Roadmaps come in different shapes and sizes. We create roadmaps at the enterprise level or application level to provide board-ready or department-ready content and visualizations. We can facilitate a dialogue about your existing tech platforms to prioritize and rank them to guide and provide the most impact to your business. We have the experience and skills to address any legacy applications and emerging technologies that need to be tackled. Our systematic approach to technology roadmaps means that digital transformation is organized and planned to implement correctly and quickly, the first time around.
A roadmap tells you where you are, where you’re going, and how to get there. Bad things happen when you don’t have one. As our VP of Innovation & Strategy Tim Kulp told CIO, “Too many apps is usually the sign of a missing strategic roadmap.” Other signs: driving in circles, wandering aimlessly, dissipating resources.
Technology roadmaps are critical to business success and growth. Developing these roadmaps is a 4-phase process we outline in our people-first technology white paper. We partner with you to assess your existing technology, identify current and future needs, and plot the course for meeting those needs. Prioritizing projects by organizational capacity and potential impact is a consultative art we’ve been perfecting for over 30 years now. Let’s roadtrip together.

Could your new superstar software developer already be on payroll? The cloud-enabled, low-code/no-code platforms your business uses every day make it increasingly likely. People are natural problem solvers. They know the kinks in their workflows, the inefficiencies in their processes. Most of your employees may not know how to write code, but if you give them intuitive, visual process-driven development tools, they will put them to work. It will be a boon to your business, but only if you make the necessary investment.

Enterprise adoption problems are frustrating – and common. Our Chief Delivery Officer Carrie Schuckle has been overseeing development projects from beginning to end for 20 years. She’s well-acquainted with the usual stumbling blocks. “The technology may present challenges to overcome, but the adoption phase is usually the toughest. It’s what makes or breaks a project,” Carrie warns.
The simple fact that technology is always evolving often casts IT in the role of principal change agent within a company. That can rub other departments the wrong way. People may perceive tech leaders as implementing change for the sake of change, or worse yet, change for the sake of technology.
Too often, when CIOs attempt to focus on using IT to optimize business costs, stakeholders see it as a defensive move. You’ll hear the heads of other business units mutter, “IT can’t find enough money to cut in its own budget, so they’re coming after ours.”

But when you don’t have the in-house expertise you need, that’s when panic can set in, especially when you’re staring down the barrel of a high-stakes IT project.
