Client Objective
Overcoming gaps in the road. A biotech company was looking to connect IT with the company’s business drivers and maximize service quality and performance to better support key business priorities. As part of the modernization effort, they were looking for a partner to create a strategic roadmap, determine the current and future state of the IT org, identify gaps and provide remediation recommendations that could withstand the toughest business requirements.
Unique Challenge
Maturing infrastructure. The client had an overwhelming number of areas that needed to be assessed for maturity. From IT service management to identity access management to IT onboarding to communication (AV, telephony, email, chat) to even their aging infrastructure (network, systems, storage, monitoring)—the list was long, and their internal teams were short on bandwidth.
Unify Solution
