Business & Software Factories (BSF), the future of corporate ITinfosistema
The Portfolio Management and the need to introduce technological innovation along with the need to keep up and running all the legacy systems, represents today a huge challenge for IT departments and information systems in all organizations. The diversity of manufacturers, platforms, technologies and skills to maintain them is another huge challenge for CIOs in organizations, which have increasingly reduced budgets, thus forcing a cut in structural or strategic investments and to seek other solutions that will enhance the processes performance in organizations (Forrester, 2014; Pereira, 2014).
McHenry whitepaper trc as asp recordkeeping serviceCraig Burma
The document summarizes McHenry Consulting Group's research into retirement plan administration technologies. It discusses trends driving changes in the industry and evaluates different technology models. McHenry believes the Application Service Provider (ASP) model, where recordkeepers subscribe to hosted software solutions, will be most successful. The document presents Milliman USA's Technology Resource Center as a case study of an ASP provider that offers efficient, scalable solutions through a shared services model.
The document summarizes an article from the McKinsey on Finance publication. The article discusses treating mergers and acquisitions (M&A) as a strategic capability that can provide competitive advantages. It identifies four institutional capabilities companies need to build to successfully approach M&A as a strategic capability: engaging in M&A thematically, managing their reputation as acquirers, confirming the strategic vision during due diligence, and reassessing synergy targets throughout the deal lifecycle. Developing these capabilities can help companies realize the full potential of M&A for growth.
The current model of GS100 is based on market performance and

how service providers move towards leveraging platforms and solutions to
deliver the next wave of business value.
Congratulations to all the GS100 companies!
Waterfield MMCi Practicum - DHTS Financial Model TransitionJustin Waterfield
The document discusses Duke Health Technology Solutions' (DHTS) consideration of moving from its current "one size fits all" cost model to a new revenue generating financial model. Field research was conducted through interviews with service owners across the enterprise to evaluate the feasibility and design of an alternative fixed-price model. Key themes identified challenges with the inflexibility of the current 18-month budget cycle and a lack of price transparency. Service owners largely agreed that a fixed-price model could better support scaling needs and provide more flexibility to manage costs and resources. Measures of success discussed setting and tracking unit cost targets for both infrastructure and business-facing services.

The document emphasizes that a continuous improvement strategy can both reduce maintenance costs and open new opportunities for business responsiveness compared to solely focusing on maintenance. It provides recommendations for balancing business empowerment with controls and avoiding building up technical debt through enhancement projects.
Industrial Restructuration Avoiding the M&A Nightmare.Datonix.it
Mergers and acquisitions often fail to create value due to data complexity and subjective opinions rather than objective data insights. Most M&A deals do not deliver sustainable added value, with 70-90% failing according to research. For M&A to succeed, organizations must address data complexity early on by improving data accuracy and management through tools like analytical appliances and cloud processing to unify and validate data for strategic decision making. Only with high quality, unified data can the anticipated synergies of M&A deals be fully realized.

SMA Perspective for LT - Underwriting 03-13-15 FINALSteven Levine
The document discusses modernizing underwriting capabilities by leveraging new intelligence technologies. It argues that to compete effectively, insurers must modernize underwriting approaches.

This document summarizes an article about how ERP systems can provide benefits for project-focused organizations. It discusses how traditional information systems are not well-suited for supporting project management. ERP systems designed specifically for project organizations can integrate project planning, budgeting, time/cost tracking, and resource planning.

utilization, invoicing process and approvals, forecasting labor requirements effectively and creating and managing staff schedules to accomplish a task on a day to day and hour to hour basis and analytics.
The current available Workforce Management Solution software mainly focuses on Human Resource as the core entity which may extend to include operations or finance but most of them lack the complete eco system to
implement a full fledge Workforce Management solution.
Workforce Management solution should be operational end to end which means it should start with the procurement of the resources to recruiting those resources after which human resource comes in to play and a swift operational process which
ends in analytics mainly focusing on finance.

Technology project executions rank high on CFOs’ most worrisome risks and enterprise resource planning system (ERP) projects are among them. Surveys regularly show that a significant number of strategic ERP projects fail to deliver expected outcomes, are delayed, and exceed budgets by a long shot. While most companies avoid catastrophic ERP failures, only a few wring out the most value. For top management, failing to deliver a strategic priority is rarely an option. Given a mature ERP solutions market place and mostly competent ERP installers, why do organizations frequently stumble?

Forrester Report: Master DevOps For Faster Delivery Of Software InnovationSEBASTIEN DENES
Modern applications and loosely coupled architectures allow organizations to deliver software faster. Loose coupling means applications can be developed and delivered in smaller increments with fewer dependencies. This reduces risk and allows teams to work independently and at their own pace. Automating processes like continuous integration, testing, deployment and monitoring further speeds up delivery while improving quality. Organizations must adopt DevOps practices and break down silos to fully realize the benefits of faster and more flexible application delivery.

The recession appears to have locked some agencies into a "holding pattern" without improving processes. Integrated systems are needed to help agencies adapt to rapid changes in marketing and react strategically.
