IT Transformation

A Unified Enterprise for Cost-Effective Mission Success
Harris IT Services helps government and commercial customers enable their missions with a wide range of end-to-end assured communications® and IT solutions. Among our full suite of offerings are IT transformation capabilities designed to enable your technology infrastructure and performance to meet current and evolving business needs and objectives.

Leveraging our rich history of designing, implementing, operating, and maintaining IT and communications infrastructures, Harris IT Services offers a proven transformation methodology built on an Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL) framework. Furthermore, we effectively manage the critical constraints of time, cost, and scope by adhering to proven System Development Life Cycle (SDLC) processes throughout each program phase, including strategy, design, transition, and operation, as well as continual improvements and expansion as needed.

With transformation expertise that spans architecture planning and standards, infrastructure design, and integration, Harris IT Services takes a holistic approach built on proven methodologies to help customers consolidate, evolve, and modernize their IT enterprise. Our standards-based, repeatable solutions unify and streamline disparate systems and networks across distributed environments, resulting in highly simplified, flexible, secure, and manageable IT and communications infrastructures. These performance improvements will enable your organization to significantly reduce total cost of ownership, minimize risk, maximize security, and greatly enhance mission readiness.

Consolidating and Modernizing Infrastructures
Increasingly, government and commercial organizations face a difficult decision—continue to struggle with their disparate legacy systems and networks, or transform to a streamlined enterprise that can seamlessly evolve with technology and dynamic business needs. Managing multiple incompatible elements of an IT infrastructure negatively impacts the mission with inefficiencies and unnecessary expenses, as well as ineffective and even broken business processes and operations. At the same time, without the right partner at your side, transforming the enterprise can be a daunting and risky challenge. Harris IT Services offers deep expertise and proof of performance, helping agencies transform unwieldy and complex infrastructures into a streamlined system that effectively serves existing and emerging business needs. Furthermore, we execute our transformation solutions with best-of-breed modernization strategies for centralized management via consolidated data centers and Network Operations Centers (NOCs), call centers, and other support systems critical to achieving and sustaining IT enterprise integrity, health, and security.

End-to-End Tailored Transformations
Harris IT Services takes a network-centric approach to enterprise architecture planning that is consistently focused on the business needs of the organization. We build a program strategy based on our extensive infrastructure experience combined with a deep understanding of your specific user requirements and legacy environment. The result is a realistic and highly tailored transition plan that effectively defines the project road map required for your organization's consolidation and modernization success. As Harris IT Services begins the design phase, we work closely with you to refine and scope the desired end state of the enterprise infrastructure. After building timelines and cost estimates, as well as defining measurable performance criteria and standards, we'll design a solution that strategically combines more effective uses of your existing IT investments with new technologies and capabilities to consolidate and modernize the infrastructure. We'll utilize our extensive integration expertise to maximize the integral role your network plays in providing fast and seamless connectivity within and between a consolidated number of data centers and applications. The end result is an assured transformation solution that empowers users with seamless communications and information when, where, and how they need it.

A Standards-Based, Best-Practice Approach
Harris IT Services' transformation methodology is grounded in a comprehensive knowledge of the Systems Development Life Cycle (SDLC) process and Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL) framework. In addition, we adhere to Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS); ISO 9000 and 20000; and Control Objectives for Information and related Technology (COBIT). Our commitment to standards-based practices and proven methodologies enables us to deliver a systematic and repeatable IT transformation solution to each and every customer. Equally important, we closely manage the transformation process through performance-based Service Level Agreements (SLAs), ensuring we meet project milestones on time and within budget.

With Harris IT Services' transformation expertise, even highly complex and distributed organizations are assured of a common and optimized communications and IT environment that maximizes scalability, flexibility, security, and return on infrastructure investments.
