It’s official! Infratech Digital (UK) Limited is registered with company’s house as our vehicle for changing the world of IT. Â
Why did we do all this? Is it just because we like self-inflicted suffering? Â
No not really. Andrew and I are really just fed-up with a lifetime of watching really important IT infrastructure projects go absolutely pear-shaped and end up costing a fortune and delivering very little. Â
In the earlier years in IT, it didn’t matter as much if projects ran a bit late, or a bit over budget because the techies were playing with their new toys… IT was an afterthought, something you did as an extra – but not something that meant the life (or death) of your business. Â
Today IT is everything! Without it, most businesses don’t have a business! Why then is it treated with such disregard for professionalism, quality and value by so many? Its not a toy-set anymore! Â
We both realized that the industry needs change. Customers can no-longer approach the technology directly – its too complex. The technology providers are so deep into the tech that they can’t understand the lack of knowledge among customers – and frequently this knowledge gap kills projects. Â
Much like law, medicine, accounting, and indeed architecture – a profession eventually grows up. We are those grown-ups.Â
IT is not a toy, it’s the foundation of the digital enterprise. We’ll be the architects, and we’ll keep all the providers in line each doing their part to a high-standard so that collectively we all reach a good outcome. Profit made, value delivered, dials moved – outcome achieved!Â
