Strategic Planning


The general who wins the battle makes many calculations in his temple before the battle is fought. The general who loses makes but few calculations beforehand.
- Sun Tzu

In today’s competitive environment, your company can’t afford to learn from its mistakes. At 1543AD, we’ll help you navigate the information technology terrain so that you can make the right choices, the first time.

Forward thinking companies begin with an effective technology strategy. Every decision, action, purchase or project implementation should tie directly into your overall business strategy. 1543AD works with you to analyze your business and develop an effective, feasible strategy. Our job is not complete until each person in your organization has a clear understanding of how they fit into the big picture and how technology enhances their individual efforts.

Following a process that has proven itself successful many times over, 1543AD will guide your organization through a three step plan consisting of Analysis, Strategy, and Review. Upon the completion of these phases, we will provide your business with real Deliverables, from which future IT decisions can be made.

Analysis
Our experienced business analysts and technical strategists outline opportunities for workflow enhancements through the application of technology. A simple gap analysis outlines small changes and long-term projects necessary to realize the ultimate future-state.

Strategy
The days of large discretionary IT budgets have passed. During the Strategy phase, we develop a custom implementation roadmap according to your budget, requirements, and timeline. Our network and software architects stay abreast of the ever-changing IT landscape so you can be sure your company will end up with the best possible solution.

Review
The Review phase provides a time to make modifications to the previously defined strategy. We believe that even the best strategy should be reviewed periodically. 1543AD provides monthly status reports against the roadmap developed in the Strategy phase.

Deliverables
Our goal is to provide your company ongoing IT success. Ultimately, this success depends on clear communication of the work completed in each of the previous phases. The documentation we produce will give your company a cohesive, mapped-out, business-driven IT strategy.
