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.
