Internal E-Business Enablement Based on the IND E-Business Enablement Methodology

For those companies wishing to remain competitive and leverage technology to optimize profits based on becoming e-business enabled, the questions is "Where do we start?"

These companies have legacy IT assets that represent substantial investments over an extended period of time. Typically these investments were made without regard to interoperability, enterprise e-business enablement, or scalability.

Most of the IT assets were purchased from vendors specializing in "point solutions" that had the capacity to service the specific needs of a portion of the business, but without consideration being given to their ability to "talk" to other IT assets in other functions within the business enterprise.

How does a company take this disparate set of IT assets and integrate it into an efficient e-business system capable of supporting the business needs across the company?

The IND E-Business Enablement Methodology™ Guides the Internal E-Business Enablement Process

The IND E-Business Enablement Methodology™ escalates IT decision making to the strategic business level, integrates IT assets into the core business strategic plan, and places IT decision making under the control of a single point of control, the CEO/P&L decision maker.

By doing so, all future IT decisions are based on standards that ensure that they will be complimentary to the total e-business system, drive business objectives, and be scalable as technology continues to evolve.

The IND E-Business Enablement Methodology™ is based on a decision making model that is familiar to most CEO/P&L level executives. The IND Methodology targets IT decision making initiatives that will generate the greatest return for the company as the company migrates from "brick and mortar" to becoming fully e-business enabled.

By focusing initial enablement projects on those areas of the business that will derive the greatest performance improvement, cost benefits, and savings, the IND e-business enablement process pays for itself.

Consequently, the need for the company to finance e-business enablement "out-of-pocket" is minimized, often leading to full enablement status based on improved cash flow at a net cost of zero to the company for becoming e-business enabled.
