Services / Strategy & Architecture
Architecture, due diligence and project leadership
Many messaging projects fail for lack of a sound basis for decisions, rarely because of the technology. We develop target architectures for cloud, hybrid and identity, assess risks and take on overall technical responsibility when business, IT and external service providers have to work together.
- Target architecture
- Due diligence
- M&A
- Carve-out
- Governance
- RFP/RFI
- Operational handover
Strategic consulting
Target architectures Cloud, hybrid, Microsoft 365 and identity: sound target pictures with architecture principles, standards and a governance model.
Technical due diligence Architecture reviews before transactions and carve-outs, making risks in messaging and identity visible.
Decision papers Make platform, licensing and operating models comparable; papers for executive management and the board.
Tenders Solution design and technical concepts for public and private tenders (RFP/RFI).
Project leadership
- 1 Overall technical responsibility End to end in complex migrations, from strategy to implementation.
- 2 Interface Between business, IT and external service providers; decision papers for management.
- 3 Escalation and crisis management Calm leadership in critical project phases, with clear priorities.
- 4 Operational handover Transition to the operations organisation with documentation and team enablement.
Typical scenarios
Gateway re-routing, carve-outs, tenant-to-tenant migrations, hybrid coexistence, parallel operation and post-merger integrations. These are the projects where a normal mailbox move is not enough.
