The Infrastructure and Technology Platforms Capabilities Map features all the functions and components of a typical enterprise technology infrastructure and platforms. Today, hybrid infrastructures – cloud, on-premises, hardware, software, and services – are the norm, and most large companies have complex IT landscapes. The technology infrastructure and core platform capabilities map will help IT leaders gain a holistic perspective of the IT landscape to better plan and manage the transformation and evolution. 

Today, every business is a technology business – only the difference is the level of investment and intensity. Given the pervasiveness and expansiveness of technology, it is difficult to get one’s arms around the beast. The Technology Infrastructure and Platform Capabilities Map helps IT leaders grasp the overall breadth, depth, scope, and extent of the technologies involved and set out the structure, systems, governance framework, and managerial oversight.

The Infrastructure and Technology Platforms Capabilities Map comprises ~500 capabilities across three levels. 

(Note: As the Infrastructure and technology platforms capability map is a digital deliverable, we do not accept returns or issue refunds. So, please read the product description carefully before purchasing.)

The Strategic Imperative to Transform Technology Infrastructure and Platforms: 

In the digital era, companies must transform their technology infrastructure and platforms to survive and thrive amidst the rapidly changing business landscape. This transformation is crucial for several reasons:

1. Enhanced customer experience: Customers expect personalized and seamless experiences across various channels in an increasingly connected world. Adapting technology infrastructure enables companies to understand customer needs better and deliver tailored solutions, thus improving satisfaction and loyalty.

2. Increased operational efficiency: Upgrading technology infrastructure helps automate manual processes, streamline workflows, and eliminate bottlenecks. This leads to significant cost savings, faster decision-making, and improved overall performance.

3. Agility and adaptability: A modernized technology platform allows companies to respond rapidly to changing market conditions, customer demands, and competitor actions. With the ability to pivot quickly, organizations can capitalize on new opportunities and stay ahead of the competition.

4. Data-driven decision-making: Transforming technology infrastructure facilitates efficient data collection, analysis, and visualization. This enables organizations to make informed decisions based on real-time insights, resulting in better business outcomes.

5. Security and compliance: Cybersecurity threats continually evolve, and regulatory requirements are becoming more stringent. Investing in robust technology infrastructure protects sensitive data and helps maintain compliance with industry standards.

6. Innovation and growth: An agile technology environment fosters innovation by providing the tools and resources to develop new products, services, and business models. This drives long-term growth and ensures a company’s continued relevance in the market.

Technology Infrastructure and Platform Capabilities Map Deliverables:

The Technology Infrastructure and Platform Capabilities include the following formats:

• An Excel spreadsheet with a grouping of capabilities. 
• A PowerPoint format with the top two levels presented in a nested visualization.
• A Word document with capabilities in a multilevel list format.
• Capability KPIs
• Capability Definitions
• Plus, bonus files.

What the Instructure and Technology Platforms Capabilities Map is NOT: The IT Management Capability Model is NOT a list of all technologies, even though it includes vital technology areas. It does NOT comprise architectural views, and it is not a representation of the complete tech stack. Instead, it is a framework of crucial infrastructure and platform areas and decomposes the technology management value chain activities. 

Value and Uses of the Infrastructure and Technology Platforms Capabilities Map

A capabilities map is a fundamental and foundational entity in the business architecture continuum. A Technology Infrastructure and Platform Capabilities List encapsulates end-to-end aspects of the IT management functions with a detailed, multilevel capabilities list. It is about managing the business of IT.

There are several benefits of leveraging an Instructure and Technology Platforms Capabilities Map:

• Gain a holistic perspective of what technology infrastructure and platform capabilities are necessary for an enterprise
• Conduct a maturity assessment of the technology infrastructure and platform and develop a roadmap to achieve the desired state.
• Create a RACI matrix to assign roles and responsibilities and build accountability.
• Set up a lightweight governance structure to help oversee and achieve functional excellence.
• Procure the right tools and technologies to enhance the infrastructure and platform capabilities. (Capstera’s technology infrastructure and platform capabilities map do not provide a vendor list or reviews, but understanding the underlying capabilities helps map them to vendor features.)

Created by technical architects and business architecture domain experts, the technology and platform capabilities model is detailed, in-depth, and conforms to the construct of MECE (mutually exclusive and collectively exhaustive).

Provisos:

• We cannot accept refunds or returns as the products are digital deliverables.
• Please realize that in some circumstances, a generic capability model may or may not be entirely applicable to your enterprise needs.
• IMPORTANT: Capstera does NOT provide capability definitions or descriptions. However, based on experience, we believe most capability names are self-explanatory. Furthermore, when companies customize the capability maps, the context, level, and meaning change.
• We do not offer implied or explicit warranties, which are sold as-is.
• The sale does not include customization or implementation help.
• Please review our standard Ecommerce Store Terms and Conditions.
