Digital architecture survey

IT architecture survey

What is an IT Architecture survey?

Our IT Architecture survey aims to establish and develop a digitialization roadmap to rationalize and modernize the IT tools and solutions used and operated by your company. We also prepare a proposal on how to implement these changes.

What problem does it answer?

The survey will answer the questions of costs, where there are still manual stages or potentially unjustified duplication of tools in IT support of specific activities.

What are the main steps?

The first step is to assess the organisation's IT application inventory, from which a map is created showing the departments using the tools, the number of users, interfaces, and if data is available, the additional dependencies, infrastructure requirements and costs of it.

The application map visually shows the opportunities for innovation, system replacement, rationalization, knowledge/resource management and of course cost reduction.

Based on these potentials, a "digitalization roadmap" is drawn up, which contains the necessary steps in the order of priority defined by the company's management, together with estimates of time, human and system resources.

We can support the execution of the steps with high-quality architect resources.

What results can we expect?

Expected results include reduction of IT OPEX costs, modernization, asset retirement or consolidation (duplication management), elimination of manual phases, choice of application sourcing and infrastructure (cloud) solutions, targeted transformation of organizational capabilities.

TYPICAL QUESTIONS

What are the benefits of an app map?

Visualization helps to identify organizational, user and system-level dependencies and duplications easily.

Why is it a problem if we use different tools for the same purpose in different departments?

Primarily, data quality, collaboration and data governance problems can arise if different departments use varying supporting tools from diverse sources or with different query tools.
