  2. Agenda • Future IT Direction • Benefits and Issues with Direction Chose • Personnel needed to support the management and implementation of direction • Compare and Contrast to other Scenarios • Course of Action • Justification

  3. Future IT Direction • Consolidating and Centralizing computing environment • Audit & consolidate applications at organization level • Integrate together all present applications into a single application • Consolidation of the IT architecture

  4. Future IT Direction • Consolidating and Centralizing computing environment • Fusing together disparate data sources into a single source • Setting up compliance departments to address issues with law and regulations • Implementing security at multiple levels. (eg. Application layer, network layer, data layer, physical layer)

  5. Benefits • Better service to client • Improved decision making capacity for management • Aligning technology along with the business goals • Ease of operation for IT • Global updates • Better version control • Cost Reduction • Labor Cost • Storage Cost • Power Cost • Fewer Licenses (generally) • Network security response time and mitigation.

  6. Issues • Security Issues • Resolved by implementing security at multiple levels: application, data, network and presentation • Communication Issues • Resolved by proper training • Data Availability • Proper data backup and disaster recovery plan
