Challenge
Historically, Peru’s client had delivered IT change to the business without a formal design process function, resulting in varying degrees of quality and over budget projects. The client needed help to provide cost-effective solutions across its IT change portfolio.
It turned to Peru to set up a Solution Architecture function to regain control over IT system design and project delivery.
