Aligning systems architecture to deliver on strategic goals

Challenges:
1. Exceedingly high costs of maintaining the existing IT stack
2. Low reliability of troubleshooting and low robustness of existing IT systems, leading toa lack of confidence to deliver against strategic growth plans
3. Aggressive strategic growth projections in line with leadership expectations and expansionary agenda

Idea:
1. Analysis of the existing IT infrastructure
2. Audit of the existing systems architecture
3. Evaluation of the scalability of the overall enterprise architecture
4. Survey of opportunities for upgrading and optimizing the entire IT stack
5. Presentation of evaluated recommendations to client leadership for improving the achievement of strategic goals

Objective:
Evaluation and recommendation of solutions for optimizing enterprise architecture to better deliver on business strategic goals in the future.

Solution:
1. Transparency of the IT infrastructure and system architecture concerning strategic objectives
2. Estimation of the investment in the implementation measures at €35 million to upgrade the architecture to achieve strategic objectives
3. Proposals for IT optimization with savings in the range of tens of millions, with parallel upgrading of the architecture, dismantling, and phasing out of a large number of IT systems
4. Defined roadmap for massive cost savings in support and maintenance costs, release of resources, and resource capacity reduction within the organization
