Business Technology Solutions

Architecture Modernization starts with making sense of your current enterprise applications and systems, mapping them to the business capabilities and business processes that they support, and designing the future state of the architecture with a technology strategy in mind that aligns with business goals and objectives. Sounds simple enough, right?

Business Process and Workflow Automation entails a deep understanding of the structures and flows of an organization, as well as the end-to-end steps required to create customer value. Before any process can be automated, it must first be optimized. Before any process can be optimized, it must first be understood.

Delivery Process Optimization gets to the heart of why your technology organization struggles to release system and application changes in a consistent, repeatable and transparent manner, then focuses on designing and implementing effective and scalable service delivery processes that drive quality, predictability, and ongoing improvement.

Enterprise AI Preparedness in 2024 will unfortunately have more to do with parsing hype cycles and understanding where the opportunities to infuse Artificial Intelligence into the enterpirse actually exist, than implementing long-term solutions that are still waiting to emerge.

Enterprise Solution Design is about addressing business challenges with thoughtful technology solutions that take into account the impact on the organization as a whole. Modern enterprises are incredibly complex socio-technical systems, resulting in fragmentation, constraints, and process friction that emerge from systemic inefficiencies and the attempts to resolve them over time.

Merger and Acquisition Integration involves evaluating and analyzing the tools, platforms, and systems in use by a target entity, and making sense of the processes and flows underlying the operations of the acquired organization.

SaaS Application Rationalization is the process of identifying, evaluating, consolidating, and optimizing the use of cloud-based Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) tools and systems in use throughout an organization.

Roadmapping is a way to align technology with business strategy and objectives through thoughtful planning that takes into account the short-term and long-term goals of the organization.

Technical Debt Reduction assumes that you have technical debt to begin with. Do you? How do you know? Before we talk about how to approach technical debt, let's make sure we're aligned on what technical debt is, and what it is not. Simply having issues with redundancy, obsolescence, suboptimal design, performance degradation, neglected maintenance, or unmanaged complexity do not necessarily mean you are experiencing technical debt.

Project Rescue could mean many things, but the overarching objective is to get a stalled initiative back on the right path regardless of its history or how much has already been spent on it. Projects can go off the rails at any time for any number of reasons, but if there is business value that can be captured, the only thing that matters is how things move forward from that point.

In Residence and Board Advisory are options for bolting on my knowledge and expertise to your organization as the go-to source for enterprise architecture and technology strategy guidance.

Team Building and Interim Leadership are options for applying my decades of team leadership to design the technology organization your enterprise needs.
