Explanation:
Optimization models provide companies with a methodology for understanding their IT capabilities. They provide an actionable roadmap to help organizations transition from one Optimization level to the next.
Using the IO stages of Basic, Standardized, Rationalized, and Dynamic, your SAM partner can conduct a SAM Optimization assessment based on 10 key SAM competencies. The end goal of the assessment is to evaluate the SAM Optimization level of your organization based on a set of established and objective criteria. Once your organization knows its optimization level, it can work to advance from one optimization level to another, based on guidance from your SAM partner.
