Perception is everything, and in the perception of many business executives, IT doesn’t provide enough value. The fact is, most IT organizations don’t stand a chance. Why? Take a look at how the average company spends its IT budget:

 


The IT Performance Dilemma - Typical Example

Most businesses want at least a 20% return on investment. In this fairly typical example, that translates to returning $36 million per year to the company from the $30 budget. With only $1.8 million actually delivering new value, every successful IT project would have to deliver a 2000% ROI to satisfy the executive suite.

We help you deliver more value from your IT budget… not just incrementally, but by an order of magnitude. How? Call us.


Why "IT Catalysts"?

You have no shortage of companies to choose from, when it comes to IT consultants who promise to make your organization more effective. So why choose IT Catalysts?

Well, look at your alternatives. First are the giant consultancies. They offer depth of talent and a great deal of intellectual property. But they have two weaknesses: a difficult time ensuring quality given the huge number of consultants they employ, and a need to keep their systems integration talent busy. For the giant consultancies, consulting is a wedge they use to develop additional business - at your expense.

Your second choice is one of the major outsourcers. Sure, they have a lot of experience in running IT organizations. But can you really trust that their motive is to help you make your organization more effective?

Then there are companies like IT Catalysts – with a single, clear focus and no ulterior sales motive. 

So why IT Catalysts instead of one of our competitors? I’m glad you asked.

Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Robert Lewis. I’m the author of Keep the Joint Running, and before that InfoWorld’s award-winning Survival Guide column, along with four books about the business of (and business impact of) information technology.

After more than eight years of writing a weekly column, I have no secrets. Dig into my on-line column archives or buy my most recent book, Leading IT: The Toughest Job in the World – and you’ll know exactly how I help CIOs and CTOs improve the effectiveness of their IT organizations.

And I’m personally involved in every consulting effort we undertake.
