We bring a range of technology capabilities that help our clients address four key business situations:

Business Technology Strategy: Technology helps companies transform themselves and grow their business. Partnering with our clients who are embarking on major growth or change that is heavily technology dependent, we identify the optimal future state of the technology architecture, then align this architecture with the business requirements, and jointly develop an implementation blueprint.

Technology Due Diligence: Technology-related synergies are key to successful mergers, acquisitions, divestitures and separations, but too often they are overlooked early in the deal. We partner with companies to plan and manage the changes in their systems to accommodate changes in the possible new business structure.

Solution Architecture Effectiveness: We work closely with clients to maximize the business results from major technology initiatives, including turnaround programs. We evaluate the case for investment, set up projects for success—or place current projects on the right track—to ensure they capture value when implementing new systems, architectures, and programs.

Enterprise Architecture Design, Development, and Execution – Alignment of strategy, process, technology and data to drive business value while addressing complex cross-border regulatory and compliance requirements.

Cyber Security Proactive and Reactive Responses – Building on secure applications to proactively ensure the confidentiality, integrity and availability of enterprise systems and data while reducing ongoing operational costs.

Program and Project Management – All of our engagements include a program or a project manager depending on the type of engagement. Why? Program management is the essential link between strategy and implementation projects and as a vehicle for organizational change. It offers the means to manage groups of projects with a common business purpose in an integrated and effective way. It offers an understanding of business strategy and value realization, beyond multiple-project management.
