IT-consulting is a kind of outsourcing services, which are characterized by the provision of advisory assistance in the field of information technology. IT-enterprises are consulting for IT-consulting, which are planning to take the business to a higher level. Despite the fact that the IT-consulting market is characterized by a high level of competition, not all firms that provide IT-services have a high organization of internal business processes. An urgent issue requiring research is the search for ways to improve the efficiency of IT-consulting firms. Currently, the agro-industrial complex, like any other sphere of business, does not do without information technology. Software solutions for automation of agrarian enterprises are characterized by features that are determined by the specifics of agricultural production processes. For agriculture, IT-solutions are needed, developed for certain segments - plant growing, livestock, processing, production, etc. In order to increase the efficiency of agribusiness, in terms of reducing operating costs and production costs, the most promising direction is the application of management systems and optimization of production processes. In view of the fact that in agricultural enterprises there are often no specialists with the necessary skills for setting up and maintaining already established software solutions, there is a need to consult IT-consulting services. The functions of IT-consulting are as follows: - selection of software for solving specific problems of the agricultural enterprise; - training in working with special software;- adaptation of agricultural software to the needs of the enterprise. The work of the consultants of IT consulting companies should be to find the most suitable software solution and inform the company’s management of the importance of using complex products in production, the advantages of automation of management processes, and also to train qualified personnel and

With the transition to post-industrial society, a revolution in the business and technology has taken place. Innovation has begun to require a high level of training and rapid adaptation to the trends of the digital era, and in this regard, managers are in dire need of rapid training. Human capital has come to the fore, so consulting and outsourcing services have become quite popular and necessary tools for managing an enterprise. In the article we have explained the essence of the concepts of "outsourcing" and "consulting". We have considered the main motives of the management personnel, regarding the transition to outsourcing, ie delegation of certain business processes to an outsourced organization - the executor. We have learned that outsourcing services can be broadly divided into two parts: business process (both manufacturing and non-manufacturing) and outsourcing of IT services. Based on this classification, we have analyzed the world market and identified trends in the use of outsourcing by species in Ukraine. In our work we have identified the main types of consulting services and historical prerequisites for their development. Having analyzed the international rating editions, we have found out modern trends of consulting services, and analyzed the market in Ukraine. Much attention is paid to the general and distinctive features of outsourcing and consulting. The hypothesis of the effectiveness of consulting and outsourcing as an innovative tool of enterprise management is proved in the article.

Enterprise Architecture (EA) has gained importance in recent years, mainly for its concept of “alignment” between the strategic and operational levels of organizations. Such alignment occurs when Information Technology (IT) is applied correctly and timely, working in synergy and harmony with strategy and the operation to achieve mutually their own goals and satisfy the organizational needs.Both the strategic and operational levels have standards that help model elements necessary to obtain desired results. In this sense, BMM and BPMN were selected because both have the support of OMG and they are fairly well known for modelling the strategic level and operational level, respectively. In addition, i* modeling goal can be used for reducing the gap between these two standards. This proposal may help both the high-level design of the information system and to the appropriate identification of the business processes that will support it.This paper presents a methodology for aligning strategy and the operation based on standards and heuristics. We have made a classification for elements of the models and, for some specific cases, an extension of the heuristics associated between them. This allows us to propose methodology, which uses above-mentioned standards and combines mappings, transformations and actions to be considered in the alignment process.

Case Data

Grounded in the dynamic capabilities perspective, our study addresses the question of how information technology outsourcing capabilities can interact with other IT strategic capabilities to enable organizational agility through the ongoing reconfiguration of IT solutions. To answer our question, we built on the notion of microfoundations that undergird the high-level dynamic capabilities of sensing, seizing, and reconfiguring. Adopting a theory elaboration approach, we studied the case of a firm evolving in a turbulent environment, which had outsourced the quasi-totality of its IT services and had a mature IT architecture. From the case data, we specify two types of microfoundations: repeatability-related microfoundations (i.e. processes) and ability-related microfoundations (i.e. IT department structure, skills, simple rules, and communications) that undergird either information technology outsourcing dynamic capabilities or IT architecture dynamic capabilities. We propose a model that outlines how the interaction between repeatability-related microfoundations, supported by ability-related microfoundations, enables the reconfiguration of IT solutions. Our study also elucidates how a firm can follow a logic of opportunity enabled by their IT outsourcing and IT architecture dynamic capabilities.

The entry of the Russian economy into the 6th technical and technological structure is a matter that affects ensuring the national security of the state and its transition with the help of artificial intelligence to the creation of new developments and increasing the efficiency of work in many areas of the agro-industrial complex (AIC). This will ensure a transition to a qualitatively new level of management of the global economy. Issues related to the growing role of implementing effective IT technologies in agricultural enterprises and the need for timely recognition and use of the opportunities for continuous improvement of business processes are considered. The analysis of the effectiveness of the implementation of IT solutions, including the necessary resource base for this, was carried out as part of the investment of IT projects. A formula is presented for analyzing the cost-effectiveness of implementing integrated IT systems in food industry enterprises with the need to assess the total costs of an IT system for the entire life cycle (development, implementation, commissioning and development, and decommissioning costs). The introduction of information and communication technologies in food production will reduce the production costs of agricultural enterprises, as well as focus on factors of time, quality and surveillance, since the introduction of a suitable IT system will speed up the optimization of organizational and analytical processes. Significant cost savings and long-term productivity gains are key concepts that form the basis of enterprise success in a modern market economy. The necessity of developing a new integrated methodology is substantiated, allowing to take into account separately the development of software and hardware for digital transformation of enterprises and separately calculate the surplus value from the introduction and use of IT solutions in food production enterprises.

The work examines the role, problems and prospects of a «smart factory» in the conditions of digitalization of enterprises, taking into account imbalance of the business environment. It is defined that in modern conditions, most enterprises focus on automating business processes and increasing efficiency, and only a minority of them transforms the business model, which is grounded on an insufficient level of maturity for drastic changes. It is substantiated that the so-called «smart factory» is a promising direction for the development of digitalization of enterprises, taking into account the imbalance of the business environment. It is noted that the «smart factory» is an environment wherein machines and equipment can improve processes through automation and self-isolation. At the same time, they are aimed at mass production of articles, while maintaining a maximum production flexibility. These requirements are ensured due to the high level of automation and robotization of the enterprise. Automated control systems for technological and business processes are also widely used due to their consistency at each stage of interaction. The study of the content of the concept of «smart factory» allowed to determine and systematize its functions (planning, logistics, supply chain, product development), advantages (accessibility, optimization, proactivity, flexibility), segmentation, problem groups (personnel, technologies, business process). It is specified that the development and implementation of «smart factories», despite the advantages of the latter, can be difficult and risky. Enterprises that have succeeded with the introduction of «smart factories» can increase production and value by reducing production costs, improving quality and flexibility, as well as reducing the time for the market entrance.

The use of cloud computing is becoming widespread, but systematic study of its managerial implications is lacking. This paper examines cloud computing in the context of other major changes in Information Technology (IT) and explores the revolutionary transformations and challenges which bring to IT management. Cloud computing has a high reliability, low cost and good availability. With the increasing use of technology in modern era, there is a growing requirement of information technology infrastructure management. Over some decades in the past, organizations have put their efforts in the development and application of information technology to collect, analyze and process the data. Various computing paradigms have been employed for the purpose and needs have emerged for enormous infrastructure.Cloud Computing is evolving as a key computing platform for sharing resources that include infrastructure, software application and business processes. Virtualization is a core technology for enabling cloud resources sharing (Liang et al. 2009). Virtualization refers to the abstracting of a form of technology away from its original environment. The benefit derives from being able to redeliver it in a virtual (or “logical”) form capable of the same functionality as the original, but with greater flexibility (Tata Communication White Paper 2012). This paper presents how Cloud Computing service model – Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) can be used to meet the increasing demands of the Information Technology Infrastructure Management and how Cloud Computing paradigm can prove to be future solution for such systems. With IaaS, IT services can be delivered as a subscription service, eliminating up-front costs and driving down ongoing support costs.

ITB STIKOM Bali is a technology-based university so that all business processes, especially related to academics, student affairs, and finance, utilize information technology. Management of the information system and technology is carried out by the Computer and Network Center unit (Pusat Komputer dan Jaringan - PUSKOMJAR). In the management of Information Technology (IT) services, an agreement is needed in the form of Service Level Management (SLM) which contains the level of service, quality of service, and complaints handling, so users’ needs are aligned with the system developer. Meanwhile, in managing the internal system of ITB STIKOM Bali, the agreement between PUSKOMJAR and related units is only in the form of submitting a form for making or changing the system. Therefore, it raises a problem if there is a mismatch in the manufacture or development of the system because there is no contract document that regulates in detail about the system. Hence, designing an SLM of IT and system services at ITB STIKOM Bali to overcome these problems is necessary. The research presents a case study by analyzing and designing the SLM of service system and IT in ITB STIKOM Bali. The applied research method is literature study and observation, analysis of existing SLM, designing new SLM, and conclusions. The result of the research is a document of SLM for internal IT and system services at ITB STIKOM Bali. Based on the analysis and design of SLM, the SLM document can help the PUSKOMJAR in documenting IT service information and making it easier for users to get information related to the provided IT services.

The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) has the potential to improve the production and business processes by enabling the extraction of valuable information from industrial processes. The mining industry, however, is rather traditional and somewhat slow to change due to infrastructural limitations in communication, data management, storage, and exchange of information. Most research efforts so far on applying IIoT in the mining industry focus on specific concerns such as ventilation monitoring, accident analysis, fleet and personnel management, tailing dam monitoring, and pre-alarm system while an overall IIoT architecture suitable for the general conditions in the mining industry is still missing. This article analyzes the current state of Information Technology in the mining sector and identifies a major challenge of vertical fragmentation due to the technological variety of various systems and devices offered by different vendors, preventing interoperability, data distribution, and the exchange of information securely between devices and systems. Based on guidelines and practices from the major IIoT standards, a high-level IIoT architecture suitable for the mining industry is then synthesized and presented, addressing the identified challenges and enabling smart mines by automation, interoperable systems, data distribution, and real-time visibility of the mining status. Remote controlling, data processing, and interoperability techniques of the architecture evolve all stages of mining from prospecting to reclamation. The adoption of such IIoT architecture in the mining industry offers safer mine site for workers, predictable mining operations, interoperable environment for both traditional and modern systems and devices, automation to reduce human intervention, and enables underground surveillance by converging operational technology (OT) and information technology (IT). Significant open research challenges and directions are also studied and identified in this paper, such as mobility management, scalability, virtualization at the IIoT edge, and digital twins.
