What Can the Infotect Accomplish for You?

Thinknology's infotects concentrate on three kinds of services:

COMPLETE INFORMATION SYSTEMS MANAGEMENT

You cannot permit yourself to employ a full-time infotect or you find that your IT investments are not profitable enough. The infotect is then the ideal partner to regularly discuss and solve your IT problems.

An infotech from Thinknology makes strategic IT decisions in concert with the directors of the company. The company has a highly qualified IT manager and an independent partner who develops and carries out whole IT management in all its aspects.

The infotects of Thinknology currently lay out more than 50 years of experience in the implementation of IT projects and they know well the new IT trends such as telecommunication, client/server architecture, the object oriented programming, multi-media...

Several contract formulas can be considered according to the needs and wishes of the client. The work Thinknology does can be either single projects or complete assistance.

STRATEGIC IT PLANNING

Information technology is often, for a company, a long term decision where one can modify, with difficulty, the chosen direction. It is thus of paramount importance that IT agrees in all its aspects with the strategy of the company.

IT planning is not an aim in itself, but a means of achieving the goals of the company. One examines initially the strategy of the company with, inter alia, their objectives, the conditions which must be filled to carry them out ( "factor-keys of success" ) and a description of the method those objectives that can be carried out.

Then IT management is adapted to the strategy of the company by means of a strategic IT plan. Some stages must be traversed:

• The current IT environment is examined according to the factor-keys of success. The "mission critical systems" definite and are described in an inductive way and this in close cooperation with the customer.
• The infotect will call upon all his business experience in order to seek in a creative way the most effective method which supports the existing strategy of the company ("business Re-engineering" ).
• IT architecture is defined as well on the level of the hardware as of the software. The infotect clearly describes the integration of existing architecture and the passage towards a new architecture.
• The impact on the structure of organization of the company and the IT department is developed and described.
• The budgets are fixed and according to the budget available, the planning of the project is elaborated.
• The objectives are clearly formulated.
