			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3 style="text-align: center;">Getting business value from IT systems is not easy – value doesn’t just happen from deployment of software.</h3>
<p>We see many <strong>public sector IT systems disasters</strong> – many projects fail, systems are badly designed, run slowly, are difficult to use and cost a fortune.</p>
<p><strong>IT systems in the private sector are often little better</strong> (you are probably aware of this as a consumer or know companies who spend a fortune on IT systems and appear to get little value for money).</p>
<p>Gaining better results has been persistently elusive despite continual advances in technology. Research shows that between 75% and 92% of all IT systems produce no measurable net gain/benefit.</p>
<p>Ability to obtain net business gain from IS/IT is still in its infancy – we are where cars were in the 1930s, regularly breaking down, using a lot of oil, petrol, etc. The potential value is yet to be realised.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Against this backdrop, <strong>Profit from Information</strong> helps companies to maximise levels of business value gained from IT systems, i.e.to use <strong>Information Systems Technology for maximum benefit</strong>.</p>
<p>We use our own approach developed over more than 15 years, which is pragmatic, innovative and cuts to the heart of the problem – it’s also significantly, often dramatically, effective because it’s based on solving a problem and not drawn from ‘IT management text books’.</p>
<p>However, be assured that <strong>we enhance rather than replace existing methods and practices</strong>. We combine traditional and inherent principles of business with the newer facilities of IT systems.</p>
<p>We act as consultants <strong>to make sure that our clients’ business, people, information, processes and systems combine in the most effective way</strong>.</p>
<p>We ensure the <strong>highest rate of success, maximum value and benefits, matched expectations and an optimum return on investment</strong> (ROI) – in other words, the best possible improvement to profitability that IS/IT could possibly engender given the resources available.</p>
<p>Models for maximising value gained from IS/IT are changing. Profit from Information is helping them to change – why not let us help you?</p>

<p>For years, Information Systems Technology has been perceived as being:</p>
<ul>
<li>High on project failure</li>
<li>High on expectations</li>
<li>High on technical focus</li>
<li>Low on delivery</li>

</ul>
<h4>IS/IT Solution:</h4>
<p>Profit from Information specifically addresses these issues. We help companies to assess and improve the degree of business value gained from information systems and related activities. For the first time, a comprehensive and practical approach has been developed that typically has a significant, often dramatic, effect on levels of business value and benefits obtained. The strength of this solution grew from observation of real projects and programmes in the 1980s and 1990s and continues to be updated to this very day.</p>
