Three
Broad Strategies
How to provide services
to constituents is one of the most fundamental design decisions that executives
must make. This most basic of all design decisions has enormous implications
on the running of the business and the establishment of trust. Getting the
service delivery wrong can undermine all of the team building efforts that
a company may have underway. IT Investment Vehicles are capital planning and
investment control tools. These tools can be used most effectively to plan
for the future and communicate those plans to the company at large.
The three
broad strategies are as follows:
- Data-Centric
IT Investment strategies are focused on maintaining the integrity
and control of data. The most important goal is the accumulation of all
the data under the control of one group. This is the most traditional and
the most conservative IT Investment strategies.
- Net-Centric
IT Investment strategies are focused on supplying users with desired
services upon request. The most basic tenet is that services must be distributed
and raw data must flow as quickly as possible so that the users can process
it at their own convenience. This is the most cost effective IT Investment
strategies for service providers.
- Peer-Centric
IT Investment strategies are focused on the relationship and trust
that users have with each other. The most basic philosophy of the Peer-Centric
IT Investment strategy is that users will do what is in their own best interest
at the time. These environments are built on decentralized P2P (Peer-to-Peer)
Federations. Participants are free to seek value wherever they choose based
on their particular needs at the moment.
