Achieving Strategic Value from Information Technology Investments

Companies need an IT infrastructure that helps advance rather than impede business. Why? Because companies with demonstrated IT leadership perform better, achieving greater revenue growth, reduced costs and improved productivity. To learn more about Information Technology Optimization, watch our presentation.

Optimization of your information technology assets requires an assessment of your current state and development of an achievable roadmap for improvement. Infrastructure Optimization (“IO”) is the process to quickly get you there. It is a four stage model based on industry analyst efforts, developed by the MIT Center for Information Systems Research and Microsoft to describe the levels of infrastructure efficiency. The four stages in this continuum are Basic, Standardized, Advanced, and Dynamic.

There are three IO models, covering the areas described in the image below. Clearway can assist you by completing an IO Assessment to help dramatically improve your company’s results and transition IT to a more proactive strategic focus. Upon completion of the IO Assessment, Clearway will deliver the Clearway Optimization Report for Executives ("CORE") which includes:

• The current status of your infrastructure

• Peer comparisons
• "Best practices" roadmap to facilitate advancement across the continuum
• Estimated cost savings to be derived from advancement
