360 ° Align

Companies today have the challenging task of seamlessly integrating technology and business into their operations. Business information technology is integral in business improvement and reaching business goals. Managing business technology, learning how to improve business with new technology, and the technology development process can make or break a company.

But even more important is business technology management and how it aligns to all aspects of an organization. BTAG's 360 ° Align is a process that insures all parts of a business are optimized and working in conjunction to achieve a common goal. It is critical not only to align the information technology project portfolio, systems, people and processes to the business functions of an organization but also to its customers requirements and the marketplace.

It’s not always easy to marry the business office technology you deal with every day with general business requirements such as effective communication skills, management skills, and business risk. Leaders today need to understand business technology management, recognize barriers to effective communication when explaining business IT solutions, and possess project management skills.
