A Future-Proof IT Strategy & Architecture

How do you prepare your IT landscape for the digital future? Emixa’s IT strategy consultants are here to help. We help you choose a future-proof IT architecture that aligns with your business strategy - flexible and scalable.

IT Strategy & Architecture

Our Step-by-Step Approach

Whatever your reason for reviewing your IT strategy and architecture - an outdated IT landscape, cost-saving objectives, or an ambitious growth strategy – our consultants guide you in making the right choices. We ensure your IT landscape meets today’s needs while being ready for the future, following a structured approach. 

1
Understand your strategy & ambitions

What is your organisation’s strategy? That is always our starting point. We analyse strategy, business processes, organisational needs, and required system support as a whole. If you’re looking to cut costs after a rapid growth period, your needs will differ from those of a company replacing legacy systems. 

2
Define your requirements

Together, we map out the functionalities you require. At the same time, we establish the IT requirements – flexibility, integration, privacy, security, cost levels, etc. Regardless of your situation, a modern IT architecture is always flexible and scalable.

3
Design the IT architecture

Based on the gathered information, we piece together the puzzle. What is the most suitable IT architecture for your situation? We have extensive knowledge of the IT solutions market, from pragmatic low-code solutions to cloud-based ERP systems and from comprehensive Data Lakehouses to specialised PLM solutions. We also know industry-specific solutions. Based on your requirements and preferences, we compile a well-researched shortlist of potential solutions.

4
Select the right tools

We initiate an IT selection process together with your team. This can be a quick and pragmatic process or an extensive software selection project. Whatever is needed. Together, we choose the right IT solution(s). If necessary, we also critically assess aspects like contract types, cost levels, and licence management. 

5
Prepare for implementation

Finally, we develop an implementation plan, providing a clear roadmap for implementation. Of course, we are also available to guide the implementation phase. Our shared goal? To help you realise your business strategy with a future-proof IT landscape.

Are you about to make choices in your IT architecture? We’re here for you.

What is IT strategy and architecture?

A: IT strategy and architecture involve designing your IT landscape to support your business strategy and goals. We go beyond technology, considering the alignment between systems, processes, and organisation. A strong IT strategy enables you to adapt flexibly to changes, control costs, and drive innovation. The strategy sets the direction, while the architecture forms the backbone of your IT landscape.

Why is an IT strategy so important?

A: Many organisations struggle with an outdated IT landscape that hinders innovation. This leads to high costs due to inefficiencies and the complexity of maintaining legacy systems. It also obstructs innovation, as new technologies become difficult to implement and integrate. Additionally, outdated infrastructure poses security risks and reduces overall system oversight.

Is my current IT landscape future-proof?

A: Based on organisational needs and requirements, as well as the customer journey, Emixa closely examines the current IT landscape to determine whether or not improvements need to be made.

Which software solutions are best suited to our business?

A: It depends! Feedback from within the organisation is an important part of the process. Based on the full set of requirements and preferences, we can quickly establish a substantiated "shortlist" of possible solutions for any necessary innovations.

How does IT architecture contribute to streamlining our business?

A: In a variety of different ways, for example by optimising workflows and information flows.

What is the relationship between IT architecture and digital transformation?

A: A suitable IT architecture forms the basis for a successful digital transformation.
