Strategy and Architecture Planning
We at Saggezza believe that a defined Enterprise Architecture (EA) strategy can be utilized as a gatekeeper or filtering tool for an organization to assess the impact, risk, and alignment of tactical decisions in relation to the set enterprise standards.. (EA) investments have a relatively fast and compelling payback. A standardized EA lowers development and support cost from re-use, and improves supportability. Clients often have an "accidental architecture" and question its suitability for fulfilling the business goals.

At Saggezza, we offer significant pragmatic experience in solving these problems. We can help develop an overall IT strategy and an architecture that is traceable and actionable. We offer tools and best practices for planning and deployment of such strategies. While we remain vendor and platform-agnostic in these efforts, we have a strong track record in Enterprise Architecture, and Service-Oriented Architecture projects, including planning, risk assessment, roadmaps, blueprints, and governance of enterprise-level architectural initiatives.

Transition and Transformation
As the business needs change, and as the business environment continues to compel such changes, many companies are faced with the difficulty of developing clear, actionable roadmaps for transitioning from today's reality to tomorrow's vision. This planning and design is always driven by the business needs, with specific technologies and systems carefully evaluated for alignment to the business strategy and current realities. At Saggezza, we assist organizations in managing these challenges through successful planning and design of transition and transformation roadmaps, blueprints, and infrastructure remediation.

Portfolio and Program Management
Portfolio management is a tool that offers a holistic view of IT projects across the enterprise and the alignment of IT with corporate strategy. In many organizations, the complexity of the business and the technology, and the gaps between business strategy and IT planning, often lead to situations where bad projects are squeezing out good projects. In such cases, there may be insufficient visibility of what is being done throughout the organization.

IT Assessment & Investment-Realization Road Maps
An increasing number of IT investments are indexed as a percentage of revenue. This changing practice demands that more be achieved with less. Saggezza helps organizations develop a strategic investment-realization plan that optimizes the "spend" across various IT strategies.



At Saggezza, we believe that investments in IT should be managed much like any financial portfolio, and we can help identify risks and risk tolerances, balance an IT portfolio for maximum risk-adjusted ROI, and provide governance and best practices that continually aligns these investments with the business needs. Additionally, we frequently engage as Program Managers for a portion of a portfolio that might have significant risk or upside.
