IT challenges in practice

Sales and service organisation for passenger and commercial vehicles in which several independent entities were combined into one integrated company.

The organisations used different systems, infrastructure choices and ways of working. Decisions were needed about what to retain, replace and standardise while day-to-day operations had to continue.

Together with management, business and IT, I mapped the existing situation, dependencies and desired direction. This was translated into a target architecture and phased roadmap with clear priorities, decision points and coherence between the different changes.

National healthcare provider with an infrastructure landscape that had grown organically over the years.

Overlapping tooling, limited standardisation and a growing operational burden made targeted investment increasingly difficult. At the same time, reliable digital support for care processes was becoming more important.

I analysed the existing landscape, the main bottlenecks and risks, and the requirements for the coming years. This resulted in a coherent infrastructure strategy with concrete priorities and a phased roadmap.

International manufacturer and service organisation with a growing number of initiatives and change requests from the business to IT.

IT challenges arrived through different channels, were not always assessed consistently and architecture was often involved too late. This made it difficult to identify priorities, dependencies and consequences early.

I helped establish a structured intake process in which new initiatives are discussed and assessed early. Roles, responsibilities and decision-making were clarified, and architecture gained a practical position between the business question and delivery.

Automotive service provider that was separated from its parent company and continued as an independent organisation.

A standalone IT environment had to be created within a limited period without jeopardising business continuity. Decisions were also needed on infrastructure, suppliers and the longer-term setup.

I designed the required infrastructure architecture, supported the selection and assessment of suppliers and safeguarded coherence between the choices during implementation. Knowledge was transferred to the internal teams at the same time.
