IT – optimisation, implementation and procurement

IT in 2010s

 In the 1990s profit driven organizations expected of IT departments to implement IT solutions which will provide accurate information on the costs and profit allocations, to make financials and accounting integrated in supply chain and sales activities. Such solutions enabled those organizations to be more profitable and to shorten time-to-market in order to achieve higher competitiveness. There were big investments not only in new technology, but also in the business process re-engineering, bringing about changes in the ways of modern organizations’ operating in competitive and demanding markets.

Such organizations could be called Enterprises with resource planning systems or ERP enabled. At the beginning of the 21st century IT systems continued to play an important role in enterprises, but now an additional emphasis is placed on Customer Relationship (CRM), Business Intelligence (BI) and Enterprise Content Management (ECM). These areas, especially during the evolution of «the online» era, enabled the organizations with appropriate IT systems to be more agile on the markets through focusing on their customers (CRM), to monitor their business more accurately with decision making support (BI) and to engage with their full potential (ECM).
