The Roland Berger Information Management Team supports companies around the globe to align their IT with their business strategy.

[RolandBergerIM @RolandBergerIM]

The typical setup of a two-tier IT delivery model consists of global and local production centers #insourcing

[RolandBergerIM @RolandBergerIM]

Examples for services of a #sourcingcatalogue: communication, data center, support applications, applications for corporate functions

[RolandBergerIM @RolandBergerIM]

Before considering sourcing options, a full standardization of the IT service catalogue has to be performed #ITsourcing

[RolandBergerIM @RolandBergerIM]

In oder to apply the #selective_sourcing approach, a break down of an IT-service into its production elements is necessary

[RolandBergerIM @RolandBergerIM]

Optimized #insourcing describes the consolidation of services and implementation of global production centers #ITsourcing

[RolandBergerIM @RolandBergerIM]

There are three main options for an #IT_sourcing strategy: Optimized insourcing, full outsourcing and selective sourcing #sourcing_options

[RolandBergerIM @RolandBergerIM]

Benefits of #IT_outsourcing: Access to state-of-the-art technology and significant cost reduction by realizing economies of scale

[RolandBergerIM @RolandBergerIM]

Typical initial sourcing problems are: Lack of sourcing strategy, decentralized procurement and missing provider management #itsourcing

[RolandBergerIM @RolandBergerIM]

During all project phases, the #IT_program_management focuses on decision making, transparency and steering of the #IT_integration

[RolandBergerIM @RolandBergerIM]

#IT_program_management has to monitor cost & synergies. In case of deviation, additional actions have to be defined #it_integration

[RolandBergerIM @RolandBergerIM]

Governance of #IT_program_management secures conformity with blueprint as well as the overall implementation success #it_integration

[RolandBergerIM @RolandBergerIM]

#System_integrators should be adequately incentivized to achieve synergy targets (reward over-performance, penalize under-performance)

[RolandBergerIM @RolandBergerIM]

Ensure checks & balances by separating operational IT delivery and overall IT program steering #merger #IT_integration

[RolandBergerIM @RolandBergerIM]

IT levers offer significant synergy potential, e.g. application rationalization, server consolidation, improved IT sourcing mix #PMI

[RolandBergerIM @RolandBergerIM]

#PMI_guidelines are required to reduce complexity and accelerate the decision making process #IT_integration

[RolandBergerIM @RolandBergerIM]

In the scope of #IT_integration projects, future growth strategies must be considered in the scalability of new #IT_target_platforms

[RolandBergerIM @RolandBergerIM]

An #IT_target_platforms should be selected based on the following criteria: stability, performance, scalability, functionality and economics

[RolandBergerIM @RolandBergerIM]

#merger #IT_integration options:1)Compl. redevelopment 2)Best of both worlds 3)Integrate landscapes and fill gaps 4)Define a leading system

[RolandBergerIM @RolandBergerIM]

The success of a #merger depends heavily on a successful #IT_integration as IT drives the majority of the synergy potential
