Strategic Services

When you prefer to outsmart your competition without outspending them, simplify IT operations and management with Agosto’s Strategic Services.

Strategy without implementation is an academic exercise. Agosto's Strategic Services provide IT strategies that align with your business strategy. We also provide IT leadership with a broad range of both business and technology expertise to ensure strategic implementation and measurable results—results that help you grow faster, serve customers better, operate more efficiently and profit more handsomely.

We start by uncovering the challenges, obstacles, and lost opportunities that may be keeping you from achieving your vision. Agosto takes responsibility for ensuring resolution by developing and implementing strategic initiatives that deliver desired outcomes.

Assessment to Strategy
We assess your IT infrastructure to determine your organization's infrastructure maturity. Agosto’s Infrastructure Maturity Model (AIM) is our proprietary framework based on ITIL, CMMI and other industry-leading barometers. We use AIM to conduct detailed business analysis for diagnosing and solving critical issues. We drill down to each client’s goals, processes, people and challenges, and deliver an executive summary that includes an overall maturity score. The results of the assessment drive our plan for optimizing your IT infrastructure to reduce risk, lower operating costs, and take advantage of opportunities that support profitable revenue growth and customer loyalty. We develop an IT action plan that specifically meets your business goals.

Agosto Strategic Services:

IT Steering Committee Leadership
To design and implement a plan that delivers on your business goals, Agosto forms and manages an IT Steering Committee that includes your management. This cross-functional team keeps projects on track and identifies additional opportunities and needs as they arise. This committee also sets priorities, ensures major initiatives align with the organization's strategy and objectives, and oversees and approves IT policies and procedures. The IT Steering Committee’s first order of business is to build and review the Roadmap.

Roadmap
The Roadmap clearly depicts in detail how we'll use technology to help you achieve predictable results. In a strategy session with one of our CIO-level consultants and key members of your management, we map out your organization’s goals and all IT initiatives to fulfill them.

CIO for Hire
For small to medium-sized businesses without the budget to meet their critical need for high-level IT strategy, survival or expansion is on the line. Agosto’s CIO-for-Hire service is an affordable alternative to hiring an experienced, fulltime CIO without sacrificing IT management expertise. Our interim CIOs not only have broad, deep industry experience, but are also backed by a team of engineers with deep domain expertise across virtually all technologies.

Quarterly Business Review
A lighter version of our IT Steering Committee, QBR helps keep tabs on your evolving challenges and potential resolutions, so your organization makes IT decisions based on sound consideration and recommendations on an ongoing basis. While engaged in a project, we might uncover issues that merit further attention. We include these issues in the QBR in addition to monitoring your IT initiatives to ensure they are on track and meeting expectations.
