Frequently Asked Questions
How is technology strategy different from IT strategy?
Technology strategy focuses on how technology enables business outcomes and competitive advantage. IT strategy focuses on managing IT operations and infrastructure. We focus on the former - using technology as a strategic business enabler.
Do we need an enterprise architect or a consultant?
Enterprise architects manage ongoing architecture. Consultants provide independent expertise for major decisions, transformations, or when you lack internal architecture capabilities. We can also help establish internal architecture practices.
Can you help us choose between different technology vendors?
Yes, vendor selection is a key service. We create evaluation criteria, assess vendors objectively, conduct demos and POCs, evaluate total cost of ownership, and provide recommendations based on your specific requirements.
What if our current technology is outdated?
We're experts in modernization. We assess the current state, prioritize what needs immediate attention vs what can wait, design migration paths, minimize business disruption, and create practical roadmaps for systematic modernization.
How do you balance innovation with stability?
We use a portfolio approach: core systems need stability and proven technology, while innovation areas can use cutting-edge tech. We help you make appropriate technology choices for each use case based on risk, criticality, and business value.
Can you help with cloud migration strategy?
Absolutely. We help with cloud strategy (which cloud provider, which workloads to migrate), application assessment, cost analysis, migration planning, and hybrid/multi-cloud architectures for optimal flexibility.
