IT strategy & architecture

Set a target architecture, break it into realistic steps and settle application choices with arguments everyone understands.

The challenge

An accurate map is not enough to make a decision. Leadership needs a target that states choices: which applications to keep, merge or retire, in what order, and at what cost.

What we often see

  • Too many overlapping applications, and maintenance that keeps getting more expensive
  • Dependence on one vendor, or software that will soon be out of support
  • Investments decided project by project, without a shared target
  • A written master plan that nobody uses to make decisions

Our approach

  1. 1

    Start from what exists

    A map of applications, flows and contracts, built with your teams from what actually runs.

  2. 2

    Set out scenarios

    Two or three possible paths, each with its costs, risks and dependencies written down.

  3. 3

    Plan in stages

    Stable intermediate states that each deliver something, rather than a big-bang switch.

  4. 4

    Support decisions

    Short, enforceable architecture principles that committees use to decide.

Skills we bring

  • IT estate assessment and application mapping
  • Functional, application and technical target architecture
  • IT master plan and transformation roadmap
  • Feasibility studies, solution selection and technical due diligence
  • Architecture governance: principles, board, repositories

Typical deliverables

  • As-is mapping and analysis
  • Target architecture and compared scenarios
  • Staged roadmap
  • Decision papers

What you gain

  • Investment decisions tied to a shared target
  • A roadmap leadership can follow and explain
  • Fewer redundant applications to maintain over time
