Approach & Methodology

A. Discovery & Current State Assessment

• Conduct stakeholder interviews and technical workshops.
• Perform system inventory and dependency mapping.
• Review documentation: architecture diagrams, process flows, SLAs, etc.
• Assess legacy systems, proprietary solutions, and technical debt.

B. Define Target Architecture & Requirements

• Define the target state architecture aligned with digital goals (e.g., microservices, cloud-native, API-first).
• Consider business needs, regulatory compliance, scalability, and resilience.
• Identify required capabilities: real-time processing, open banking APIs, analytics platforms, etc.

C. Gap Identification & Analysis

• Compare current state vs. target state for each domain.
• Highlight capability shortfalls, technology mismatches, and performance bottlenecks.
• Categorize gaps: critical, moderate, or future enhancements.

D. Impact Assessment & Prioritization

• Evaluate the impact of each gap on business processes, customer experience, security, and compliance.
• Prioritize gaps based on risk, value, and effort using a structured scoring model.

E. Recommendations & Roadmap Development

• Recommend remediation strategies: system upgrades, replacements, integrations, re-architecting.
• Develop a phased roadmap with quick wins, mid-term, and long-term actions.
• Align roadmap with strategic initiatives and budgetary considerations.

Governance & Stakeholder Engagement

• Establish a steering committee with business and IT leaders.
• Ensure continuous engagement with key stakeholders for validation.
• Provide regular updates and feedback loops during the assessment process.

Key Success Factors

• Clear understanding of digital transformation vision and business strategy.
• Collaboration between business, IT, and external partners.
• Focus on scalability, interoperability, and regulatory compliance.
• Prioritization of high-impact, high-feasibility initiatives.
