SOLUTION DESIGN & ARCHITECTURE (SD&A)
An in-depth IT scoping and review process that bridges the gap between your current IT environments, technologies, and your business needs in order to deliver maximum return-on-investment and determine the steps required in order to get there.
The SD&A process especially focuses on understanding, capturing and illustrating return-on-investment and providing confirmation that the project is financially viable.
The SD&A deliverables can be used to justify stakeholder endorsement, and also become a working reference document throughout architecture deployment.
What are the benefits of a Solution Design, and Architecture review?
By undergoing a SD&A review we can ensure that your IT project is scoped correctly to vendor and industry best practices. This is of paramount importance as it guarantees that best-of-breed and best fit technologies are implemented and aligned to your unique business processes, with a guaranteed list of return-on-investments.
- Delivery resource is supplied as and when required during implementation.
- Your project is delivered on time and within scope.
- Your business receives a better product.
- You have high chances of project success.
What does the review involve?
The SD&A review delivers a detailed โdeep diveโ technical solution including a detailed project plan covering all aspects of the project life cycle from build, testing and implementation. In conjunction with in-house employees it also delivers a well-defined holistic view of the IT project including a technical document, accurately outlined architecture and licensing issue resolutions.
The SD&A bridges the gap between what your business has, what your business needs and how your business is going to get there. It delivers insight and process at every step along the way to ensure the best possible solution is implemented at the best possible price.
Through our experience, we have found that companies who conduct an SD&A review prior to initiating their projects have a much higher likelihood of successfully implementing their project within the defined scope. On the other hand, companies who do not conduct such reviews are at a greater risk of experiencing project overruns, which often result in increased costs.
