IT Assessment
Ensure your IT infrastructure supports your company’s objectives. Intellecta offers IT assessment, analysis, and improvements for more secure and efficient operations.
IT should enhance efficiency and support growth
Information technology is a key component in modern business operations and can both drive innovation and hinder progress if not properly aligned. Is your company’s IT supporting your strategic and operational goals, or is it creating barriers? At Intellecta, we conduct thorough IT assessments, evaluate efficiency, and provide strategic guidance that supports growth and competitiveness.
Why is an assessment important?
Uncoordinated or outdated technology solutions can reduce productivity, create security risks, and cause difficulties when integrating with new solutions.
Through our assessment, we analyze:
- Whether technology aligns with operational strategy and future goals
- Staff, supplier, and customer experience with technical solutions
- Information system efficiency and their interaction with operations
- IT management maturity level
- Whether IT is a barrier or driver for growth
- How IT supports business objectives
- Risks associated with legacy systems and lock-in situations
IT as a driver or barrier
When properly utilized, IT can promote automation, maximize data utilization, and support faster decision-making. However, incompatible systems, outdated solutions, and technical bottlenecks can slow innovation and reduce flexibility. For example, a company using multiple incompatible systems may struggle to share data between departments, leading to duplication of work and slower decision-making. Outdated accounting systems can limit automation, requiring unnecessary manual intervention and increasing operational costs. An assessment is designed to shed light on these factors.
What is vendor lock-in?
Lock-in refers to a situation where companies are dependent on specific software or service providers and find it difficult to switch solutions due to high costs, technical barriers, power imbalances, or contractual obligations.
Solutions for legacy systems and lock-in situations
Many Icelandic and international organizations are stuck with old information systems such as customized ERP systems, legacy accounting systems, or custom in-house systems that are difficult to upgrade. Such systems can be expensive to maintain, lack flexibility, and hinder progress by limiting integration with new solutions and reducing operational efficiency. We analyze how to break free from such situations through:
- Implementation of open and standardized solutions instead of closed systems
- Use of cloud and service solutions to increase flexibility
- Development of data and service-oriented architecture
This approach enables companies to maintain competitive advantage and adapt to market changes with increased flexibility in technical infrastructure.
From assessment to successful implementation
Following the review, Intellecta delivers a detailed report with analysis and recommendations for strategic changes. Key improvements may include:
- Update of security policies and risk management
- Update and implementation of necessary policies
- Automation of operational processes
- Replacement or phasing out of legacy systems
- Outsourcing, re-outsourcing, or insourcing based on strategic approach
- Enhanced training and adaptation of organizational structure
- Integration of IT systems with business plans
We follow up on projects, provide consultation, and ensure solution implementation delivers real benefits.
