IT Strategy
Digital Transformation
Strategy
What is an IT Strategy?
Gartner:
IT strategy is the discipline that defines how IT will be used to help
businesses win in their chosen business context.
Oakleigh Consulting:
An IT strategy is typically a long-term action plan for achieving a goal, set
in the context of a rapidly changing technology environment. For any IT
strategy to be effective it must have measurable links to a business
strategy.
What is Digital?
Oxford Dictionary:
Signals or data expressed as series of the digits 0 and 1, typically
represented by values of a physical quantity such as voltage or magnetic
polarization.
Relating to, using, or storing data or information in the form of digital
signals: e.g. digital TV
Involving or relating to the use of computer technology: e.g. the digital
revolution
What is Transformation?
Oxford Dictionary
A marked change in form, nature, or appearance
What is Digital Transformation?
Digital transformation is the process of shifting your
organisation from a legacy approach to new ways of working
and thinking using digital, social, mobile and emerging
technologies.
It involves a change in leadership, different thinking, the
encouragement of innovation and new business models,
incorporating digitisation of assets and an increased use of
technology to improve the experience of your organisation’s
employees, customers, suppliers, partners and stakeholders.

transformation/
Why do organisations need to transform?
“Businesses go through transformation
when they have failed to evolve”
IT & DMU in 2012
 Historic underinvestment in IT infrastructure (Physical servers, Legacy
Network)
 Campus Wi-Fi, but limited coverage and capacity
 No central desktop deployment and management
 Ad-hoc investment in Teaching Infrastructure – no standards
 Legacy core systems (Finance, HR & Student Systems >15 years old)
 Many paper processes
 No IT strategy
 No Knowledge or Document Management
 Implemented Unified Communications (Digital Telephony, Integration of
Lync & Exchange)
The Strategy

Ensure the underlying network and technical infrastructure is fit-for-purpose

Digital transformation is the process of shifting your organisation from a legacy approach to new ways of working and thinking using digital, social, mobile and emerging technologies. It involves a change in leadership, different thinking, the encouragement of innovation and new business models, incorporating digitisation of assets and an increased use of technology to improve the experience of your organisation’s employees, customers, suppliers, partners and stakeholders. http://www.theagileelephant.com/what-is-digital- transformation/
  • 11. Why do organisations need to transform? “Businesses go through transformation when they have failed to evolve”
  • 12. IT & DMU in 2012  Historic underinvestment in IT infrastructure (Physical servers, Legacy Network)  Campus Wi-Fi, but limited coverage and capacity  No central desktop deployment and management  Ad-hoc investment in Teaching Infrastructure – no standards  Legacy core systems (Finance, HR & Student Systems >15 years old)  Many paper processes  No IT strategy  No Knowledge or Document Management  Implemented Unified Communications (Digital Telephony, Integration of Lync & Exchange)
  • 13. The Strategy Make the case for the need for investment Ensure the underlying network and technical infrastructure is fit-for-purpose Quick digital wins for students Implement Governance Model Develop strategy with funding and implementation plan for 4 years Any device/any location/any platform Single sign-on Modernise Core Systems Focus on transformational digital improvements for students knowledge & document management
  • 15. The Journey 2013 Network Infrastructure replacement Replace legacy teaching infrastructure – large rooms Implement Governance Model 2014 Publish IT strategy with funding plan for 4 years Server infrastructure replacement, P to V migration Replace legacy teaching infrastructure – smaller rooms Implement e-Applications, e-Enrolment Implement desktop management and application delivery
  • 16. The Journey 2015 Procurement of Core Systems and Implementation Partner Business Process review of all administrative processes Implement BI & Data Visualisation Tools 2016 Publish Digital Transformation Strategy with funding plan Implement new Finance & Procurement System E-submission and e-marking New Intranet to incorporate document & knowledge management Lecture capture & replay Office 365 for students
  • 17. The Journey 2017 Implement new HR & Payroll System Implement new Student System Implement new CRM System Migrate to Windows 10 and Office 365/2016 for staff
  • 18. Lessons & Challenges Policies & Standards Process Technology Cost People Policies & Standards • Agree and document Architectural principles and standards at the very beginning • Agree and document records management & retention policy • Tighten Information Security and governance policies as technology changes
  • 19. Lessons & Challenges Policies & Standards Process Technology Cost People People - Resources • Right technical skills • Capacity (both IT & non- IT) • BAU vs. Project resources
  • 20. Lessons & Challenges Policies & Standards Process Technology Cost People People - Culture • Not all students are digital natives • Staff: From very keen to resistant to change • Communication – Have comms plan for every project with end user impact
  • 21. Lessons & Challenges Policies & Standards Process Technology Cost People Process • Insist on agreeing processes and blueprint design before implementation • Be realistic – Paper light vs Paperless • Where digital is the only new process – switch off alternative!
  • 22. Lessons & Challenges Policies & Standards Process Technology Cost People Process • For core systems requirements (Finance, Procurement, HR, Payroll) – make decision to change processes to fit system and not customise system to fit process
  • 23. Lessons & Challenges Policies & Standards Process Technology Cost People Technology • Business Continuity increasingly reliant on availability of technology • 24x7 support requirement • Hosted vs on premise
  • 24. Lessons & Challenges Policies & Standards Process Technology Cost People Cost • Digital is not always cheaper (or there is long- term ROI) – Business case needs to focus on more than cashable ROI
