Introduction
There is an old adage which insists “time is money.” While simple, in concept, it has been proven true, in fact. In a global, technologically driven society, however, the very idea of time has changed. Having once implied a spanning space between the hours of “nine to five” relative to the person or organization from whose vantage money was viewed, time is now irrespective of person, organization, or location; it is, literally, “24/7.” With this shift in perception, organizations, especially, have taken on the greater challenge of ensuring efficiency in their operations, allowing their customers the freedom and peace of mind to have access to the products or services they purchased without interruption. Working behind the scenes, as it were, are the IT companies that make the realization of this freedom and peace of mind possible.
In the scenario with Fiction Corporation, it is quite evident that the role of IT is paramount to the success of the business, in general, and to the company’s decision to- move, in particular. Big-Proj will receive the “big break” for which it is looking by ensuring compliance with the goals set forth in regards to the scope of the project, the timeline projections, and the budgetary requirement of $500,000.00.
