ICT Assessment
The ICT Assessment is an important entry point for understanding and assessing the current state of ICT. Without a status assessment, it is not realistic to plan ICT development optimally and responsibly.
Service description
There are several types of assessments used to get an overall understanding - the first is the Asset Assessment, which categorises ICT assets, sets recommended lifetimes and prepares a CAPEX/OPEX plan for simple refresh to maintain current functionality. The subsequent Infrastructure Assessment will then create a technology map with recommendations for development, renewal, or depreciation in each area and help create an infrastructure service catalog. The Application Assessment will map the applications in use in each category, set a recovery and retirement plan, and help create an application catalog. Business Assessment will map the application function needs of each process, application requirements for business development, and application functions of each information system.
The output of the service provided by ALEF is a report containing a description of the selected ICT area.
