Advisory, Business Application & Risk Assessment @ Nature Organics

Background and Challenge

Our client had a large aging, on-premise technology footprint and limited IT capability and capacity to support the business' direction and growth.

Australian Sentinel were engaged as the trusted IT partner to remove cost, reduce risk, lift the security posture and modernise the I&O strategy. The initial engagement was to discover and document an exhaustive view of the business applications portfolio and provide guidance to IT investments for a 2-3 year outlook.

Solution

  • Discovery of  IT Operations capability, capacity and processes.
  • Analysis and audit of the application architecture, network, infrastructure, roles and processes, including End of life & non-compliant software & hardware.
  • Risk assessment.
  • Joint risk prioritisation in alignment to business strategy.
  • Multi-year roadmaps and business case development.

Outcome

In month two, our client had visibility:

  • Business applications portfolio
  • Corporate Risk Register (Information Technology lens)
  • IT Strategy Guiding Principles
  • Business Case Development (inc baseline year one financials)
  • Executive Summary & Recommendations

Australian sentinel's technology agnostic and unbiased recommendations guided executive decisions and directed remediation projects and strategic investments.

Australian Sentinel was selected as the preferred supplier of managed services and IT solutions. The Year 1 business case benefits were realised per plan. Year 2 business case and IT strategy was able to be largely developed internally with some brief oversight from Australian Sentinel. Australian Sentinel were privileged to have delivered both tangible medium-term benefit as well as unleashing long-term exponential value via capability maturity.

What They Say?

“We call it an engagement but it's really more of a partnership. It's clear that they are invested in getting us there to our goal state.”

- Alex Plattfuss, Head of Information Technology.
