How IT Road Mapping works with ETG

With almost 30 years of experience working with 100s of organizations, and a large number of in-house experts and consultants, we have the expertise to help shape organizations' IT for growth.

Our road mapping process typically begins from the start of any new relationship and consists of three key stages:

  • During our onboarding phase, ETG collects information about your organization’s current IT setup and identifies potential gaps or issues. We’ll also engage with stakeholders about your organization’s profile, broad goals and growth expectations.

  • Armed with this information, your personal account manager will liaise with our consultants to create a roadmap. This will typically cover immediate needs or desires, and an assessment of how your technology may need to adapt in line with your plans. We’ll also use industry and profile comparison to make suggestions based on other high performing organizations or wider industry-specific best practice.

  • Your account manager will then assess the roadmap with stakeholders to ensure it aligns with your priorities, adapting it as necessary. It is then an active plan: your account manager will review it on a regular basis, providing updates on long-term projects and modifying it based on changing requirements within your organization.
