Multi platform assessment to identify synergies and operational risks
Customer situation
- Several business units developed software solutions on their own
- Parallel developments and duplicate environment bind people for maintenance and increase especially costs of operations
- To optimize cost structures, operations shall be bundled in one hand
Challenge
- 7 platforms need to be assessed
- 4 months before the operational handover shall take place
- Challenges and special characteristics of all platforms are widely unknown
- Documentation and operational handbooks have to be assessed and unified
- Development and operations are partly managed by third parties
- High pressure to continue developments does not allow time to allow a sound handover
EACG solution approach
- Provide a documentation kit to allow a common description of the platforms and their key characteristics
- Collect and assess all existing materials and documentation
- Prepare and conduct interviews with dedicated stakeholders of each solution
- Provide detailed interview documentation and review together with inetrviewee
- Provide summary containing operational risks and potential synergies
Custumer benefit
„We have had the challenge to take operational responsibility of 7 large web platforms within a short period of time. EACG supported us with a sound analysis, where they impressed with a structured but pragmatic and focused approach. The results layed the foundation for a new architecture awareness”
