Meeting Your I.T. Management Challenges : - The i-Corp Infrastructural Works
If our iCorp Department Store exists to help you meet the acquisition challenge, and our iCorp Development Works exists to help you meet the differentiation challenge, then our iCorp Infrastructural Work exists to help you meet the performance assurance challenge.
Acquisition is a big challenge because of the multi-domain complexity. Differentiation is a big challenge because of the multi-stage construction and operation complexity. Performance assurance is a big challenge because of the multi-layered technological integration complexity.
The implementation of business model in an iCorp now depends increasingly on a digital core: composed of IT infrastructure and core business processes. These core business processes are increasingly being embedded into applications. Thus, there emerged a three tiered relationship that has come to define corporate or institutional execution. At the base is the IT infrastructure, in the middle is the applications, at the top is the business or institutional processes.
The construction of an appropriate IT infrastructure that could form a foundation for execution has always been a big challenge. It has to be conceived, architected and integrated out of an ever-growing universe of communication gears, hardware, operating systems, and other layers of technologies. These gears and ware would come in multiple brands, versions, features, functions, and mostly with over-claimed compatibility. Worse still, all of the above are undergoing flux and mutual transcendence. Thus, to achieve component compatibility, multi-layered synergy, holistic usability and business dependability is itself a daunting proposition.
How can we help you to build a solid digital core so that you could be assured that your performance pledge could be delivered?
Our differentiation actually derives from our distinctive digital tradition.
First of all, we start with an integrated understanding of the inter-relationship between infrastructure, applications and business value creation. This cannot be said of most other IT suppliers, who are as a rule much more narrowly focused. With us, you will be drawing from inter-connected pools of expertise. Each product and each service we provide to you has to fit into your overall picture, and we will always have that in mind.
Secondly, our accumulated knowledge across the three inter-related fields could bring about balanced considerations and cross-fields solutions that could be hard to find elsewhere. With us, you will be drawing experience from a cross-fertilized pool of expertise. Our service representative would have a lot of understanding about how a particular piece of product will be used, how the hardware should be connected to the software, how to derive maximum benefits from its deployment, and how its maintenance problems should be tackled.
Thirdly, our positioning at the hub of three extensive networks of delivery chains means that we could readily mobilize from the largest possible resource base for iCorporation building to come to your aid. You will be drawing from a much more extensive pool of expertise and resources.
Fourthly, our digital tradition has been tightly coupled to the IBM tradition, the founder of the IT industry. IBM has extensive installation base in this Region. This gives us privileged and uninterrupted access to the cumulative usage histories of customers in the government and major economic sectors here. IBM has the longest and most extensive technological base from which streams of business oriented IT products and services have been continuously introduced. Through our long term channel representation and project collaboration with IBM, we are perhaps the company most intimately knowledgeable about their products and services. It takes time and exclusive exposure to accumulate unique IT expertise. You will be drawing on the combined traditions of both IBM and ICO.
It would be our great honor to work with you, just as we have worked with numerous household names to work with their performance assurance challenge.
