Doing more with less is the norm and keeping up is increasingly difficult.

Now more than ever, IT and business need to work together. Aligning IT investments with business goals is key to winning. If we invest too much in technology, or ahead of our business needs, we will waste resources. On the other hand, if our technology investments are behind and not enabling our businesses to keep-up, we miss opportunities.

WP Experts and IBM have partnered to provide business consulting services to help align business and IT in building an IBM on demand workplace or enterprise portal. Our offering is built around a proven methodology called the Portal Business Value Assessment. The Business Value Assessment is a short-cycle (2-4 week) engagement, designed to help you prioritize business needs and create a plan that ensures a successful and impactful portal implementation.

The Business Value Assessment will:

• Provide you with the information you need to make the correct business portal investment decision for your company.
• Align line-of-business (LOB) and IT management toward a common vision for a business portal and associated deployment initiatives.
• ive you a high-level cost and benefit analysis to define the value of a portal solution in financial terms. Identify sound justification for launching a portal initiative in your organization.
