Consulting

Our enterprise business consulting helps you with strategic planning and big picture advice. 

We often work with our clients at a point when they want to step back and consider their overall enterprise and IT planning. Typically, our consulting engagements are shorter in duration with a fixed scope and specific outputs. Our advice is designed to help you set a vision and direction for how your technology can help deliver the business outcomes you need.  

  • We help you work out how to make strategic use of technology by aligning IT initiatives to your specific business objectives and by optimising technology investments to ensure efficient and secure operations.  

    Our technology advisory skills and knowledge will identify opportunities to enhance efficiency, drive competitive advantage and support your digital transformation, 

    Taking an enterprise architecture perspective, we consider how your IT investments both meet current needs and support future business ambitions. 

  • We bring an independent, expert view on how well a system aligns with established technology best practice and how it meets your specific business needs.  

    Our structured evaluation covers quality, performance, security, and effectiveness. It involves validating functionality, performance, security, code quality, support and maintenance, as well as user experience. All with the aim of identifying strengths, weaknesses, and areas for improvement.  

  • By looking at specific requirements and priorities, we help customers make informed decisions about technology and their options. Key criteria include vendor capabilities, and roadmaps, extensibility, local support, usability, cost-effectiveness, and alignment to a customer's business model.  

  • We analyse how organisation executes its business model and how it structures its capabilities. This covers people, process, technology, and information flow and usage to create a clear picture of how work gets done and where there are gaps, issues, and inefficiencies, 

    These models help you understand potential for improvements or how a planned change might require a change or upskilling in your capabilities. 

  • Our experience shows us that a well-designed architecture practice can improve the consistency, quality and coherence of your IT systems.  

    We provide you with a framework and methodology for managing your IT architecture to ensure best practice, knowledge sharing and continuous improvement.  

    The greatest benefits occur when architecture becomes embedded into your operational practices with collaboration and open communication across a wide range of stakeholders. We can extend this to include the configuration and support of software applications designed specifically to support the effective practice of Enterprise Architecture within your organisation.
