Driving business value by focusing on actionable outcomes

If it doesn’t provide business value, what’s the point?

It’s a good question for any company hiring IT services. You want positive results, but outcomes are not just about technology. Most outcomes are related to business problems. And when that problem is fixed, your business can unlock hidden or unrealized value.

At Idea Harbor, we’re not IT fixers. We’re business fixers.

Why business value is our unrelenting focus

We believe a focus on business value is essential to your success and your business's bottom line. First and foremost, we aim to provide a demonstratable and validated effect on your business.

Too often, projects and programs become inward-looking, focusing on the work itself and losing sight of how it is meant to help the business. That is why we start our first conversation by actively listening to your overall business goals; then, we delve into what’s blocking your enterprise from achieving them.

“While business outcomes have always been a component of IT services, recent reports and surveys show that more and more CIOs are having their role expanded with a greater impact on business areas that drive efficiency and deliver value.”
