Seventy per cent of digital transformations fail. Why? Because many businesses rush to engage in digital transformation without a clear strategy in place.

Successful digital transformation can drive growth and give your company a competitive advantage – but you may need the guidance of an experienced external partner to really get your project off the ground. An expert architecture consultant can help you define your business goals and set out a clear roadmap. By giving you a more holistic view of the transformation process from the outset, they can help you avoid many of the roadblocks to organisational change.

Here are three key considerations to take into account before embarking on a successful digital journey:

1. The delivery of technology solutions is not an end in itself

The focus should always be on furthering business priorities. When harnessing the power of new technology in your business, it is essential to consider how it will integrate with legacy systems.

Too little thought is often given to how information can be extracted from the technology or how that information will be fed into the business’ decision-making processes. Too many assumptions are made about integrating systems.

An architecture consultant will lay the groundwork for the successful integration of new technology by performing an audit of your current systems to identify solution gaps and remove possible expensive surprises.

2. Taking your time now will prevent expensive mistakes later.

Businesses are rushing to keep pace with technological change, but big-picture future planning takes time. An experienced and capable architect will take the time to put together a more holistic view of the processes involved and the components needed. Such quality assurance helps you avoid making uneasy expensive compromises and feel more comfortable with your decision to implement new technology solutions.

Advanced planning mitigates risks and ensures that your initiatives will deliver in the allotted time and on budget.

3. There should be nothing “off the shelf” about architecture consultancy.

The best approach to architecture consultancy is a creative individual conversation with your business that examines its history, listens to your challenges, and takes the time to understand your unique environment and needs. The result is a bespoke solution that may include a variety of services, such as:

  • Technical design authority: providing general architecture expertise and assurance that a solution is the right one for you
  • Technology landscape audit: reviewing the systems and platforms your business currently uses to identify any impediments to growth
  • Roadmapping: identifying cost effective steps you can take to achieve your business outcomes
  • Product selection: helping you to sift through the extensive options and biased marketing to identify the best products to realise your goals
  • Build your own architecture capability: identifying the right people, structures, and processes to lay the necessary groundwork to make each change implementation a successful one for your business and sustainable for the long term

The successful implementation of digital transformation can yield massive rewards for your business – but the key to that success is engaging experts at the outset who can help you to put a winning plan in place.
