Good afternoon
Thank you for attending what I think will be a very exciting and beneficial session
We are going to introduce you to a very revolutionary product…which we guarantee will bring major benefits to the companies that use it
Pi presents you with questions which determine if your Business has everything in place
To meet today’s modern business requirements so this partially not totally can indicate what you business strategy should be Technology is now making the rules and business must follow to succeed
Pi then aligns determines what technology you need in place to align with this amended business strategy It provides detailed plans of what when and resources required and forecasts the cost
It does this in such an incredible space of time that it actually gives back some of the time being lost by the massive decrease in time to market (Pi can be run in 2 or 3 days or less)
By identifying exactly what needs to be done the chance of success increases
B
As you know the Business world and the affect that technology has upon it has changed dramatically over the past few years
But we are still looking for the same things that businesses have sort since business first began
SALES UP
COSTS DOWN
PROFITS UP
PRODUCTIVE STAFF
SATISFIED CUSTOMERS
HAPPY INVESTORS
ACTUALS MEET FORECASTS
And most importantly
CONTROL
What does control in a MODERN business mean
The ability to do ORDINARY things
In an EXTRAORDINARY way
Consistently
Predictably
Effectively
Day after Day After Day
NOT AS EASY AS IT APPEARS
Our Customers don’t just ask for excellence they Demand it.
With the complexity and speed of Business today and indeed Business Change
The only way that you know that you are in control is from Information
provided by TECHNOLOGY
Computers
Systems
Applications
Software
Data
Communication
90% of workers in the UK today are classified as “knowledge workers”, so information is the most important asset they and you possess
From recent and considerable research carried our by Microsoft over a two year period it has been firmly established that there is a definite link between a company’s use of information and their success.
Just think about your average day and how much a factor data plays in it.
The internet – email – shopping
Your train or car journey
And then work – how many of us don’t sit down in front of a pc everyday
Data that becomes Information
When you have the right resources correctly deployed – how well does your business data serve you ?
How many times do your hear yourself saying “If I only had that information when I needed it”
How many times do you have to manipulate data from one or more systems to get the information you need?
( spreadsheets are still the number one most used applications in business and they are not really applications !
How many times do you have to phone someone else for information?
Information
affects and reflects every business process
can and should support every business decision
gives you competitive business advantage
helps you to adapt to change
OK so you’ve got all the technology
Software
Hardware
Mobile
Pda’s
The works
Well done
But in the majority of company’s today the personnel from board to front line do not think that they are getting the information they need and want
Why
Technology has been implemented without looking at the whole picture of how the company operates
A company is a series of integrated processes, implemented by people
Technology has been implemented in a very disjointed manner to support disparate functions and does not mirror the business as it should.
And the useful Information shortage is a fact of life
Frankly it’s a mess and the ever decreasing time available to react to business change means things are getting worse by the day
The evidence is clear and research is now producing some very scary statistics
Failure at these levels is non sustainable If you don’t have the information you need you are going to fail or go out of business Information is the no1 asset to any company any company!
Most businesses realise they have this problem, but continue to make excuses for maintaining the status quo why because they really don’t know how to react that’s the truth
However, the evidence is starting to appear that companies that aren’t taking this problem seriously are starting to feel the consequences
The indicators of this
No market awareness, e.g. pricing
Inability to react & change quickly
Competitors take your customers
Sales drop
Costs go up
Profits drop
Forecasts are inaccurate
Share price drops
You go out of business or get acquired
We see evidence of this in the media everyday
Bill Gates was certainly on the Ball when he made that statement a couple of years ago
The problem is that in order to get better information there are so many things to do ( on top of our normal running of the business duties)
The costs are rising
Many things to do
Each will spawn sub projects
Will need to be defined
Need more & more resources to keep up
External consultants ££££££
The demands on our Business Change frequently, so we have no time
Re-evaluate
How are we doing
Plan
How can we Improve
Implement
Give us the information we need
There just isn’t enough Time anymore
Sounded a great idea
Reduce staff especially IT
Reduce the operational costs of IT
Many organisations now realising Outsourcing was not such a good idea
Outsourcing companies are raising their prices now they have a captive audience
Communication is complex .Changing anything takes months and costs money
Control of IT is now with the outsourcer
Many companies are now considering Insourcing
But
Need to re- recruit IT workers …high costs and takes time and they have to learn your business
Time to become effective limits productivity
Many realise real overall costs are greater than if they had done nothing (i.e. not outsourced)
And there is also the Regulatory implications of outsourcing , now coming home to roost
What we need is a better way
Something that’s fast, incorporates and integrates
Strategy
Planning
Processes
Technology
People
And gives us a repeatable and stable process for continuous improvement
Can aid RAPID assessments for Mergers & Acquisitions and compare/recommend technology strategy
Can help with insourcing by providing computerised analysts

It’s like having 30 Big 4 consultants as your personal slaves ( at a fraction of the cost)

SOA
ERP
CRM

Analyse
Plan
Define
Design
Program
Test
Implement
Train
Generally, such projects are subject or business area specific so do not look at the bigger “whole of Company” picture
Before you see the results
To deploy a successful information solution it has been proved that the most crucial stages are those of
Analyse
Plan
Define
Many horror stories abide about why not enough or bad analysis have led to major failures in delivering the right solution.
Pi as you will see takes a holistic view of information needs
Pi moves through the analysis, plan, define phases at quantum speed
