The role of IT has profoundly changed. Companies that can harness the power of digital can simplify the customer experience, introduce more value-added services, and leverage technology to constantly optimize their own processes. For an organization to transform into a technology company, it needs a fundamental shift in its core IT capabilities.
However, this shift comes with its challenges. Organizations need to know how to modernize legacy architecture leveraging modern technology; determine the right platforms and architecture to develop, deploy, run, and manage digital innovation at scale; and enable their business as opposed to changing their technology.
One of the core challenges for established organizations is the integration of the inevitable patchwork of systems, which typically fails to deliver the material results and added value that the CEO intends. The need to rapidly add new capabilities further increases the complexity of IT in large enterprises, which leads to overwhelming maintenance and change costs, as well as drastically slowed response times.
As organizations strive to compete with digital natives, we can help them design and deliver platforms (including digital platforms, IoT, ERP, and core systems) and develop digital-ready architectures (such as new architectures or evolving legacy IT).
Our approach emphasizes continual change and modular design of business capabilities as well as the technologies and data behind them. This shift to a modular perpetual-evolution model results in accelerated time-to-market and scalability, a reduction in IT cost and complexity, faster product development cycles, and an improved alignment between IT and the business at large.
