IT Strategy & Advisory
IT strategy & master plan
Define what the information system has to become in order to carry the organisation's strategy — and the realistic path to get there.
EN UNE PHRASE
A target, a trajectory, trade-offs that hold.
THE PROBLEM
The situations that bring us in
- 01
The project portfolio keeps growing with no shared target and no basis for trade-offs.
- 02
The application estate was built by successive additions, with no overall view.
- 03
IT investments are hard to justify to senior management.
- 04
Dependencies between workstreams are discovered only when they are launched.
- 01THE PROBLEM
An inherited information system, where nobody can say whether it carries the five-year strategy or holds it back.
- 02WHAT AXENEO DOES
Factual diagnosis of the system and the processes, definition of a target architecture, assessment of transformation scenarios and sequencing into budgeted waves.
- 03THE RESULT
A master plan that stands up to scrutiny: a documented target, a sequenced trajectory and a decision file usable at board level.
What we do
What we produce
- Application, functional and data flow mapping
- Diagnosis of the business processes and of the operational friction
- Target functional and technical architecture
- Architecture principles and construction rules for the information system
- Multi-year trajectory, waves, prerequisites and indicative budget
- Decision file and supporting material for management
The IT Strategy & Advisory method
This domain sits within the pillar’s overall method.
- 01
Understand
Interviews with the business and with IT, review of the application estate, analysis of processes and of what actually irritates people. We start from what happens, not from what is documented.
- 02
Make it objective
Gaps, dependencies, costs, risks. Scenarios are worked through with their organisational implications, not only the technical ones.
- 03
Decide
Options are put to decision-makers with what they really imply. A decision that has not been taken is identified as such and raised to the level where it can be.
- 04
Sequence
A trajectory in waves, with verifiable milestones, explicit prerequisites and a workload compatible with what the teams can actually absorb.
- 05
Steer
Governance, bodies and indicators put in place. The setup is designed to be sustainable by the teams once we have gone.
USE CASES
Where we step in
Rebuilding a legacy system
Ageing custom applications, scarce skills, rising maintenance costs: put figures on the risk and build a modernisation trajectory in stages.
Growth and structuring
An organisation growing fast needs an application foundation able to absorb new entities, new countries or new activities.
