Vision Sourcing for Business Alignment
(Dynamic management and secure solutions to companies to meet their business demands)
IT Governance - The Cornerstone of Business Solutions

Businext Vision Sourcing (BVS)
At the heart of Businext Vision Sourcing (BVS) is an IT governance process—a vision-based discussion between business entrepreneurs and IT about how to invest IT resources, including people and money. The requirements of the IT governance process can ignite our thoughts and lead us to the vision sourcing concept of Connect Next.
• A single mechanism and process for capturing and prioritizing business demands.
• Visibility into the performance and total cost of delivering IT services.
• Critical insight into and control of the assets, processes, people, and projects supporting those services.
BVS solutions endow you to deliver high-quality services cost-effectively, meet your commitments to business units, and deliver the most value from existing IT resources.
Let’s explore what an organization that has achieved Business Vision Sourcing looks like.

An optimized Businext Vision Sourcing which works till eternity
A well-governed and business-aligned organization becomes the service provider of choice for its enterprise, able to ensure that the business receives high-quality, cost-competitive services.
The IT function is professional, delivering guarantees to the business. The businext impact of every IT service that we offer can make vast difference to your business.
You can streamline and automate processes to fulfill demand for IT services. You endow users to self-select their own services and service levels from a catalog. You can fully optimize resources, encouraging users to consume only the resources they need. You make users more productive by empowering them with fast, efficient self-help and problem resolution capabilities.
You have a clear picture of the cost of your services, which endow you to benchmark against external providers. You can generate report service levels in meaningful business terms with international standards.
You can rapidly respond to business change through new or adapted services. You can control and implement change, and guarantee the quality and integrity of infrastructure elements and software applications. BVS provides insight into the quality of IT services, so that you can strive for continuous improvement and implement efficient processes for introducing change and resolving issues.

Security reliability and complete control on your Assets
Many organizations lack clear insight into and control of their often-underused, unproductive, and risk-exposed enterprise assets. In contrast, an organization that has achieved BVS can provide the following assurances and answers.
At BVS, our inventory of software and its application assets are accurate and up-to-date. We can enforce confidential policies for assets in our solutions.
We comply with software license agreements. We can maximize asset value across the entire lifecycle – from acquisition to eternity.
We can control spending by reconciling assets with vendor contracts and agreements. We know which assets are underused and which assets are exposed and can rapidly make smart decisions to consolidate.
BVS provides the ability to build a comprehensive inventory of all of your assets. These insights can protect you from security risks, help you deliver business continuity by ensuring that critical data on your assets is stored and backed-up appropriately and ensure compliance with regulations, vendor contracts and license agreements. BVS helps you optimize asset utilization to derive more value from your existing assets.
Furthermore, you can manage the configuration of your hardware and assets and manage changes made to custom applications to increase efficiencies and reduce risk.

The necessity of automation – Role of the BVS solutions from Connect Next
A major retailer annually negotiates thousands of contracts with vendors, suppliers, and strategic business partners.
The contracts range from purchases of equipment and services to advertising and temporary-help agencies.
This retailer has been growing rapidly but it had no central contract repository — and no
way to track contracts or re-apply knowledge gained from previous negotiations.
To address these challenges, the retailer turned to Connect Next to help manage the contract process.
The retailer expects to achieve a cumulative annual benefit of more than $5 million, driven by increased revenues related to the contracts, administrative and staff savings through negotiation and managing contracts, personnel and staff and a reduction in risk.

People, Projects, and IT Portfolio Aligned with Businext Objectives
To maximize the effectiveness of your staff, you need to have the right people on the right projects at the right time.
Organizations that have achieved their targets have better control into current and planned IT projects, the business processes they support, and all related costs.
They have the information they need to prioritize IT investments and make sound business decisions. At Connect Next we deliver the following assurance to our clients.
We analyze and manage our business opportunities.
We maintain a balanced portfolio of IT services to support business growth and maximize return.
We prioritize investments based on business value, goals, and objectives. We ensure that IT projects meet agreed-upon time and budget goals.
We connect and network you with technology to automate business processes, increase efficiency, improve accuracy and reduce risk.
We provide the required IT solutions for your business, allocating and recovering costs for the services we deliver.
We are a flexible service provider, offering alternate usage rate plans and pricing/chargeback models.
By providing insight into the total cost of IT services, including labor costs, you empower business units to make fiscally responsible choices.
