Using Bentley Systems, Inc (BSY) as a baseline, complete
the following:
Compare and contrast the IT approaches of these
organizations with the one being assessed. Highlight relevant findings from the
literature search that can inform the assessment of the current organization’s
IT systems.
Research and analyze similar organizations to gain insights
into their IT systems, strategies, and outcomes. Possibly using industry-specific
publications, reports, and journals that contain case studies or articles
discussing the IT systems implemented by organizations. These publications
might provide insights into the types of systems used, their effectiveness, and
any challenges faced during implementation. Specifically, operational,
management, and strategic IT systems, business intelligence as it relates to
operational excellence. (Examples of such systems: high-speed and secure network, VoIP, on-prem
and cloud-based DBMS including SQL Server, Azure, Snowflake, DevOps w/CI/CD
pipelines and git, ERP, CRM, HR and payroll systems, MS Teams and SharePoint for
communication/collaboration, and reporting solutions such as PowerBI and Qlik)
You may not find exhaustive technical details about organizations’
IT systems, so gathering enough high-level information to understand the types
of systems, their purpose, and their impact on those organizations can still
contribute to a meaningful comparative analysis.
1. Literature search exploring similar organizations and
the systems that are used in parallel environments including, but not limited
to the following, in order of importance:
·
Similar industries (Simulation Software) /competitors
(suggested organizations include Autodesk (ADSK) and Dassault Systems (DASTY),
but am open to more appropriate
·
b. Similar organizational structures (same suggestions as
above)
·
c. Similar systems and platforms (as it relates to internal
business functions, not external software offerings – same suggestions as above.
If not available, can be skipped)
Critical analysis of the literature search including a
thorough comparison and contrast of the
findings.
If possible, include org structure (matrix), company size (# of locations
& employees), and the revenue/financial performance over the past 3-5 years
(Bentley has only been public for 3), as well as the impact of Covid-19 on the
business models of these companies, as their offerings support the construction
industry.
