Offering Overview

Zimele is predominantly a SAP consultancy firm, but not entirely. Zimele has

over the past 5 years developed a substantial profile of none SAP

consultancy work. We at Zimele also consult on Governance Framework

Development, Enterprise Architecture Implementation, ICT Strategy

Implementation and Business and ICT alignment.

ICT Strategy

Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is a

discipline that has become pervasive through the

organisation. ICT Strategic Planning is developing a

vision that is aligned to business in order to both drive

and enable business strategy. It is a vision that is

translatable into quantifiable milestones through which

progress can be tracked against. Figure 1: ICT &

Business Alignment shows the relationship between ICT

and Business strategy, and how ICT resources enable

the mission of ICT through its strategy.

ICT Governance

ICT Governance is about managing risk and optimal resource allocation, in

order to enjoy business benefits. All businesses exist to get business benefits.

ICT governance is not managed through a single instrument, but a collective

of instruments. The foundation or framework to good governance is a

Governance Framework. The Governance Framework ascribes to an

organisation having appropriate policies to convert organisational principals

into executable behaviour, and the procedures are the articulation of

exactly how to bring espoused principles into reality.

Enterprise Architecture

Enterprise Architecture (EA) is an organisation wide view of ICT. It cements

the notion that ICT is pervasive across the organisation. EA through TOGAF

tools like the ADM cycle can be used to implement a business aligned ICT

Strategy through multiple ADM cycles. It ensures that ICT incentives are

ultimately enabling business needs by firstly looking at the business need and

then peeling away the layers of ICT whilst investigating every layer.
