As an IT manager, I have to take decision after a critical analysis on services, service providers, business advantages, future impacts on business, company’s business strategies and financial consideration. If I would employ as a vendor for my business for help with cyber security, digital strategy and Business process issues than I should evaluate on mentioned five companies service strategies including their installment and maintenance policy. I am going to discuss my objectives and reasons to select my appropriate vendor in terms of cyber security, digital strategy and Business process issues as follows:
Cyber Security
Cybersecurity is a major concern for business in this modern world. Nowadays, it is very important to have secure and protected technology, network, and information system in business (Cerrudo, 2017). Cyber security is a set of activities and other measure that intended to protect from attack, disruptions or other attacks the information system of a business (Fischer, 2016). Different types of attacks, threats and vulnerabilities like data breach, hacking, and unauthorized access are associated with business. For cyber security, I would employ McKinsey & Company because, McKinsey’s approach integrates cyber resilience into management and governance processes and extends that integration deep into the technology environment, providing differentiated protection for an institution’s most important assets (McKinsey & Company, 2017). They are providing aligning security with business objectives which provides defense mechanisms toward the most important information assets and combination of evidence-based assessments and software-enabled methodology to protect prioritized assets. The incident-simulation tools help companies respond to a significant breach in real time. Swift, efficient, and highly refined processes can stop an incident from starting or escalating (McKinsey & Company, 2017). They are using authentication and data privacy elements to protect the data. The support team will work with businesses to assess the potential value associated with cybersecurity. I think McKinsey & Company has best technological support, strategies, and support team to provide best cybersecurity services of my company.
Digital Strategy
First of I would like to say that digital strategy is not IT strategy. Digital strategy is applying new technologies in existing product, practices, and processes. IT strategy provides automated and integrated functions across the organizations. IT strategy is applying new technology in existing activities like product, sales, supply chain, customer relationship management, product development, HR, and other functions. In this modern world, digital strategy is significant for business (McDonald, 2015). For my business, I would like to work with Accenture to develop our digital strategy. Accenture provides growth, rules, and role to develop digital strategies. Accenture Digital Strategy consulting services help me target the value opportunities digital disruption will create in my industry, reinvigorate my business model and mobilize my organization to deliver results. Accenture Strategy provides four digital strategy services such as digital diagnostic which focuses on the development areas, digital operating model which develop the digital business capabilities, digital transformation model that improves future business strategies, and innovation as a service that is analysis on new entrants in business as well as new product and services development strategies(Accenture, 2017). These are my logics behind selecting Accenture for develop digital strategy of my business.
Business Process
Business process is very important element of an organization for achieving their goal. I want to employ Accenture for business process development of my business. They provide business process strategies to gain financial gain, customer, acquisition, and sales increase. It will reduce further cost. Their strategies focus on business outcome, end-to-end approach, and change management. It will develop different functions of the company like: marketing, procurement, accounting, supply chain that results in increase value for the customer in future. Accenture’s BPM offerings range from process strategy development through to services including BPM managed services and process performance monitoring BPM strategy, Process governance, Process modeling and repositories, BPM automation, BPM managed services, and Process performance monitoring (Accenture, 2017). They are providing innovation and growth, system implementation, and next generation automation process. In my opinion, for the development of business process Accenture will provide me proper solution to gain my competitive advantage.
