4. BT Framework method

Our analyses are based on our own developed format. The format consists of a model, a method, content, and a dynamic information solution. With this method the IT environment can be analyzed in a very straightforward manner in 10 solution areas and IT Service models. BTM Framework produces a visual documentation in the format of a Customer Profile.

BT Framework solution areas:

APPLICATIONS & SOLUTIONS• Processes and Resource Management (incl. ERP and HRM)• Financial Control• Customer Relationship Management (CRM)• Business Intelligence• Messaging & Collaboration

IT INFRASTRUCTURE• PCs and Workstations• Business Mobility• Systems• Data communication and Networks• Printing environments

IT SERVICE MODELS

BT Framework analyzes each of these solution areas from angles:1) Maturity assessment2) Functionality assessment 3) Solutions, applications, devices and technologies

6. How to use this report

The most common method utilized is to benchmark one's own situations and choices against the benchmark group. Here are some examples:

- The maturity of one's own solution areas against the benchmark group - In which solution areas is there a clear lack and need for better support for the business? - What kinds of development projects are being planned by the benchmark group?- Which service and solution providers are most used? - Which solutions are most popular? And many more…

5. The Total Market

BT Monitor has been conducted in over 1,300 organizations (at least once) and we analyze on average 30 organizations per country each month (in total, approx. 100 accounts per month). In this report, we give some analysis of the situation generally for the total market (you can see references such as ”in the total market” here and there).The different graphs, development project lists, etc., are always from your chosen benchmark group referenced in this introduction’s first paragraph.

BTM Benchmark interpretation

Maturity assessments

The Maturity Assessment graphs describe the typical development steps in each solution area.The graph consists of four different key areas within the solution areas. The customer assesses its environment’s maturity in each four areas. The maturity of the environment and solutions are segmented into five steps, from 1 to 5. Organizations should look at the content in the maturity phase #4 when modernizing their solution environments.

Maturity phases:1 (Red) = "Inefficient and costly environment (or no relevance and hence no need)."2 (Orange) = "An outdated way of working. Typically easy to improve."3 (Yellow) = "The general, average situation in the total market. Solutions fulfill basic needs – modern opportunities not utilized.”4 (Green) = "Modern model for the environment, where technology solutions effectively in use.”5 (Blue) = "Visionary, eatrly adapter role – actively utilizing the opportunties to seek for strategic competitive edge.”

= Present situation, match with the importance.

= A small difference between them.

= A clear need for a better solution.= A significant sign of the need for a better solution

Assessments of how well the present solutions meet the needs of the organization / company. Customers have assessed both the present situation and the importance regarding the arguments.

Each solution area has 6 Functionality Arguments; #5 always related to cost efficiency and #6 to support for business. In the bar graphs, the colored bar illustrates the importance and the silver bar the present situation of the argument in the organization / company.

The importance bar’s color is based on the difference between the present situation and the importance and hence illustrates which functionalities are needed most.

Satisfaction and BT Rating

Each Solution area has a Satisfaction and Rating section which illustrates the customer's own situation against the Benchmark group.

Satisfaction gauges:

The rating from the customer against the average of the Benchmark group.

BT Rating gauge (1-5):

BT Rating – Pain or Gain?

The BT Rating illustrates the overall ability of solutions to support the business needs. It’s based on the Maturity assessments, Functionality assessments and the satisfaction ratings.

The basic rule of thumb is that a rating value of 3 describes a norm, OK situation.

A rating below 3 is the "Pain-zone”, which hints that something needs to be done to modernize the environment,

Rating above 3 is the ”Gain-zone” where the solutions provide the functionalities needed by the business.

Trends and focus areas of development:

Each Solution area has a Development section which lists Top 5 development trends in total market,Cape Rock Ltd’s own development project with phase and scheduling information,The latest development projects in the benchmark group (these projects are usually enrolled in survey country’s local language).

4. Enhancing the ERP with new modern functionality

5. Payroll solution


Two major trends: A new or first HRM solution and new ERP solutions. (In the total market) In the total market, there's a huge number of different, industry-specific ERPs. A lot of customers have built their own. Many customers don't have a real HRM solution at all and are implementing one for the first time. Since the major ERP solutions, such as SAP and Microsoft's Dynamics, are offering more industry-specific support and can meet most demands, they're really getting more market share from smaller vendors' solutions.

The average maturity in all organizations (including those outside the Benchmark group) is on average 3, in all areas. Though the level of process and solution integration seems to be a permanent development process, there’s still a long road ahead for most organizations. Companies are pursuing solution environments where the ability to plan, steer and manage is dynamic. Electronic invoicing is used by most organizations but it still needs to be “forced” in order to gain potential in process efficiency. Extending the FC solution to the organizations’ interest groups (customers, suppliers) is the “next big thing”.

Financial Control solution

The total market for FC solutions is highly saturated with no clear market leaders. Therefore, in this chart, the biggest share is typically owned by “Other”. This probably isn’t the case when you’re benchmarking against a specific industry. Since quite many organizations are planning to use solutions as a service model, we’re going to see its share increasing as well as major software companies (Microsoft, SAP, industry-specific major players) gaining more share from smaller solution providers.

The pie chart shows all solutions with a market share of 1.5% or more.

Customer Service Management and related development projects are high on companies’ priorities and rarely missing from their Roadmaps. This is no wonder, because of two major factors: Solutions are either missing or are poorly deployed. Even if most companies do have a solution, they’re often used in a very primitive manor without support for the needed, company-specific processes, views and reports. Most companies still use their CRM solutions more as a “customer register” where the data is static. Therefore, we can see a great many development projects on the horizon.

In this maturity chart Cape Rock Ltd's own maturity assessments are shown on colored background and the benchmark group's average maturity is framed in red.

Functionality of Customer Relationship Management solutionsThe CRM solution is typically deployed to support one of the key processes: sales, marketing and communications or customer service. Therefore, depending on the company, the strengths in the functionality may vary a great deal. Many state that the sales process is the most important process of a company, but still the functionalities of the systems deployed typically are unsatisfactory (F#1). Electronic marketing and its integration with CRM solutions is a hot topic .

Functionalities

1. Sales management have good, working Dashboard views to help them manage sales.

2. Our CRM solution is integrated with our electronic marketing (email, web services, social media, internet advertising, …)

3. A 360-view is easily available of all customers (sales, activities, appointments, agreements, projects, deliveries, …).

4. Our CRM solution is easily and effectively used by mobile devices.

A significant number of companies still lack a true CRM solution. Some feel that their needs for CRM functionality can be met with their ERP solution's CRM add-ons. In the total market, there seems to be two players whose names appear most in the development roadmaps: Microsoft’s Dynamics CRM and Salesforce.com.

Even most of the new solutions and systems deployed are “On-Premises” (companies install them to their own systems environments), it’s clear that it’s just a matter of time when the deployments will be made into the public cloud. This will happen in time but Cloud based solutions need to offer the same security and functionality. Currenltly the biggest players in the public Cloud arena are Microsoft's Dynamics CRM Online and Salesforce.com.

The maturity of the Messaging & Collaboration solution environments in general is at 3. The only exception to the rule is Voice Messaging, where a lot of legacy telephone exchange systems are still in use. Document Management systems are slowly but surely improving in general, but typically are at level 3-. Organizations are putting a lot of effort into integrating or renewing separate communications solutions into a unified solution; this is currently the focus area of development projects.

In this maturity graph Cape Rock Ltd's own maturity assessments are shown on colored background and benchmarking group's average maturity is framed with red color.

Functionality of messaging and collaboration solutions in the Benchmark group:

In general, organizations assess the capabilities of their systems and solutions to be at satisfactory level, at most. This is slightly surprising but clearly has to do both with the present old systems and the increased awareness of modern solutions and models. The areas that seem to be most lagging are unified communications, document management and cost efficiency.

Functionalities

1. Our voice communication solution is integrated in our Messaging infrastructure.

2. We use a Unified Communication solution with voice, video, e-mail, conferencing and instant messaging functionality.

3. Our Document Management solution provides the functionality we need.

4. We utilize digital signage effectively in our marketing and internal messaging.

5. We have made a messaging & collaboration cost analysis, which helps us steer our solutions for different communication needs.

6. Our users are more productive, accessible and satisfied with our messaging & collaboration solutions.

Messaging platformsIn general, half of the organizations still utilize legacy telephone exchange solutions, while more than one-third are utilizing Operator services and the rest have their own, modern more-or-less IP-based solutions.Microsoft's Lync is gaining ground and has full potential to becoming the de-facto unfied communications platform.In the messaging / E-mail platform arena, Microsoft Exchange is by far the clear market leader. The graph below illustrates the market situation within the benchmark group..

43

Web conferencing and instant messaging solutions

During the last year, the share of organizations without any solutions in this area has drastically declined, but is still pretty high and the largest piece of the pie. Microsoft is doing well in this area with its Lync solution, which will replace its various predecessors (Live Meeting, Office Communicator). This is one of the areas that shows up in almost every customer’s Roadmap.

45

Messaging solution providers

There are lots of different solution providers for customers’ messaging solutions since only a handful of them reach a 2% market share. The biggest share, however, goes to organizations implementing and supporting the solutions themselves.

The Document Management solutions demand expertise from their providers. Solution Providers also do a reasonable amount of customization. Therefore they represent a distinct group of players from Messaging. Still, a big portion of companies do them by themselves or maybe leave the functionality at “out-of-the-box” level.

The hot topic of the day is "BYOD" and "CYOD". They translate as "Bring your own Device" and "Choose ...". In practise it means that IT solutions should offer secure and managed environments for users to use what ever device they want to. Their own PC, Hybrid (Notebook / Tablet) or a choice from corporate offerings. A lot of talk and some effort to manage the scenario.

In this maturity chart Cape Rock Ltds own maturity assessments are shown on a colored background and the benchmark group's average maturity is framed in red.

The Platform is a question and decision that most organizations need to make. This is needed because of at least two perspectives: 1) IT management and 2) supported business solutions. Which platforms provide the best functionality for us so that users are happy as well? Without compromising data confidentiality and integration. The more platforms are supported, the more it demands from IT, solutions and management solutions.

Preferred tablet brands in installed base and brands' shares in new purchases

Tablets are very good for reading, e-mail and browsing. But they haven't yet been able to replace PCs. That's due to limited input capabilities, lack of integration with business solutions and device management. Anyway, they're coming. Right now, Apple's iPAD dominates the market, which is still very small in this customer base. When Microsoft and its hardware partners come with new Windows 8-based Tablets, the boom and battle in the enterprise base will surely begin.

The big question for CIOs is whether there will be 2 or 3 devices per user (PC, Smartphone, Tablet). Many are piloting "Hybrdis" that combine the PC and Tablet in order to be more (cost) effective.

The Systems environment and the Datacenter provide the robustness, performance and capacities the organizations need. Or they don't. Key issues in this area today are virtualization and capacity services. More and more organizations have built their environment as hybrids consisting of their own Datacenter complemented with Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) deployments. Many organizations still lack good proactive management solutions.

Functionality of System environments:The key functionalities relate to performance, virtualization and storage (and backup). Traditionally, these solutions have been built inside the organization’s own environment. Many businesses need rapid deployments of new system resources and because of the increasing ease of such services offered as either private or public cloud solutions, the environments consist of both internal and external services. Even though virtualization has provided many benefits, a new issue is to implement tuned systems solutions for different key applications (F#6). These solutions provide great performance, deployment and management benefits.

Functionalities

1. Our systems environment is effectively consolidated & virtualized.

2. Our centralized storage systems guarantee data availability in all conditions.

3. We offer rapid, on-demand deployments of virtual systems to our business units / projects etc.

4. We utilize infrastructure as a service (IaaS) to provide flexibility in addition to our own systems’ capacities.

5. Systems environment’s cost analysis is used for optimizing our solutions & services.

6. Our systems environment offer the needed performance, functionality and user experience.

There are four key areas that we’ve asked organizations to assess. We feel that today it’s not only sufficient to secure the needed performance and functionality within and between the offices, but to secure good user experience for mobile workers and business mobility as well. One issue IT departments will face due to users' BYOD ("Bring Your Own Device") is to enable this through modern LAN / WLAN management capabilities that provide the authentication and security needed.

Because of the copier environment's merger with printers as Multifunction devices, the ownership of the environment might still reside outside the IT department. This can lead into a situation where it’s not integrated into the big picture with tight integration with document management and other needs.

Most organizations assess their environments’ maturity to satisfactory levels 3 or 4 but the functionality assessments suggest otherwise. Printing seems to be a less interesting area for many organizations even it is acknowledged that services need to be there right when you need them.

Functionality of Printing environments:An organization can empower it's document production and printing in several ways today. Some of the key functionalities are covered with these functionality arguments. Many organizations want to optimize the number and type of printers used by removing personal printers and securing Multifunction devices with the needed functionalities (F#1). Since most organizations use smartphones and tablets as well, the demand for printing ability from them is increasing (F#4).

Functionalities

1. The number of devices is optimized and defined on a demand basis for printed documents / materials.

2.By remote management (device management, problem solving, data security and reporting) we are able to control and improve our printing environment.

3. We recognize printing supplies’ share of the total cost and purchase them effectively.

4. Our printing environment also supports mobile users (user device independent) and new user devices (smartphones, tablets).

5. A printing environment cost analysis is used for increasing effectiveness.

6. Document production and printing is trouble-free.

Devices and market shares of printing environmentsThese charts illustrate the device brands and their market shares within the benchmark group in the three categories. Market shares counted by the number of devices.


89

Printing device vendorsThis chart describes the most popular vendors and their market shares within the benchmark group.

In the total market, unlike in the Systems and PCs & Workstations areas, many companies shop around without a chosen printing environment solution provider. The cause is probably that many organizations don't recognize the value, opportunities in cost efficiency and the need for better user experiences.

The trends are related very much to the functionality arguments of this area: Optimization of the number and types of devices, management, mobile printing, etc. More and more organizations are moving into a service model to pay for the outcome, not for devices.

New, modern IT Service models are being evaluated all over. There may not be any more good reasons to maintain one's own systems environments for basic services such as e-mail and messaging and collaboration altogether. Some business solutions, such as CRM, are also widely available. Cloud service offerings for different needs are available, and for most some type of hybrid that consist of both internal and external Cloud-based services are being deployed.

In this maturity graph Cape Rock Ltd's own maturity assessments are shown on colored background and benchmark group's average maturity is framed with red color.

Maturity of IT Service Models:

IT Service Models

How IT services are produced. How systems, solutions and services are supporting business needs.


94

Functionality of IT Service Models:The "soft spots" of IT service production are in the IT Service models and cost efficiency (total market). New IT service models, where systems capacities and IT resources can be freed from basic platform management into more business optimization, are being deployed. Or they are in the current Roadmaps. Most organizations still lack a detailed risk management plan to secure systems and services continuity when something disastrous happens.

Functionalities

1. Mission - / business critical systems are secured by proactive monitoring & automatic fault recovery functions.

2.Solutions’ service model has freed resources from systems & environment maintenance, solutions management and IT resource development.

3.Our IT infrastructure is managed using modern tools that cover the overall system (network, servers, data security, workstations, mobile devices).

4. The capacity & cost of our systems environment scales rapidly and flexibly when needed.

5. IT service production’s total costs analysis is used to optimize its implementation and development.

6. The usability and availability of our IT systems responds well to our business needs.

IT Service models and solutionsIn the total market, only less than half of organizations have deployed an IT Service Management (ITSM) solution. But a great deal more recognize the need for one.


96

IT Service modelsEvery now and then, organizations should make an analysis and roadmap of the IT services and their model from two perspectives:a) the services which are crucial and vital to be produced from internal systems resources; and b) for how long. The new IT Service models that provide the basic services from external resources are even more capable of meeting the needs of businesses. Some IT services will stay inside the organization, but a lot will not. The graph below illustrates the present and future plans of the Benchmark group in IT Service production.
