Let Us Optimize Your Technology
Our Technology Optimization Roadmap (TOR) process entails a collaborative, holistic assessment designed to maximize your technology for cost reduction, improved productivity, and the ability to scale with your company. Cooperative Systems’ goal is to create a tailored technology environment that does more than just support your business; it will help drive growth and profitability.
Here’s a deeper dive into what the process entails.
Step 1. Discovery: Understanding Your Business, Gauging Your Operational Maturity
The first step in our process involves an immersive exploration of your business objectives and IT systems. We observe, gather information, and inventory your IT applications, infrastructure, systems, and network. We interview and survey key employees to determine how they work with technology, their satisfaction with current tools, and more. We analyze any gaps, vulnerabilities, chronic performance or productivity problems, and any other previously uncovered issues.
We also assess your operational maturity, which is a general measure of the overall consistency, reliability, resilience, coherence, and sophistication of your IT system and your organization’s mindset.
All this information—taking into account your business structure (including operational scalability, governance, and strategic alignment/business value), and how you currently use technology—gives us a baseline for evaluating your tech and making recommendations.
Step 2. Reporting: Outlining the State-of-the-State of Your Technology
We bring our findings together in a comprehensive, 360-degree report that details your current technology in depth, including the condition of your network, risk position, assets, and more. We review these results with you and provide a list of recommendations designed to align your technology with your business objectives.
Step 3. Mapping: Building Your Tailored Technology Optimization Roadmap
Equipped with our analysis and insight, we create a plan to make your infrastructure and applications stronger, faster, and more secure. The TOR will shape your long-term IT strategy, prioritize needs, establish your budget, and drive all IT activities. The ultimate goal is to help you maximize your return on investment and leverage technology as an enabler of business success.
Step 4. Engaging: Ongoing Business Technology Management
This final step focuses on constantly improving on your operations using innovative, customized IT services to support your company’s success. Cooperative Systems continues to work with you, understanding that as the business technology landscape shifts, your TOR needs to change to meet your market and business needs—it’s a “living” process that recognizes the changing dynamics of your technology ecosystem. Our dedicated focus is part of making your IT a competitive advantage in your market.
