IT modernization strategies – whether mainframe modernization, cloud migrations, or legacy application modernization – can be complex, and understanding the implications of the potential paths to success can be just as challenging. Further, oversimplified technical solutions, such as moving all infrastructure and applications to the cloud, fail to address the complexities large companies face, and baseline options are often underassessed for risk.

Everest Group’s experience in advising on the most complex sourcing situations and the depth of our research on IT service provider capabilities gives us a unique ability to quickly explore a broad mix of viable strategic options for clients and uncover their organizational, cultural, and business environment implications.

Everest Group’s disciplined approach to strategy development helps clients make complex decisions on sourcing strategies with confidence, allowing them to:

• Understand the full range of viable strategic options available for consideration
• Gain conviction that the market has the ability and willingness to deliver the solutions suggested by the strategic options
• Determine the risk associated with each option, including the baseline option
• Create a set of preliminary, high-level business cases for each option
• Select the appropriate option for the enterprise based on a value-risk trade-off
