The Cisco— IBSG Innovations Practice focuses on innovative uses of business-enabling Internet technology and the efficiencies that can be achieved by using these capabilities to transform key business processes. The Business Technology Solutions team within the Innovations Practice addresses the challenges of the CIO as well as the CIO's executive colleagues.
Engagements target three distinct areas of concern for today's CIOs: organizational excellence, operations strategy, and enterprise architecture. To develop an effective operations strategy, the Business Technology Solutions team assesses and defines the architecture and strategies necessary to support and accelerate implementations of Internet business initiatives. This enables CIOs to drive down costs and increase the productivity of the IT organization through operational efficiencies.
For the non-IT executive, the Business Technology Solutions team helps to define the opportunities that technology and IT can bring to the business; to accelerate collaboration among business units, IT functions, suppliers, and partners; and to define the metrics to ensure that business value is being achieved.
