A complex legacy IT landscape and technical debt

Are you confronted in your applications landscape with outdated programming languages and frameworks, a monolithic architecture, limited integration options, lack of scalability and/or inefficient and slow performance, in other words, a legacy tech landscape? Or are you facing the consequences of technical debt? This includes not only high maintenance and support costs, slow innovation, and skills shortages, but also growing cybersecurity risk, as outdated systems are harder to secure and more vulnerable to attack. You’re not alone. Many organizations face similar challenges.

IS YOUR ORGANIZATION BURDENED BY A COMPLEX LEGACY IT LANDSCAPE AND ESCALATING TECHNICAL DEBT?

Many organizations recognize that overcoming these barriers requires more than quick fixes. It takes a well-planned, transformative journey. Convert your complex legacy IT into a streamlined, secure, and future-proof digital infrastructure. ​

Our approach

Set the direction

Set the direction

We develop a common understanding by co-creating with representatives from your business and IT, ensuring buy-in from all relevant stakeholders​. In doing so, we combine data-based insights on your IT costs and IT staff while taking into account your unique characteristics, your competitive advantages and your business goals, which serve as important frameworks for our approach​. Recognizing that everything in your IT landscape is interconnected, we map the entire landscape to create a clear overview of opportunities and challenges.​

Design the solution

Design the solution

We recognize 7 strategies for phasing out legacy, ranging from simply removing or encapsulating legacy to completely redesigning (parts of) the IT landscape​. Based on these strategies, we develop a roadmap that includes a thorough investment analysis and an implementation strategy​. To ensure a strong fit with your business needs, we also propose appropriate technologies, solutions and (eligible) suppliers. 

Typical output​ 

  • Phase out roadmap for legacy systems​ 
  • Future proof tech and data landscape design​ 
  • Application rationalization roadmap​ 
  • Business Technology Organization design
Implement the change

Implement the change

We support decision-making and the realization of the intended implementation through hands-on project/program management and assurance based on a clear target architecture.​ From this foundation, we also select and contract fit-for-purpose solutions and service providers, while continuously supporting the implementation from both a business and IT alignment perspective.

Typical output​ 

  • Fit for purpose solutions and service providers selection & contracting​ 
  • (Rationalization) roadmap execution​
