Rethinking IT management - it worked before (somehow)?

  • The ability to shape ongoing technological change has become an essential component of competitiveness in all industries and business sectors, determining economic success and failure

  • The up-to-dateness and adaptability of the IT infrastructure and the application systems integrated into it play a decisive role in ensuring continuous and reliable IT operations

  • CORE has comprehensive methods, tools and frameworks for the technical analysis and evaluation of the future and adaptability of existing IT systems and the design of IT target architectures that meet requirements

Market situation in Architecture and Technology Management

In business transactions, companies are exposed to professional, technological, political, regulatory or even legal change drivers. Resulting changes in the business setup often correspond to changes in the IT systems. In order to be able to handle these in a cost-efficient and operationally stable manner, changes in the IT architectural designs are indispensable.
High-quality planning in terms of alignment with an IT target architecture and active management of technical debts reduces risks in the implementation and helps to coordinate the scope of change and align it with external expectations. A frequent goal of our activities in connection with IT architecture changes is the avoidance of increasing complexity as well as the introduction of new, efficient technology components in order to be able to leverage synergies from technology development.

 

How we approach challenges

 

Due to technological sedimentation, existing IT systems are not designed to be changed with low effort and operational stability. Therefore, the expertise of our IT architects helps to reduce associated risks and to exploit efficiencies with the help of proven frameworks. 
CORE analyses technology impacts based on empirical evidence and market insights, manages technology transformations and evaluates technology-driven decisions and strategies. As an inherent part of forward-looking technology management, topics such as reviewing and establishing modern technology lifecycle processes, assessing and defining target architecture designs, and restructuring and enabling IT governance are core components of the CORE service portfolio and support offering.
