Technology Advisory

Businesses today are increasingly investing in enhancing customer experience or in rolling out new products instead of investing in technology expenditure. To gain competitive advantage, it is more important than ever for businesses to figure out how to maximize their existing investments and effectively leverage new technologies, as well as how to eliminate waste. We help you understand the true cost and value of your IT services, and to implement both cost and value models and charge-back mechanisms.

We work with your CIO to quantify and to communicate the business value of IT initiatives and consequently inform investment decisions. We assess the structural soundness and fitness-for-purpose of your IT organization (governance, processes, roles, and skills). Having assessed your IT capability, we help you define an IT governance framework and operating model that enables your organization strategy and achieves greater IT efficiency.

We identify opportunities to rationalize your applications and infrastructure in order to simplify the systems and optimize their cost base. We define the target architecture and assist you throughout subsequent transformation projects. We work with you to define the most appropriate sourcing strategy and systems / vendor selection as well as evaluation to optimize your IT costs and increase the quality of IT services (e.g. global business services, Business Process outsourcing, IT outsourcing, cloud).

What We Deliver

  • Budget Analysis: An assessment of the project’s cash flow and resource allocation estimations.
  • Economic Modeling: A short- and long-term forecast of the project’s ability to create economic value for the organization and its stakeholders.
  • Financial Analysis: A comprehensive financial breakdown of the project’s anticipated funding and revenue generation opportunities (including rates of return, capital investments, payback periods, etc.) over the lifespan of the project.
  • Impact Analysis: For government agencies, we conduct a thorough study of the projected impacts of the project on the physical, social, cultural, economic and political environments.
  • Market Research: Deep-dive research and analysis for specific industries and verticals relevant to the project and the proposed project plan.
  • Needs Assessment: A study of the true need for the project, the beneficiaries of the project and an evaluation of how organizational needs will be addressed by the project, or if the needs would be better addressed by an alternative approach.

Although every project differs in its goals, needs and scope, Dependenz starts each engagement by comprehensively cataloging both internal and external factors – including project leadership, resource availability, existing infrastructure, public demand and regulations – that will impact the project’s health and long-term viability. The feasibility of the project is then determined and documented through both a technical and economic lens:

  • The Technical Feasibility Analysis considers the organization’s current state, as well as existing resource capabilities and the availability/sustainability of new technological offerings.
  • The Economic Feasibility Analysis examines the long-term revenue generation potential of the project, including both tangible and intangible elements. Additional analyses – including cultural feasibility, social feasibility, political feasibility and environmental feasibility – may be deployed depending on client needs and objectives.

Every Project Feasibility Analysis concludes with a comprehensive conclusions and recommendations document, outlining Dependenz’s independent and objective findings on the project, its overall viability and next steps to meet organizational goals.
