I had a great call this morning with a group from Tieto. Tieto is an IT service company providing IT, R&D, and consulting services. Tieto's main markets are the Nordic countries, Russia and Poland. In addition, Tieto serves its customers globally in certain areas of expertise and has industry-specific activities in selected countries.
In the course of the conversation, we talked about the following key questions that CEOs need to ask themselves relative to cloud-based and SaaS ECM.
It's a pretty good list...
- Do you know how current IT innovations will leverage new business opportunities for your company?
- Are you aware of how much IT administration is eating away time and resources from your knowledge workers?
- Can you demonstrate that your organization is fully utilizing your current software licensing and other IT investments?
- Do you feel that your current IT is limiting your company’s business potential?
- Are you convinced that your customers engage with your services in the best way? Are they convinced?
- Would you consider “time-to-market” as a critical factor in your areas?
- Have you thought about commercializing your company’s processes and information beyond your current offering?
- Do you benefit from Green IT as a way to reduce costs while improving your company’s reputation?
- Are you under the impression that buying IT as a Service would propose a major security risk for your business?
