Computer technology has been advancing so rapidly, and with such a short life span, that strategic technology planning is essential. It must also be aligned with the development of the overall strategic business plan. Without considering the technology plan, several business strategies may not be achievable.

The strategic technology plans created by SMR tell our clients their current technical capability, and how it fits in with their strategic business plan. The plan also informs them of their business risk due to technical failures and how the IT organization is performing overall.

The technology plan provides the business with a roadmap on where, when and how IT investment pound (£) should be spent.

Each plan contains the following sections:

		Information Technology Strategic Planning
			Quarterly projections over a three year period:
				technology equipment stated in present value pound (£)
				new technology equipment and upgrades stated in present value pound (£)
				software and licenses stated in present value pound (£)
				new software and upgrades stated in present value pound (£)
				ongoing maintenance support hours
				new project support hours estimated by project
				total fulltime equivalent IT support hours
		Technology Assessment
		During assessment, the client’s technology is compared with their business goals. An evaluation is made on what new technology is needed to ensure success with the client’s strategic business plans. SMR team of professionals, with both business and technical expertise, identify where technology shortfalls exist and recommends appropriate action.
		Management
		The larger a network is, the more possible failure points it has with a greater chance of catastrophic system breakdown. SMR minimizes technology risks by planning for disaster.

				Develop organizational security policies
				Create disaster recovery plans
				Prepare capacity plans for system resource utilization
				Develop end-user usage policies
				Plan software and hardware upgrades and updates
				Procure technology products from the list of approved vendors
				Review IT performance measures for system improvements
		IT Performance Planning
