High performance
in the ICT world
The ICT world, which is no different from the other more mature
industrial sectors, has become and will always be a world of
assembly between different products and services, an integration
of systems and performances provided by different sources, and a
sequence of tasks and functions that must be perfectly
interconnected in the long run.
Our philosophy
Our philosophy balances two sides of the scales. One side sees
many suppliers, each potentially able to offer the best of their
speciality at the best cost. The other side, however, requires
that they provide a formidable improvement in the capacity for
governing, architecture, control and testing, so that the
gathering of strengths in the field converges positively towards
objectives. And not, as too often happens, into dispersion and
confusion.
Encountering
obstacles…
Particularly delicate, in this sense, appears to be the
situation of the small and medium-sized companies, grappling
with a multitude of different suppliers, at different times,
each one strictly limited to its own tasks and tending to shirk
responsibility, with a serious lack of guarantees and
involvement in results for the company.
Innfor is the
solution
The consultants at Innfor offer firms and other entities, which
recognize IT systems as becoming an increasingly integral part
of their strategies, many years of directly documented
experience, be it on the part of the clients or on the part of
providers, utilizable quickly and concretely in at least four
main phases.
-
Integration:
the quality of integration architecture between products,
services, suppliers and internal resources. It is an initial
requirement which is absolutely fundamental in order to avoid
surprises, guarentee stability in the long run, and to assure
adequate protection for investments.
-
Competitive Valuation:
in making highly relevant decisions pertaining to competitive
valuation of suppliers, and especially to outsourcing, it is
necessary to valuate the costs not only in light of direct and
immediate monetary components. But, also, in appreciating other
crucial economic components that spring from levels of
reliability, stability and flexibility.
-
Methods of governing activities:
the methods of governing activity, central aspects for hitting
the mark on results and fully finalizing them according to the
requirements of the firm: work directions, coordinating and
planning, testing, set-up, baby-sitting, ordinary and
extra-ordinary maintenance.
-
Control of suppliers:
the control of suppliers, to prepare first, not only through the
indispensable contractual guarantees; but, also through
solutions for protection and real alternatives, and to put into
effect with scrupulous attention, constancy and timeliness in
terms of plans for advancement, quality controls and tests.
