Standards to Support Gap Analysis
Introduction
The standards to support gap analysis is the process of comparing present IT technology
to the desired state, and then creating a strategy for how you will fill the gap. The "what" and
"when" of IT technologies, network, and architecture are only the beginning of a gap analysis.
Having a clear understanding of the "why" and "how" of the benefit of updating technology is
essential. Technology tends to evolve more quickly than any other aspect of a company's
operations. As a result, every institution is under even more pressure to keep up with the ever-
changing technological landscape. In order to secure your company and consumer data, you must
also fulfill safety requirements and obligations. It is difficult for most IT teams to take a step
back from their day-to-day work to thoroughly evaluate existing tooling and system capabilities
as well as analyses future needs. However, if you want to construct a digital strategy that keeps
moving the business forward, this is a critical step. Setting goals for the future requires a clear
understanding of where you are now and where you want to go (Turskis et al., 2019). You may
minimize development time, iterate quicker as an organization, and better fulfill user and
business goals if you do an effective gap analysis. The objective is to find little ways to enhance
IT tools and procedures. Improved corporate performance, team productivity, and customer
satisfaction are all possible outcomes of these changes.
