The IT Dream The dream of Information Technology(IT) was always to help firms achieve its goals more efficiently. Efficiency means delivering more products and services to your clients with fewer people. An example where IT improves efficiency and helps save lives and reduce costs is an HMO in California - MSNBC - Kaiser bucks the HMO trend . The linchpin of IT success in medium and large organizations is enabling all desktop users to use all the firm's critical software programs. When your employees cannot access your firm's critical software, your firm loses its competitive advantage. Keeping that advantage requires that all critical programs are 'packaged'. This means that an experienced and skilled software engineer accesses the program's code and manually removes or alters code in the program which prevent it from being used by all your employees - without interfering with the program's intended purpose. Getting Started - Managing the Application Packaging Effort There are a number of steps to achieving IT efficiency through application packaging. Critical programs are identified. A procedure is established to prepare those programs for the packaging process. Programs are gathered and prepared for packaging. Standards for successful packaging are drawn and agreed to. Programs are packaged. Each package is tested for adherence to the standards and for compatibility with the firm's hardware and software infrastructure. Mistakes are corrected. Programs are distributed and used successfully. Inside Versus Outside People Experience, skill and mind set are critical in selecting the right people for these jobs. Finding the right person for the job is more important to a successful project than whether that person is a salaried employee or an outside contractor. Larger companies have salaried staff which can be tasked with most of the steps listed above. Usually, however, outside packagers like PTCS are called on to help with the more complex programs and to reduce overhead. Mid-size firms may ask an outside firm to accomplish more of the necessary tasks. Smaller companies may ask an outside firm to help accomplish all those tasks.
