From a challenge to an informed choice

IT strategy & roadmap

Decide where you want to go and which steps come first.

Which steps will bring us closer to our business goals?

We translate your business goals into a direction for your IT. Which initiatives are needed? What can wait? And which dependencies determine the sequence? Together, we create a plan that fits your organisation and available resources.

Possible deliverables · tailored to the assignment

  • A shared target vision.
  • An overview of initiatives and priorities.
  • A phased roadmap.
  • Insight into dependencies and decision points.

Software & vendor selection

Choose software and partners based on the way you work.

Which software and partner fit the way we work?

We map your processes and requirements and help compare solutions. We consider functionality, integrations, data, costs, maintenance and the freedom to change later.

ERP: enterprise resource planning · CRM: customer relationship management · PIM: product information management · MES: manufacturing execution system · WMS: warehouse management system.

Possible deliverables · tailored to the assignment

  • An overview of processes and requirements.
  • Selection criteria and a shortlist.
  • An evidence-based comparison.
  • A selection dossier and considerations for implementation.

Analysis & architecture

Understand where things get stuck and design a better way forward.

Where are the bottlenecks and how can we improve?

We examine your processes, applications and data flows together. This reveals where manual work, technical limitations and dependencies make change difficult. We then design a suitable solution direction.

Functional analysis clarifies what users need to be able to do, which rules apply and which information is needed.

Possible deliverables · tailored to the assignment

  • A process analysis.
  • A visual application and integration landscape.
  • An overview of bottlenecks and risks.
  • A functional or technical solution design.

Data strategy & governance

Establish agreements that make your data reliable and useful.

How do we make our data reliable and useful?

We examine which data you need, how it is used today and who is responsible for it. Together, we establish definitions, ownership and quality agreements and determine which improvements are needed.

Think defines the direction and agreements; Build can implement the technical setup.

Possible deliverables · tailored to the assignment

  • An overview of relevant data sources.
  • Shared definitions and responsibilities.
  • Agreements on data quality and access.
  • An improvement plan for data and governance.

Illustrative example

A roadmap with priorities

  1. First

    Clarify goals and dependencies

  2. Next

    Evaluate options and prepare a decision

    Decision point · the next step depends on the choice

  3. Later

    Deliver selected initiatives in phases

Sequence and timing depend on the assignment, priorities and dependencies.

From insight to the next step

  1. 01

    Understand

    We discuss your goals, stakeholders and the question you want to answer.

  2. 02

    Map

    We examine the relevant processes, systems, data and constraints.

  3. 03

    Evaluate

    We compare options and clarify consequences, dependencies and priorities.

  4. 04

    Set direction

    We translate choices into concrete agreements, a design or a roadmap.

  5. 05

    Support progress

    Where needed, we support delivery, keep everything aligned or remain involved as a strategic partner.

We tailor the scope, steps and deliverables to the assignment. A focused advisory question does not have to become a lengthy engagement.

The expertise you need, in a way that suits you

A clearly scoped Think project

A concrete question. An agreed result.

You want to make an informed software choice, have your architecture reviewed or develop a roadmap. We agree on the scope, approach and deliverables and work towards that result.

  • ERP, CRM, PIM, MES or WMS selection.
  • Process and functional analysis.
  • Architecture review or second opinion.
  • IT roadmap.
  • Data strategy and governance.

CIO as a Service through TaaS

Ongoing direction and a strategic point of contact.

Do you regularly need someone to keep business goals, IT investments and delivery aligned? Through Team as a Service, CIO as a Service can support your management and IT team.

CIO stands for Chief Information Officer: strategic support for the direction of your IT.

  • Keep the IT roadmap up to date.
  • Help evaluate investments and priorities.
  • Critically assess suppliers and proposals.
  • Keep projects aligned.
  • Follow up architecture, data and governance questions.
  • Prepare strategic decisions.

We tailor the role, involvement and responsibilities to your organisation. CIO as a Service is an optional way of working together, not a requirement for a Think project.

Discover Team as a Service

From an informed choice to a working solution

An analysis or roadmap needs to be useful to the people taking it forward. We clarify choices and principles so your own team, DX-Solutions or another delivery partner can build on them.

  1. Think

    Set direction and make informed choices.

  2. Build

    Deliver software, integrations and data platforms.

  3. Maintain

    Maintain and monitor the delivered solutions.

Team as a Service

Team as a Service is a way of working together that can support these areas, not a mandatory fourth project phase.
