Practice Portfolio
IT Consulting and Business Analysis
The Digital age presents several challenges and opportunities for providing Advisory, Consulting and Business Analysis as services to help customers realize Business and Technology value.
Organizations with a large and complex IT portfolio would typically have several opportunities for optimization in terms of:
- Duplicate applications
- Obsolete technology
- Functional gaps
- Integration gaps
- Non-standardized platforms & processes
These portfolio inefficiencies and redundancies create 'Technology Debt' which often hampers IT's ability to optimally support current and emerging business opportunities and a higher Total Cost of Ownership for IT portfolio. Birlasoft leverages its proprietary ZeROTechDebt™ framework which focuses on optimizing an organization's 'Technology Debt'.
The framework specifically aims for Zero Redundancy Operations to attain Cost Leadership and business alignment. Birlasoft has a proven methodology 'EASE- Explore, Analyze, Strategize, Execute' for driving various Transformation programs.
The areas of focus include Application Portfolio Optimization (APO) and IT Strategy, Business Process Re-engineering and Product Selection, IT M&A Consulting, Portfolio Simplification – Decommissioning, Value Discovery & Value Appropriation, SIAM– Service Integration and Management & Operating Model and CoE Setup.
