Enabling our client to maximise the business value from IT

Challenge

This retailer was looking for a new finance system and during initial discussions we jointly identified the need for a fundamental review of their IT landscape to understand how IT delivered value and how future investment in IT should be approached

Approach

  • Our approach consisted of a small multi-disciplinary team with specialisms in architecture, change and data focused on a comprehensive evaluation of the IT environment with specific focus on the proprietary retail operations system.
  • We identified obstacles, risks, and issues to be overcome how they delivered business and IT change.
  • We produced a target architecture and roadmap that was aligned to the clients’ strategic priorities.
  • By creating a holistic IT architecture blueprint, we have been able to identify other areas which can be strengthened and improved.
  • We developed an action plan to transition to the target state with focus on quick wins and creating momentum.

Outcome

  • Clear understanding of future needs and map of prioritised business objectives to be underpinned by technology.
  • An immediate uplift in business value and business agility.
  • The new architecture blueprint as identified a series of opportunities which are now in the roadmap.
  • Our client is now better equipped to manage IT risk.
