Build a solid foundation for an ILM solution aligned with your business needs.
The ultimate objective of your Information Lifecycle Management (ILM) initiative is to create a flexible architecture that can integrate and evolve information solutions so they align with your business vision and strategies. HP’s ILM Business Requirement Analysis service helps you take significant strides toward making this a reality.
Based on in-depth interviews and interactive workshops involving key members of your business and IT teams, an HP Solution Architect produces findings and recommendations your enterprise can use as the groundwork for your ILM architectural solution. This comprehensive two-day service is designed to mitigate your implementation risks for an architecture that helps you reduce response times to business changes, increase your enterprise’s speed in conducting business, and improve the return on your overall IT investments.
An essential step toward ILM solution success
ILM Business Requirement Analysis can lead to the development of an ILM solution for a distinct project, a set of projects within a business initiative, or your entire enterprise. It is a natural next step after you’ve completed the HP ILM Discovery Workshop, which helps your organization understand how ILM can improve service or business processes.
HP Services consultants deliver findings and recommendations that:
- Determine your prospective solution’s business drivers, goals, and metrics
- Develop the solution’s business, functional, technical, and implementation principles
- Define each principle’s rationale, implications, obstacles, and actions
- Validate the proposed solution by measuring it against the business drivers and goals of each principle
- Develop models and standards to support the solution
The analysis consists of three stages:
1) Introduction and workshop preparation - reviewing your business needs, interviewing enterprise representatives to determine expectations and goals, selecting workshop participants, and workshop planning
2) Workshop - an HP Solution Architect leads participants through development, refinement, and review of business requirements; provides best practices and industry experience; and captures major findings for use in the final report and presentation
3) Documentation and presentation of findings - including a management summary and detailed report on workshop and interview activities; a review of workshop results; and a presentation on key findings, major issues your enterprise confronts, and suggested next steps
