and cost of a solution. Additionally, we are able to conduct a financial ROI to encompass current asset value, current depreciation status and method (including any accelerated or bonus Section 179 depreciation and penalties, straight-line, DDB, SOYD), current expense stream, operating or capital term financing to include testing against FASB 13, headcount impact, key financial ratios (liquidity, ownership, profitability and activity), etc. All of these items are considered in the ROI analysis against the current costs.
» Solution Benefits. Once the solution has passed the financial analysis, the STAMap methodology requires testing for operational benefits. We must meet or exceed current SLAs, enhance and streamline current operational process and procedures, and provide a non-disruptive technology migration path.

The STAMap methodology is proprietary and has evolved over many years of refinement with input from thousands of customers. It fosters a robust, ROI driven approach in recommending the best technology aligned with your business strategy and challenges by relating the IT investment to your company’s bottom line.
