Services / Technology & Information

Technology & Information

We design your technology architecture and manage its evolution to align it with your goals. We safeguard business continuity with advanced information security services and recovery plans.

IT Strategy and Governance

  • Master plans and capacity management
  • Governance frameworks and Security Management Systems
  • Software and hardware platform recommendations

Architecture and Platforms

  • Scalable technology architectures
  • Hybrid cloud migration and management
  • Security by Design

Cybersecurity and Resilience

  • Gap analysis and penetration testing (ethical hacking)
  • Disaster recovery plans
  • Cybersecurity training

Methodology

How we actually decide where to invest in technology.

A framework built on capabilities, proven in real projects that optimize technology investment.

Framework built on capabilities

It separates what you need to strengthen from what you only need to keep running.

01

Mandate

The starting point that guides everything else.

02

Strategic imperatives

The priorities that follow from the mandate.

03

Strategy and capabilities

We identify the critical and differentiating capabilities, and decide how to compete.

04

Operating model and execution

Structure, processes and systems to execute the strategy.

05

Culture

The foundation that sustains execution.

Three categories: invest, match or compress, depending on the value of each line of spend.

Invest Differentiating capabilities Reinforced and funded by the improvements in the cost structure.
Match Table stakes Brought in line with the industry benchmark, without affecting service levels.
Compress Keep Lights On Price benchmarked aggressively, with the spend optimized.

15%

In our experience, this is where technology savings usually start to show, without affecting service levels.

Diagnostic

Diagnostic questions, investment areas and the business case.

Diagnostic questions
Strategic sourcing, demand management, application operations, infrastructure management.
Investment areas analyzed
Talent, IT infrastructure, security, software and licensing, systems and engineering.
Business case
We compare infrastructure, operating and migration costs, on premise versus cloud, with numbers of our own.

Execution plan

Cloud migration in 3 phases, an evaluation matrix and a schedule of 4 workshops.

Cloud migration in 3 phases

Phase 1 of 3

Analysis and prioritization
  • Determining the key applications
  • Analyzing migration feasibility
  • Identifying requirements and challenges

Phase 2 of 3

Migration plan
  • Designing the landing zone
  • Estimating the tasks
  • Planning the migration of workloads and templates

Phase 3 of 3

Optimization
  • Preparing applications for the cloud
  • Designing the hybrid architecture
  • Planning the transformation of services

Evaluation matrix for technology options

Initial set of technology options
