IT Industry
Information technology has changed from standalone hardware and software to full systems. Consequently, the IT industry landscape has changed over recent years from fragmented product vendors to integrated solution providers. We understand not only our IT clients' specific business systems, but also their target industries. We thus combine the experience of the entire Roland Berger organization to achieve one simple goal: to make our IT clients even more successful.
In brief
Focusing on new issues
Information technology has changed from standalone hardware and software to full systems. Consequently, the IT industry landscape has changed over recent years from fragmented product vendors to integrated solution providers. Therefore, IT management has changed, too. It now ranges from strategic positioning issues to day-to-day project delivery issues in IT services.
Refocusing on the core business
The IT industry was hit hard by the economic impact of September 11. Virtually every industry has cut back their formerly enormous IT budgets. Roland Berger has helped leading IT industry players readjust their business systems by realigning strategy, cutting costs, optimizing processes and assisting with post merger integration. At the same time, companies need to refocus on their markets. Responding to customers' evolving needs is far more important than providing technology-driven solutions. Our current activities focus on growth strategies, innovative segments, and new business models. In addition, we offer account penetration and sales force motivation programs that enable IT CEOs to help their clients create value.
One fundamental advantage: We understand not only our IT clients' specific business systems, but also their target industries. We thus combine the experience of the entire Roland Berger organization to achieve one simple goal: to make our IT clients even more successful.
