Challenge
Driving Large-Scale Transformation
- High data risk due to disconnected, single-use data stored in spreadsheets and people’s heads
- Lacked a formal Enterprise Architecture function or governance, which made it hard to validate information and make decisions
-
Struggled with data complexity and application sprawl due to inconsistent information of varying quality hosted in physical locations across a large estate
Approach
How Ardoq Helped
- Procured Ardoq for enterprise portfolio management, to conduct large-scale transformation and create a single source of truth where data and information could be stored and relied upon to make decisions
- Out-of-the-box Application Portfolio Management (APM) to combine and refine application data, helping accelerate data verification and visibility
- Surveys and Broadcasts enable them to automate workflows, crowdsource data collection, and maintain data relating to people, roles, vacancies, and recruitment
Benefits
Key Outcomes With Ardoq: Enhanced Enterprise Portfolio Management
- A single source of truth and a reliable enterprise architecture system that helps them to generate live, accessible data, enabling governance and quicker, more-informed decision-making
- Reduced risk and strengthened security processes using insights from their APM implementation
- True crowdsourcing as staff are empowered to contribute and maintain their data
- Valuable time and resources saved as just one primary Ardoq admin is needed to oversee the metamodel
- Enhanced enterprise portfolio management by connecting its strategic plan to its application portfolio, allowing the organization to execute its strategy fully
Next Steps
Looking Forward
The team is working towards establishing a full digital twin of the organization (DTO) to better connect their strategic plan to their dev team’s work. This crucial connection will help build confidence and insight into their strategic intent without needing to spend time manually validating information.
