The Importance of Software and App Projects and Expert Skills!

Whether yours is a small or medium sized business (SME) or a large enterprise, your IT team is probably always overstretched. With ongoing maintenance and support, and small and large one-time projects, upgrades, and fixes, it is difficult (if not impossible) to take on other types of projects – projects that may drive the enterprise forward.

Consider just a few examples:

  • Integrating Augmented Analytics to support a Citizen Data Scientist initiative or data democratization.
  • Taking on a Digital Transformation (Dx) project to update and improve technology and work processes across the enterprise.
  • Creating a new solution for business users to streamline business processes.
  • Reviewing, improving, or creating data hubs, data warehouses, cloud data storage, etc.
  • Designing a new software application or solution for consumers and customers.

These are just a few of the projects that may fall off the radar because your enterprise lacks the resources, skills or experience to take on the tasks. And there are risks to delaying or setting aside these projects.

  • Loss of competitive advantage
  • Decreased productivity and collaboration
  • Poor user adoption of technology
  • Poor Return on Investment (ROI) and Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)
  • Inability to optimize resources and data to make the best decisions
  • Security and privacy risks

This list represents only a small portion of the risks, gaps and problems created by projects that are delayed or ignored.
