Ixxus Architecture Review
The issues you may be facing
It may make a lot of sense for you to invest in a new enterprise content management system, or an enterprise search application, a collaboration tool, a data warehouse, or a new email exchange, the list goes on. However, more often than not, inefficiencies and problems are not wholly down to poorly conceived or configured IT products. Just replacing a system may not solve the problem. There may be a simpler or more cost effective way of getting to your goals.
- Do you feel your information systems and processes are not matching your expectations or your company’s requirements/goals?
- Do you have a feeling that your IT systems are slowing the company down?
- Does it seem that your competitors are “fleeter of foot” when it comes to producing new products or in sales and marketing to new customers?
- Are you receiving conflicting advice as to what needs sorting out first regarding your internal IT spend and external web presence ?
Introducing the Information Architecture Review
Ixxus has a wealth of experience as a leading information management systems integration company in the UK. We have learned over the years that the best software in world will still fail if the environment and architecture in the prospective company is not right. Zooming out and reviewing the whole environment as a first step has proved invaluable many times over in ensuring that an efficient, successful roadmap of investment and improvement is commenced from day one.
We are experts in the design of enterprise information architectures. We also know that the days of long, expensive consulting engagements that span weeks are a luxury that are typically not affordable in today’s economic climate.
Therefore we have designed a comprehensive, yet compact, Information Architecture Review that will ensure you invest wisely, and in the right areas, bringing long term efficiency and productivity gains to your business.
A senior solution architect from Ixxus will carry out an intensive 5 day on site audit; the primary deliverables from this are to,
- carry out a complete review of your key IT systems and processes
- interview the primary stakeholders including, as appropriate, members of your IT, sales, marketing, product and senior management teams to gain an understanding of their needs
- audit existing systems and processes
- recommend target system architecture and processes to resolve the primary issues identified by the review
- produce a set of suggested steps that will evolve your systems and processes towards the recommended target while supporting your planned business objectives
