Strategic IT opportunity:

In discussing the description of the strategic IT opportunity for our business one would have to conclude that it would be an expensive undertaking to be associated with a product that is considered a high technological device in the medical field. One which would entail many professionals opinions and approvals for final acceptance. While part of that is true we will try and save money through our IT approach to our business.

We will have a centralized location for which all the users of our product can tie inn with at any time. By creating a centralized location for information gathering and disseminating we will eliminate the need for anything local. By accomplishing this feat alone we will save money. Though one might think that the quality of the product would go down due to the lack of communication lines that would normally be there in a local setting for a product like this. The information vacuum will be sufficed by having an outstanding website with diagrams, pictures, and step by step instructions on just exactly how to use our product. This site will have sound capabilities so the end user can follow the step by step instructions easier. We will also have AVI pictures so that anyone can view the moving pictures associated with the sound. It would be like watching a mini-movie. We will have categories with different levels of concern on the web and if the end-user still has questions they can reach a health care professional that will be there to answer any questions. The site will have a location where you can click on to automatically place a toll free call right from the website. You will be able to type in your question to the person or computer and it will supply the answer or talk directly to a trained professional via the computer.

Considerations

A few things under consideration are placing a small internet screen on the medical device itself that would keep the user abreast of all the medical updates on an ongoing basis. Another consideration would be to implement voice recognition whereby the device would only activate upon a voice match.

Conclusion:

In concluding, we will follow the path of IT that other similar companies have followed in creating our IT landscape except for the fact that we will not have to rely on a localized IT environment for every area. By doing this we will save money and resources. The other implementation is that of a sophisticated though easy to follow and understand website. This would enable the end-user to operate the device with great certainty that if any questions or problems were to arise by using the device they can access a user friendly system that would provide solutions to their inhibitions.
