IT Transformation & Strategy
Let us help you transform your digital business and develop your IT strategy
Digital transformation has become a key issue for companies in all sectors. It involves not only the implementation of new technologies, but also a fundamental realignment of business processes, culture and strategy. Effective IT transformation requires a well-thought-out IT strategy that is closely linked to the business architecture. We can help your organisation with the process of digital transformation and the development of a forward-looking IT strategy.
Enterprise architecture analysis as the foundation for successful IT transformation
Enterprise Architecture (or ‘EA’ for short) is a structured framework that links the different aspects of an organisation – including business processes, information systems, technologies and infrastructure. The aim is to create a clear view of the organisation and ensure that all parts work together harmoniously to achieve the strategic goals of the business. SAMA PARTNERS takes a holistic approach and advises on measures in all areas of enterprise architecture that will lead your company’s digital transformation to sustainable and secure success.
Business architecture
Business architecture describes the structure and processes of an organisation. It includes business models, value chains and organisational structures. During IT transformation, organisations need to ensure that their IT systems not only support their business objectives and are flexible enough to adapt to market changes, but are also resilient to potential cyber-attacks. We advise organisations on fundamental business architecture issues to provide a secure foundation for digital transformation.
Information architecture
Information architecture deals with the management of data and information within an organisation. It includes databases, data flows and information management processes. Successful IT transformation requires a clear strategy for the use and integration of data in order to make informed decisions.
An Information Security Management System (ISMS) that complies with international standards provides the optimum basis for the efficient and effective implementation of a holistic security strategy. Our experts work closely with you to develop a customised ISMS and find innovative solutions to your specific security challenges. We promise you a solid structure for your ISMS that will not only stand up to any audit, but more importantly, will add value to help you manage your security processes and challenges efficiently.
Application architecture
The application architecture describes the software applications and their interactions within the organisation. As part of IT transformation, organisations often need to modernise existing applications or implement new solutions to increase agility and efficiency.
Our application experts review the status of your applications for potential security vulnerabilities and bring them up to date. As part of our Managed Services offering, our experts can manage your organisation’s security needs, monitoring networks and IT systems, identifying vulnerabilities and remediating them.
Technology architecture
Technology architecture encompasses an organisation’s hardware and software infrastructure. It plays a critical role in IT transformation as organisations need to integrate modern technologies such as cloud computing, artificial intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT) to remain competitive.
Our technology architects work with you to develop a long-term technology vision that aligns with your organisation’s business objectives and design the technical architecture for systems and applications, including the selection of appropriate technologies and platforms. This ensures that your technology architecture is scalable, flexible and adaptable.
