Benefits of an IT department without the overhead?

Does your organisation have multiple sites? 

Without an IT department, what is the best way to manage your IT systems?

Having a clear-cut IT strategy is a key part of a successful business, and this is particularly true for the rapidly growing aged care sector as they face new challenges

In recent times many businesses have returned to a centralised IT approach as the preferred way for companies to manage their technology.

Implementing centralisation

Centralisation initiatives are often implemented when it becomes apparent that allowing individual departments or sites to run their own IT systems and services is not helping the organisation, particularly in the areas of reporting and compliance.

For those without a dedicated IT Department, centralisation may at first appear to be difficult or even impossible. However by outsourcing this work to a consulting company with the expertise to oversee all aspects of technology deployment and management it can not only simplify administrative tasks, it can improve security, make data management easier and save the company money.

Benefits of centralising your IT

The benefits under this model can include:

  • better system performance,
  • economies of scale
  • The opportunity to overhaul business processes to embrace best practice.

The overall outcome of a successful centralisation project can ultimately be a significant boost to the value of IT provided to the organisation.

What the research says

Research has shown aligning IT closely with the long-term business and clear IT strategic goals can actually reduce the cost of delivering IT services by up to 45 per cent.
