An IT Business Model and Business (IT) Value Proposition
IT provides competitive leverage as the IT department delivers effective IT Services and innovative technology solutions to improve competitiveness, demonstrated and articulated in: An IT Business Model “This is how we deliver IT services to the business” and a Business IT Value proposition “This is how we support business objectives with services in a time to market perspective”.
We deliver effective business strategy execution with an:
(IT) Business Model “This is how we deliver IT services to the business” where IT processes (bundled IT services) are supported by applications and execute the IT Service strategy to business needs (where ITIL Spell out IT Activities from a demand and supplier side (Design), Set IT processes and key performance indicators (Build), Aligned to described ITIL activities and processes with full IT Financial Management (Run)), Delivery capability (IT – CMF, CobIT 5, ValIT, CobIT 4.1, RiskIT, where we ensure that managed processes and objectives meet stakeholder expectations, ISO 38 500 we ensure that IT has the necessary means to effectively support the business strategy), Architecture (TOGAF where business objectives are supported by business processes, a business architecture leveraged by an IT architecture and applications that sit on an IT infrastructure as needed (inside the firewall on a server or mutualised servers (internal / private cloud) or outside the firewall on a mutualised server (external / public cloud), Security (ISO 9001, ISO 27 001, COSO where business continuity is ensured by risk and control objectives).

What the reviewers said: “Deliver Business Value with IT” is an extremely solid piece of work that comes across as the A-Z reference of how to execute and implement IT strategy from a CIO level perspective. The reader will learn robust approaches to deliver services designed to support IT and Business drivers. The perspective that Martin spells out permits an overview of how to leverage existing frameworks but also to effectively support the execution of an IT Strategy aligned with the Business Strategy.
