Digital Transformation Journey: The First Two Pillars

The digital transformation journey involves software development, which is essential to digital change for any business. For the best outcome in this process, the existing software ecosystem must be fully understood, and to succeed, processes need to be enhanced with a clear aim in mind. According to the Digital Transformation report by Valtech and Raconteur, 69% of global digital leaders consider digital transformations a way of improving process efficiency.

Before any journey, there must be a map and an endpoint that can be reached. This is why an enterprise software ecosystem audit is necessary. By helping understand the current software landscape, an audit can serve as a roadmap for a successful digital transformation journey.

The Digital Transformation Journey: Nordlogic's Approach

To solve these issues, Nordlogic’s team has created an approach covering all the aspects of a digital transformation journey. Their strategy modernizes present-day software systems by optimizing these ecosystems to unlock their full potential. Through Enterprise Software Ecosystem Audit and Diagnosis, they help clients understand their current systems, allowing them to define clear objectives, develop competencies, and plan relevant actions that will enable them to undergo a digital transformation process to maximize their success.

Why a holistic approach is important was discussed in a previous article; now, let’s delve deeper into the first two pillars of their approach: Discovery and Definition.

Discovery: Unearthing the Ecosystem

The Discovery phase is the root of the Enterprise Software Ecosystem Audit and Diagnosis. At the first contact stage with a new client, they determine expectations and review the client’s technology and infrastructure position. At this point, the process of identifying potential risks and opportunities begins. Thus, the team:

Identifies all Ecosystem Elements: The team starts identifying every piece that makes up software ecosystems, such as applications, solutions, integrations, or any other technological aspects.
Maps out the technologies and frameworks, providing a clear picture of the current tech stack.
Identifies Technologies and Frameworks: They then identify all available technologies and frameworks to gain a clear picture of what capabilities are supported within a system as well as the limitations inherent in it.
Assesses the Hardware Infrastructure: Finally, they assess the hardware infrastructure supporting the software ecosystem, understanding whether the structure can support current and future technological needs.

By thoroughly analyzing the current state, we can identify opportunities and potential pitfalls, setting the stage for a successful transformation.

Definition: Charting the Course

The Definition phase begins after the Discovery phase, which provides new information and expands the teams’ understanding. The goal of this phase is to strategically steer the digital transformation journey. Every successful project needs careful planning, so the team takes the time to establish the procedures that will enable a process that accomplishes the client’s goals.

Identify Hidden Development Opportunities: The team identifies potential growth areas within the organization, such as new products, business lines, and automation opportunities.
Identify Potential Risks: This includes examining risks related to maintenance, non-functional requirements and cyber security. In so doing, new strategies arise.
Setting Clear Tactics and Objectives: The team creates a list of potential tactics and objectives and then prioritizes them with the help of stakeholders.
Define a Digital Transformation Strategy: A detailed plan that includes new offerings, services, and integrations that get rid of outdated solutions while having a long-term objective in mind.

By creating an understandable roadmap for the digital transformation journey, all stakeholders get clarity on their position during the process.
