We translate business goals into the right system landscape

Enterprise Architecture

 

Would you like to implement new business requirements with well-aligned applications, data and platforms?

We support you to align your IT/OT architecture optimally with your company’s strategic capabilities by highlighting the benefits and risks of system decisions early on. In particular, when it comes to new AI solutions, this allows us to reduce complexity from the very beginning and optimally balance architecture, operating costs, and security.

We identify dependencies and redundancies in your application portfolio, so that you can make well-founded architecture decisions within a broader context. You receive target architectures, structured data products and designs for reusable platform components for automation and AI. We thereby create a common framework for prioritising investments and developing your system landscape in a targeted way. 

Value-driven IT investment
You receive a prioritisation of your IT investments aligned with your strategic core capabilities. We help you reduce wasted spend and invest capital where it can increase your business value.

IT impact assessment
We establish procedures to validate the impact of your system decisions early. This gives you a basis for identifying potential redundancies before implementation and taking targeted steps to avoid unplanned follow-on costs.

Application portfolio management
We plan integrated applications and align your application portfolio with your business model and growth targets. You’ll gain a strong foundation, enabling you to use it as a catalyst for your development rather than a bottleneck to growth.

System design
You receive a design for new system solutions that connects your strategic goals with operational requirements. We make business value the guiding principle right from the planning phase.

Architecture-based solution design
You receive an architecturally well-founded solution design for your system landscape. We identify costly customisation pitfalls and inefficient siloed solutions at the planning stage, so that you can avoid unnecessary modifications in the future.

Architecture support
You receive support for your system initiative from the first requirement through to integration into your existing landscape. Throughout the implementation process, we ensure that business requirements and architectural design remain aligned.

Data architecture
You gain a data architecture that leverages data as a strategic asset for scalable growth. We focus on your business benefits to ensure that your data landscape supports your company’s growth.

Data products
We organize your data objects into reliable data products and integrate them in the architecture design. This gives you a strong foundation on which to can build further digital applications.

AI & automation readiness
You receive a data foundation which is prepared for automation and AI. We align the requirements of your planned applications closely with the data they need in operation.

Data governance
We establish clear data ownership and make your data management measurable and securely controllable. This enables you to manage and further develop data as a long term corporate asset.

AI platform
You receive a multi-layered AI transport infrastructure: from the API and agent layer through the tool stack to the data lake. This creates a platform on which your use cases can scale.

AI platform components
We design features such as speech-to-text as reusable building blocks. This allows you to use these capabilities in further use cases without writing new code, avoiding duplicate development and technical debt.

AI architecture governance
We embed AI principles in your architecture and document design decisions transparently. This strengthens governance, auditability and long-term control, making it easier to further develop your AI landscape on a sound basis.

Scalable AI architecture
To expand your AI landscape, we develop shared architectural foundations and reusable building blocks. This gives you a strategic foundation for implementing additional use cases faster and with less effort.
