Step 4

Step 1: Imagine
As with any programme of change, we begin by getting a deep understanding of your business ambitions as well as the driving motivation behind assessing your systems architecture.
Working with leaders at your business, we will guide a workshop to imagine “the art of the possible”. The primary aim of this is to step away from where you are now and to define an ideal state where your technology is lean, robust, scalable and is a key driver of said business ambitions.
Step 2: Review
Whether it is an assessment of your ERP and core finance systems landscape or your broader technology, processes and data architecture, we conduct interviews with all stakeholders in order to understand the key question:
Does your current enterprise architecture support your business goals?
Alongside your finance and IT team, our consultants will review each system assessing:
- Total cost of ownership (i.e. How much do we spend on the technology itself and the time it costs to maintain it)
- The benefits and goals
- The challenges and pain points
- Scalability of your systems.
The outcome is clarity on where your existing systems are driving or hindering business growth.
Step 3: Design
Reviewing your goals and current systems, our consultants will then use their expertise to design an enterprise architecture that will enable your business to reach those goals, taking into account:
- Investment level
- Quality of service
- Scalability
- Flexibility
- Functionality
- Urgency.
This will sit alongside a clear roadmap of initiatives for how to implement your desired state on a technology-by-technology basis.
Every change initiative will be accompanied by a detailed guide on how to implement the new technology or process in the most risk-free and cost-effective manner.
Step 4: Execute
Once the roadmap has been agreed, our consultants can help you get to your target state. We can guide technology implementations to ensure that they meet the desired requirements.
