Kavanagh's IT Maturity Service
Kavanagh's IT Maturity service helps to mature your IT in line with your business goals. It delivers an independent review and maturity assessment of a client's IT people, processes and tools. From this assessment, Kavanagh develops a detailed improvement strategy to meet the client's specific business goals.
Kavanagh's methodology is based on Gartner's IT Maturity Model whereby IT organisations are categorised into one of six maturity levels. The model illustrates that as IT organisations become more mature their operational costs decrease, while their business agility and therefore value increases.
This highly effective methodology provides a framework for continuously improving the business value delivered by IT while reducing operational costs. Most importantly, the maturity model used enables the IT organisation to measure itself against objective industry standards and quantify the business benefits of any planned initiatives or investments.
The service delivers a plan of action that identifies the steps needed to raise IT performance to the desired level. Kavanagh can then provide guidance and resources for executing the plan in a consistent manner that keeps people, processes and technology in step.
