    • QUOTE: A technology roadmap is a display, document, or diagram that illustrates the technology adoption plan at a given organization. Technology roadmaps are created to help business leaders plan and strategize which, when, and why certain technologies will be onboarded while avoiding expensive mistakes and even plan for technologies becoming obsolete. An effective technology roadmap should also outline a strategy to reach short- and long-term digital transformation goals, if applicable.
    • There are numerous methods and models for technology roadmapping. However, this type of visual usually falls into two categories: IT systems roadmaps and technology roadmaps.
      • IT systems roadmap: An IT systems roadmap is a diagram or model designed to set the parameters that enable key functioning across the business or organization. An effective IT roadmap will lay out current IT capabilities, projected IT needs, and any improvements you plan to make to execute against your business strategy. Generally, IT roadmaps are meant to communicate plans about the major systems that keep your business running. These systems include, but are not limited to, customer relationship management systems (CRM), enterprise resource planning systems (ERP), data analytics systems, identity management systems, cybersecurity systems, and more.
      • Technology roadmap: A technology roadmap illustrates the technology presently available and emphasizes scheduled improvements. A technology roadmap should also consider which technologies will become obsolete or are scheduled for end of life. For example, a technology roadmap will show when the previous system will sunset and when the new one will be implemented. As organizations lay out their strategy and implementation to help execute on their vision, a technology roadmap will help them determine which technologies to invest in and how to implement them. Technology roadmaps should enable technological infrastructure improvements to meet both long-term and short-term targets of the business or organization in mind.
    • Why do you need a technology roadmap? The overall function of a technology roadmap is to align your target stakeholders, like IT, software engineering, operations executives, and even sales teams, by creating a course of action to onboard new technology solutions or maintain existing ones. This method helps teams visualize, prepare for, and execute the desired outcomes for the organization. Creating a thorough technology roadmap gives you the ability to:
      • Have a clear picture of your company’s IT infrastructure abilities and how they align with business outcomes.
      • Address any current IT issues.
      • Cut costs by removing any unnecessary technologies and applications.
      • Increase productivity by implementing technology that serves your immediate needs.
      • Improve IT and cybersecurity.
      • Avoid or mitigate against system failures by learning any weaknesses in your IT infrastructure.
      • Resolve any conflicts around business priorities.
      • Prepare for digital transformation.
