Application roadmap
A practical transition plan from your current applications to your future-state vision, with quick wins along the way.
The challenge
Without a defined future state, application investments take inefficient paths and stall between projects. Companies often don’t have a clear baseline of which past investments can be used as they are, which need work and which are due for replacement. Gaps and redundancies go unnoticed, and interim states become long detours.
How we approach it
- Understand the current state: baseline your applications and find redundancies and gaps.
- Define the future-state vision: work with cross-functional teams to identify opportunities, prioritize them by complexity and value, and guide leaders through the decisions.
- Plan interim states: treat stopping points between initiatives as deliberate steps.
- Choose the rollout: a “big bang” by function, or a step-by-step approach built around how customers interact with you.
- Build the transition roadmap: sort work into quick wins, short-term (under 90 days), mid-term (90 to 180 days) and long-term, with milestones, resources, change management and program management.
Questions we help you answer
- Which of our current applications can we keep, and which should we replace?
- Where do we want to be, and what has to happen first?
- Should we roll out all at once or in steps?
- How do we show leadership tangible progress along the way?
