Home/Services/Digital strategy and target architecture

Step 2 · Make the plan

Digital strategy and target architecture

Two lenses and one target architecture. We rethink without bias, respect what you have today, and build the bridge between the two.

Duration

10-12 weeks

Pricing model

Fixed price

You end up with

An adopted target architecture and roadmap where every decision has value, an owner and a sequence.

For you if you

Need to decide where to improve and where to leap. Face an ERP or platform change. Or have put AI on top of the old processes without the work changing.

Price and payment

Fixed price with five decision points. You can start with a 1-2 day clean sheet workshop for one value stream.

What it includes

01Input template, interviews and maturity for all business areas

02Clean sheet workshops per value stream: from the future backwards

03Diagnosis in eight steps from business drivers to systems: from today forward

04One decision per capability: keep, consolidate, replace, build or rethink

05Target architecture in six layers with architecture principles

06Roadmap in four waves, business cases and roles

Two lenses and a bridge

Lens 1

From the future backwards

If we built the company today with AI, agents and data products, how would it work? Start with the customer, no system names. Agents execute, people decide.

Lens 2

From today forward

What do we have, what works, and what blocks what we want? From business drivers to data and systems, an honest diagnosis, and day-to-day operations protected.

The bridge

Target architecture and roadmap

One decision per capability, target architecture in six layers and a roadmap in four waves. Bold where AI changes the work. Realistic where the existing works.

The target architecture in six layers

The core systems stay. Intelligence moves up into data products, domain services and agents.

Strategic themesThe architecture follows the business's strategic themes

Experience layerRole-based interfaces across channels: workspaces, customer portal, mobile, partners

Business capabilitiesDomain services execute, AI agents orchestrate

Access layer (MCP)One secure and auditable access point for agents and systems

Data platformData products, shared data model and master data: reliable data for AI and operations

Source systemsERP, CRM, production and external data: connected source systems that stay

Five decisions in 10-12 weeks

The two lenses run in parallel and meet in the bridge, where leadership decides. Execution is agreed separately afterwards.

How we can work together

Find the value

Clean sheet workshop

1-2 days for one value stream

Today, clean sheet and the benefit side by side. Can be part of a Readiness Check.

Outcome: A clear picture of what AI can change
