IT is the driving force behind digital transformation. It provides your company with the technological foundations on which you can drive digital innovation, optimize customer experience and automate your business processes.
Technology Adoption & Integration
Technology Adoption: How much technological debt do you have?
Many companies have a significant innovation backlog in IT - this is known as technology debt. The decision to replace legacy systems is often not made quickly enough from the perspective of management or users. The existing solutions no longer meet the requirements in terms of functionality, processing speed and data processing. Everyone is dissatisfied.
At the same time, many companies lack transparency about their existing IT infrastructure, the technical possibilities and limitations of new technology and its compatibility and interoperability with other IT systems. The resulting credo can be summarized as follows: "Never change a running system." Declining IT budgets also act as a brake on innovation and reinforce reluctance to respond directly to every request for technical innovation. In contrast, the digital transformation is setting new standards in terms of the speed, but also the care with which companies must select and introduce technologies, be it to keep up with the competition or to meet the expectations of customers and employees.

Technology Integration: Do your expectations match reality?
When it comes to integrating new technologies into the existing IT infrastructure, then “time is money”. But in many companies there is a clear gap between aspiration and reality. They want to have the new application available as quickly as possible, preferably the day before yesterday. And despite forward-looking planning, it quickly becomes clear during the course of the project that the installation of the application or the integration of the cloud service can only be implemented with considerable delays due to limited personnel resources.
IT has to solve problems again, not least due to deficits in the legacy systems. Security checks are also necessary before going live and user training still needs to be prepared.

Our strategic consulting services for technology adoption and integration
Assessment of cloud readiness
Our joint approach:
You have decided to move to the cloud, but don't know how yet? There are many decisions to be made: 100% cloud? Or are there requirements that call for a hybrid solution? In the Cloud Readiness Workshop, we evaluate the maturity of your IT landscape and compare it with the strategic goals of cloud adoption.
We formulate an initial roadmap for a planned and secure transition to the cloud-including specific tasks and recommendations for action.
Your benefits:
- Transparency regarding your company's cloud readiness
- Knowledge transfer and best practices
- Specific recommendations for preparing for a cloud migration with prioritized tasks
Identify and evaluate technological debt
Our joint approach:
Companies use (waste) over 40 percent of their annual IT budget solely on maintaining legacy systems. This not only drains a company's resources, it also severely limits its ability to innovate. In the workshop, we identify the essential IT systems along your value chain and quantify your technological debt using various parameters, such as compliance with current security requirements, operational stability, and change backlog.
Your benefits:
- Transparency regarding the technological debt of your core systems
- Clear guidance for setting an achievable target value for technological debt for your company
- Assessment of the benefits of an improved debt value
Roadmap Design: Legacy Modernization – “How to”
Our joint approach:
Legacy systems exist for a reason. Over the years, these solutions have been integrated into more and more business-critical processes, continuously expanded in terms of functionality, and extensively networked with other technologies. Introducing a completely new solution without negatively impacting regular operations or technically modernizing the legacy system—even if only selectively—requires thorough preparation and planning.
In our roadmap workshop, our experts will share selected methodological knowledge and best practices with you, enabling you to derive a roadmap for modernizing your legacy systems that is tailored to your needs.
Your benefits:
- Methodological knowledge and best practices for legacy modernization
- Blueprint for preparing and planning a legacy modernization
- Exemplary roadmap for modernizing a legacy system
Assessment: Application rationalization
Our joint approach:
Business applications - whether on-premises solutions or cloud services—support daily work and enable informed decisions in your company. And every application should fully fulfill its defined purpose. But is that really the case? Today's companies rely on a multitude of different applications and quickly lose track of them all. In our application rationalization workshop, we use various practical examples and best practices to show you how you can optimize your investments in your application landscape.
Your benefits:
- Identification and deactivation of unused applications
- Elimination of applications with redundant functionality
- Validation of the value of an application investment
- Alignment of the application portfolio with your business goals
Fit-gap assessment of IT systems
Our joint approach:
As part of our fit-gap assessment, we determine your core technologies (hardware, software, services) and evaluate their fundamental suitability for supporting your business processes.
We identify potentially unused functions or untapped performance reserves in your existing IT landscape and also identify any missing solutions.
Your benefits:
- Fit gaps in the current IT landscape with an assessment of opportunities, e.g., digitization potential in processes, and risks, e.g., idle costs for unused technologies
- Measures to optimize the technology stack
- Support for the demand and portfolio management process
