Operations Reviews

This type of assessment strategically focuses on the operational aspects of the IT organization. While all IT organizations require additional areas of competency such as project management, procurement, management, etc., the operational support and development aspects of the organization typically drive the core cost drivers. This focus of these engagements is on the operational aspects, as these are typically more concrete and measureable.
