Our vision
45° IT-as-a-Business
We transform IT organizations into business-aligned teams using our "IT-as-a-Business" framework, which is based on five domains: Strategy, People, Platform, Security, and IT Operations. Each domain has its required governance and is further divided into 45 capabilities. We leverage innovative technologies, such as cloud technology, as an enabler and use well-governed data as the catalyst for this transformation.
We assist customers in defining a robust Target Operating Model, centered around empowered teams with clear accountability. For each of the 45 capabilities, we offer comprehensive support, including:
- Clear Definitions: precise explanations of each capability to ensure understanding and alignment.
- Key Process Steps: detailed descriptions of the essential steps required to implement and manage each capability effectively.
- Suggested Governance Models: recommendations for governance structures that support efficient and effective management.
- Activity Lists: specific activities within each capability to guide implementation and operationalization.
- Roadmap Questions: a set of targeted questions designed to assess the current state and define the desired state, facilitating strategic planning and continuous improvement.
Approach
Our framework is versatile, allowing us to design either (1) a ‘top-down’ IT strategy encompassing the full spectrum of capabilities or (2) to focus on a subset of capabilities for a ‘bottom-up’ approach. This flexibility ensures that we can tailor our solutions to meet the unique needs and goals of each customer, driving maximum business value and efficiency.
45 Degrees differentiates itself through a pragmatic, result-driven approach, aiming to establish an efficient, working organization or optimize specific capabilities. Additionally, as part of the Cronos Group, we can tap into the broad set of skills and experience of over 600 competence centers and about 10,000 IT professionals, ensuring comprehensive support and expertise.
