A message from the author
Dear Business Manager,
There is no doubt that IT can transform your business. It can help you to dominate your market.
To create a sustainable competitive advantage that makes your competition irrelevant. As Warren Buffett says, technology can help ‘to build a moat around your business‘.
Your business valuation skyrockets because you have invested in proprietary intellectual property (IP). IP that is difficult to replicate because it amplifies your point of difference.
The market does not even consider your competition because what you offer is so much better.
Imagine how that would feel?
Where revenue is growing while also increasing your profit margin No more sleepless nights worrying about your monthly budgets.
Sounds great doesn’t it?
However, there is a dirty little secret that most IT companies won’t tell you.
The truth is that 50% of software development projects fail to deliver value.
I have personally witnessed how software development projects can destroy business value. Where millions of dollars are wasted with no return on investment.
Many times, this is because the IT company has a narrow focus on technology, rather than how competitive advantage is built.
This is often the case with offshore developers.
Most projects that deliver real value are complex. This requires effective, open communication. Offshore development is not conducive to the communication required for these projects.
Even with local developers, I have witnessed some of them blindly focus on the technology. Rather than how that technology will translate into financial performance.
In all situations I have witnessed, this obscene waste of resources could have been avoided. That is why I have written this eBook.
By following the simple strategies outlined in this book, you can improve the chances of delivering a step change in the financial performance to your business.
I encourage your to read the eBook before you start any IT project. It’s brief and won’t take long to read.
Your small investment in reading this free eBook could save you significant amount of time and money.
Here are some critical strategies this eBook will reveal:
