What is The Essential Project?

Essential helps you understand how people, functions, processes, applications, data, infrastructure, suppliers and customers interact across the business, and how they support or hinder the business strategy. It also enables the impacts of changes to the business operating model to be assessed. Essential allows you to ensure that IT is a key enabler of the business strategy by:

  • Understanding the capabilities that are fundamental to achieving the business strategy, enabling priorities to be identified, and aligning IT and the business
  • Enabling 'Road Mapping' and 'What If' analysis against your organisation's current position to identify how IT can enable the business
  • Highlighting opportunities for re-use, achieving business aims more quickly and at less cost
  • Highlighting duplication, of applications, technology, process etc, allowing streamlining to increase efficiency and agility, and to reduce costs
  • Understanding your data and allowing its power to be harnessed by the organisation
