Architecture Evolution: Digital transformation and making better use of Data & AI.
Our Architecture Evolution service is about helping our Clients get ahead of changes, instead of reacting to them.
We work with our clients to identify potential future challenges and opportunities, then strategically evolve their digital architecture to address these foresights. This could involve exploring new digital strategies, reimagining business processes for greater efficiency and scalability, adopting next-generation technologies, and making better use of their Data and AI.
The goal is to ensure that our client's digital landscape not only meets current needs but is also ahead of the curve, setting them up for long-term success and sustainable growth.
We do this work in three phases:

Transformation Strategy
Transformation Strategy & Architecture
We work closely with our clients to create a technology plan that supports their business goals. We start by looking at where they are now, deciding on clear goals, finding the capabilities that need to be improved to match their business aims, and making sure everyone involved is on board. We use our expertise to convert ideas into practical, step-by-step plans that can be put into action.
Key outcomes of our service include:
Transformation Vision, Goals & Objectives
This deliverable outlines our Client's plan for change, what it aims to achieve, and the specific changes and targets. It's a roadmap showing where our Client wants to go, what success looks like, and how we'll measure progress.
Current State Analysis
We examine how things are right now, identifying what's working well and what's not. It's a detailed look at our Client's current situation to understand our starting point for making improvements.
Target Architecture
We describe the ideal setup for our Clients to achieve, detailing the technology, systems, components, and structure they will need in place. It's their blueprint for what they want their future to look like, and the approach to get there.

Data Management
Data Management, Analytics & Integration Architecture
Our Data Management is a Client’s specific blueprint for taking care of their business’s data from start to finish. Our goal is to make sure their data fits perfectly with what their company wants to achieve, helping them make gooddecisions along the way.
We help make sure their data is collected, stored safely, processed quickly, and easy to get to when it is needed. We then implement the best tech for each job.
We also lay down the law (in a good way) on how data should move around and be handled in their organization. We set up clear rules, standards, and tips to keep our Client's data in line and make sure it’s working efficiently for their business.
With our governance hat on, we put in place policies and standards that keep an eye on how data is used and its journey throughout its life. We pick out data stewards to keep their data quality high and make sure they are ticking all the boxes for data privacy laws. This means they can trust their data and rely on it for day-to-day operations and use it reliably with AI.

Modernizing for Excellence: Journey to Operational Efficiency and Unified Processes
Our client, a globally recognized standard development, testing, and certification organization, undertook a significant modernization initiative to boost efficiency across various domains, including certification projects, sales, operations, quality, document management, billing, invoicing, and customer portals.
This initiative sought to unify and optimize the company's previously fragmented processes and systems across several modern Cloud SaaS platforms. The goal was to create a seamless operations environment and improve data quality across different functional areas.
This comprehensive transformation was driven by a strategic combination of enterprise architecture, program, and change management, tackling the integration of diverse systems and processes. A key element of success was promoting a collaborative culture between business and technology teams, ensuring the change was not merely technological but aligned with the organization's overall objectives.
The outcomes were transformative, with our Client achieving significant operational streamlining, enhanced efficiency, and better data governance. Through a holistic and collaborative approach, our Client demonstrated how organizations could effectively transform and streamline their digital operations.

Digital Transformation in Action: Streamlining the Order to Cash Process
Our Client, a leader in the energy services industry, initiated a transformation of its Order to Cash (OTC) process with a focus on automating invoicing and achieving seamless tracking from manufacturing to installation, aiming to enhance quality control and operational efficiency.
The company faced challenges such as the absence of real-time product tracking, inefficient contractor management, and a reliance on manual accounting and invoicing processes. To address these issues, Our Client adopted a digital technology strategy, utilizing low-code development and integration platforms like Mulesoft, Outsystems, Auth0, Azure, and SharePoint. This enabled the integration of key business applications—Manufacturing ERP, CRM, and Financial ERP—improving data accessibility and flow. The strategy also included automating work order management and invoicing, implementing real-time quality monitoring, and introducing customer portals for enhanced project visibility.
The transformation significantly streamlined Our Client's OTC process, leading to enhanced visibility and control over the product lifecycle, reduced installation errors through real-time analytics, and improved work order efficiency with automated data capture. This transformation not only achieved operational efficiency and elevated customer satisfaction but also set a new industry standard.
