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.
An international courier service

Solution
Peru worked closely with the business and IT teams to:
Identify key business drivers and build a governance structure around end-to-end IT design
Produce a prioritised pipeline of work
Define application, data and infrastructure architecture blueprints to support business change
Highlight “hot spots” within core systems to improve stability and capacity
Evaluate packaged applications, cloud services and in-house solutions
Outcome
Improved systems stability and reduced incidents and problems
- Signed off architecture blueprints for Road Networks, HR, Fashion and procurement divisions
- Ability to centralise and outsource some non-value add business processes

Value
Reduced cost of change
Robust costings and timescales for all projects
