RubinBrown can help you align your ERP and IT initiatives with your strategic business goals. A strategic “roadmap” exercise provides governance around business and technology to ensure the entire organization is working together and focused on the projects that provide maximum business value.  

There are always more projects to do than time and resources to execute them. This exercise creates a repeatable process to manage, prioritize, resource and execute strategic initiatives and ensure business and IT are fully aligned. This process creates a long-term multi-year view of what technology must do to support the long-term strategic initiatives of the business along with a short-term (annual) view of projects to execute. It is a cyclical repeatable process that ensures the team is planning, focused, and executing in harmony.
