Technology Blog for N2 Services Inc.

Thanks to the great minds at work; we have seen over the years that IT Services and Technology Industry is always in a flux. Some of the best-practices that most of the great industry leaders subscribed to 5-years ago are not even on the list of best-practices now. This only reflects the speed at which the application technologies are being introduced and are being deprecated. This flux and continuous evolution is a sign of the industry trying to adapt to the increasing demands of the global internet age that we live in.

The key challenge to this continuous evolution is the need for a strong foundation that will remain consistent and will be ready for the changing technology demands. One of the proven methods for laying such foundation is a good Center of Excellence team. It has also been recognized that an Enterprise Architecture team needs a strong Project Management team to play the role of Business Liaison. In addition, Enterprise Architecture and Project Management teams collaborate to perform IT governance to ensure compliance with the standards and policies laid out by the executive leadership.

N2 Services Technology leadership has identified the changing demands of the IT industry and the need to adapt to it as being the core requirements for the Enterprise Architecture team at N2 Services. To accomplish this task the N2 Services has created the N2 Services Center of Excellence division that focuses on the best practices in the following departments -
  1. Project Management
  2. ERP Implementation
  3. Business Intelligence
  4. Systems Integration
  5. Change Management
  6. Identity Management

As part of our efforts to spread the core values of technology excellence and technology leadership, N2 has decided to publish some of these concepts for our peers in the technology sector. We would also like to use this as forum to identify leaders and best practices in the core sectors and collaborate with them for the growth of business and technology communities.
