Recent research by Gartner Group indicates that "A gap exists between the needs of business and IT’s ability to satisfy them. The delays involved will lead to a lack of support for businesses, particularly where IT is an essential driver or enabler of rapid market change."
The report states that:
"Companies have always had a problem aligning IT development with business goals.
Management talks in terms of business models, business processes and specific business activities, while the IT department talks about technology and how IT will be integrated into an overall architecture. The result is a capability gap caused by the time taken to translate business requirements into IT systems."

Bridging this "capability gap" is a key RWA speciality and differentiator.
RWA's consultants have BOTH the business know-how to understand the business needs and the technical expertise to translate these into IT solutions.
Our consultants have worked with companies such as MyTravel plc and Energis performing this role.

The Gartner report goes on to conclude that:
- To avoid hobbling the business, a company must define its business model and enterprise architecture at the same time.
- A business architecture should be created that links all aspects of the business model with the enterprise architecture.
RWA's expertise in the creation of business models, enterprise application and network architectures have already provided significant business benefit to RWA's clients.
RWA's consultants are available to help you "Bridge The Gap".
