IT Strategy in the Age of Digitalisation – How it can drive innovations
The digitalisation that companies see themselves confronted with these days is putting whole business models to the test and effects changes in many areas of day-to-day life.
Most of the time, the IT department is responsible for implementing these changes. The IT department has to reposition itself strategically and has to be agile in order to be able to implement the new requirements of the specialised departments as quickly as possible. As such, the IT department supports flexible growth, helps avoid misinvestments and is substantially contributing to the company's success.
IT strategy consulting with noventum consulting takes various aspects into consideration.
