Large Enterprises

Windward leverages a portfolio of over 600 projects and over a decade of experience that allows us to be a thought leader and trusted advisor to our large enterprise clients.

For large enterprises, managing existing and new technologies throughout the enterprise is challenging under any circumstances, but, the current economic downturn has further exacerbated the challenge by requiring solutions that are both useful and cost-effective. Meanwhile, with an ever-changing environment, the increasing complexities of technology, and a greater dependence on networked technologies (for example, smart grid and meters), senior management and the lines of business are placing growing pressure on the IT organization to align IT services and business strategy for the greatest return on investment. Analysts report that infrastructure and operations can represent 60% to 70% of overall IT budget spending. Therefore, executives must implement a Service-Centric IT strategy that ensures all IT decisions maximize business value and span the organization, processes, technology, and information needs.

Windward provides our large enterprise clients with proven, real-world solutions to meet these challenges and migrate to a true Service-Centric IT strategy. Windward helps our clients to:

• Align business management priorities and metrics to IT operations;
• Standardize on process frameworks;
• Manage service-levels, availability and compliance;
• Ensure high availability of services to end users;
• Centralize data for reporting and dashboards;
• Develop solutions for deploying and managing real-time infrastructure.

Windward approaches all challenges by addressing both the process and technology aspects of the solution. In addition, we maintain a product-agnostic approach to ensure that we can leverage existing investments as well as propose best-in-class technology.
