IT Assessment |

This metropolitan water
district was undergoing a top-to-bottom organizational transformation under
the direction of new senior management. As part of the transformation,
the district was evaluating and re-organizing its information technology
functions and, among other things, planned to centralize the various
information technology resources that existed within the old divisional
structure. As part of this process, we were requested to perform an
analysis of enterprise-wide information technology (IT) resources. The
analysis included an evaluation of all IT assets including hardware systems,
software applications and personnel resources. The engagement
involved: |

use and planned throughout the district |

and future skill requirements |

Ø |
evaluating financial data on the district's information technology,
including historic and current spending, budget vs. cost analyses and
comparisons to similar organizations |
|

|
|
|
|
Ø |
assessing existing and planned IT organization structures and management
practices |
|
|

| |
|
|
|
|
|
Ø |
identifying IT needs, resource redundancies and cost-saving opportunities |
|
|
|
|

The results of this process provided management with an independent
evaluation of the district's IT resources, assisted management in completing
the re-organization in an effective manner and established the required
technological objectives to support or enhance business strategies. |
