Technology road maps – plan your business’ route to success

🗺️ Beyond the Turn: Why Your Business Needs a Technology Road Map

When planning a road trip, you need a clear route. Without a map or GPS, you’ll get nowhere. Similarly, forward thinking and strategic planning are vital in good business practice, especially when assimilating new IT practices and advanced technologies.

Your Guide to IT Success

An Imagetext Integrated Solutions technology road map acts as the perfect guide, ensuring your IT investment directly aligns with your broader business goals. Our dedicated team drafts a target-driven plan designed to drive you straight toward success.

Why Short-Term Fixes Fail

Too often, IT strategies are treated as short-term solutions with no ultimate goal of improving overall business performance. This is like only checking your map when you need to make the next turn—it’s inefficient and results in little overall progress.

Imagetext guides your business from the outset:

• Goal Alignment: We draft a comprehensive technology road map that plans where your IT needs upgrading or changing.
• Strategic Delivery: We ensure your technology matches your business goals and delivers on your long-term strategy.

These road maps typically encompass five general areas:

• A strategy statement, to ensure your business goals are clear from the outset and to reinforce all your IT-specific actions match them.
• A timeline of initiatives and projects, with details of start and end dates, durations, and personnel required.
• Project justifications, guaranteeing your workload is aligned to your business strategy and it emulates your overall goals going forward.
• Estimated costs, specific for 12-month periods and more loosely arranged for future dates.
• An executive owner for each project, overseeing project development and allowing a space for idea-sharing and notation.

Staying on track

Having planned your route, you need to make sure you stick to it by constantly checking your progress against your aims. Our strategic plans are set over 12-36 months, and we conduct periodic reviews of your evolving business performance to cast your technology road map as a living document. This document also reflects on wider techno-economic trends and examines how these should alter your overall aims. By keeping your IT enroute to positively changing your business, we ensure Imagetext’s happy customers can clearly map their success against our clear strategy.

At Imagetext, we guarantee your road to success will be within reach with efficient planning to improve and integrate your IT into your business practices. A road trip without guidance is a struggle, and a business without a technology road map cannot flourish in the digital age. Contact our team today to learn more about the technology mapping process.
