IT Strategy

Why you need an IT Strategy.

The complex and dynamic nature of integrated, or in many cases disparate information systems, can add significant risk to merger and acquisition deals. Companies often build their own custom solutions that are critical to business operations and corporate growth. IT Strategy will help companies understand and mitigate risks associated with IT systems.

Tallan’s IT strategy team helps answer several key questions:

• Do the business applications or IT infrastructure pose a risk to the deal?
• Can the systems accommodate rapid business growth?
• Is the company prepared for disaster recovery and business continuity?
• Does the IT management team use best practices?
• Are the IT strategy, budget and resources in alignment with the business strategy?

How we can help.

Risk and Gap Assessment
Our team will help evaluate the alignment of IT strategy, systems and infrastructure with clients’ strategic and operational plans.
Review ongoing and Planned IT Projects and Investments
We assess your IT budget as well as ongoing and planned projects to determine budget requirements.
Review Business Applications and Custom Solutions
Tallan has a strong background in custom applications and will perform a “deep dive” into proprietary technologies to understand scalability, stability, integration and support risks.
Review IT Infrastructure, Security, Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity
We analyze network and server infrastructure, hosting facilities, operational practices, and disaster recovery options.
Transaction Planning and Support
Based on the strategy findings, we develop a plan that includes key initiatives that should be undertaken before and after the acquisition. We then help to oversee and implement the plan.
