Offerings:
	Business/IT Architecture Alignment: Assessment & Evaluation Description:Business and IT rarely function in synchronized fashion. In fact, business units and IT often work at cross-purposes – if they are even communicating at all. As IT toils away on strategic, multiyear projects, front-line users continue to build spreadsheets, databases and pencil/paper solutions to immediate business problems. Can IT still effectively provide business with incremental, quantifiable returns on investment? Can these incremental solutions be aligned with strategic architecture efforts? The answer to both questions is yes. Before this can happen, business and IT must honestly assess their relationship, build common goals and create a collaborative strategy to align business requirements, business architecture and IT initiatives. This service offering creates a baseline for organizations seeking to build collaborative solutions between business and IT.

Training Courses:
	Business / IT Architecture Alignment: Turning Business Strategy into Actionable Results Description: Executives have mandated deployment of new strategies and the need to get more productivity from their workforce. This translates into new product and service deployment, business unit consolidation, new market exploration and a myriad of other actions. These activities, in turn, spawn a demand for infrastructure upgrades and technology redeployment. Unfortunately, the gap between business strategy and delivery of actionable results is growing.
