Modernize core technology
Helping organizations solve challenges around digital platforms, enterprise and IT architecture, and IT modernization to drive their technology transformation
What we do
Architecture and IT assessment
Our holistic IT diagnostic works to identify the status quo across all important IT areas to prepare for a full transformation.
Platform transformation and enterprise architecture
We help organizations establish themselves as “platform companies” and work to establish them in the market and in the industry ecosystem.
IT modernization and transformation
We work to design target IT architectures, develop the corresponding transformation program and roadmap, and ensure the organization’s IT is ready for digital.
Core-system renewal
We leverage a standardized approach and proven methodologies that span core-system diagnostic and strategy, vendor selection and contracting, and transformation implementation and implementation approach (for example, “brownfield renovated” S4/HANA approach, proven agile ERP methodology).
Data architecture
We work to design a digital data architecture based on an understanding of technological concepts such as data lakes, streaming analytics, and the implications these changes will have on IT.
IT efficiency and simplification
We help clients rationalize their technology stack’s portfolio and application inventory to reduce complexity, streamline costs, and increase business agility. We have a proven value assurance approach that optimizes digital investments by reducing business risk, increasing business value, and accelerating pace of transformations and projects.
Enterprise architecture management
We have extensive expertise in designing and implementing enterprise architecture management (EAM), covering organization and committees, processes and methods, and tools and artifacts.
IT merger management
We leverage our deep expertise across industries, as well as numerous tools and playbooks, to ensure the IT aspects of mergers are rigorously executed and that the synergies are captured through IT.
