IT Modernization Roadmap

Make the most of your digital investment by addressing the areas that limit critical interactions first, and following a lightweight framework to prioritize and plan out further modernization.

Driver

Is technology causing more headaches than breakthroughs? Do you keep running up against limitations in your current technology stack, hearing “we can’t do that” or “that will take months to complete?” These are signs that the technology foundation you’re working with just isn’t up to the task of enabling success for years to come.

And yet, the call to transition legacy technologies to modern, cloud-based “as-a-service” options can seem overwhelming, particularly when it’s not clear where to start.

At FlexPoint, we believe that not all IT modernization opportunities are created equal. We’ll partner with you to cut through the noise and prioritize your technology investment to deliver real value.

Outcome

Rather than define and budget for a multi-year digital modernization plan, you’ll have a directional roadmap that targets the best next opportunity to enable customers and team members through technology, along with subsequent efforts that make sense with your goals, guardrails, and timeframe.

Additionally, you’ll have a proven prioritization framework to match modernization efforts with enabling specific business needs going forward, so you can make helpful plans and budgets closer to when they’ll be used.  

You’ll see serious benefits with this approach:

  • You can target finite resources toward technology enhancements that will best serve customers and team members

  • You and your team will practice the prioritization and planning process with a seasoned guide, so you’ll be confident doing it yourself next time

  • You’ll be a pro with reusable materials that we co-create to support ongoing decision-making

  • We’re just a phone call away for a sanity check as you navigate IT modernization over the coming years

Approach

We’ll work with you to:

  • Understand true business needs and how your technology foundation is (and isn’t) holding back progress.

  • Map out your tech stack, highlighting standards and practices that are likely to serve you going forward.

  • Identify options to transition legacy technologies to modern offerings and work with your business and technology teams to define long-term goals and guardrails.

  • With a sense for what is possible in the long-run, work with you to identify the first area to address.

  • Create a high-level plan for the first digital modernization effort, including success factors, pointed questions to ask vendors, and more.

  • Customize a lightweight framework to use in further modernization decision-making, weighing potential impact against feasibility.

  • Combine all of these inputs into an IT modernization roadmap that includes the first effort, as well as the building blocks that make sense with your goals, guardrails, and timeframe. We’ll expect this modernization roadmap to change as you go along, so we’ll make sure you’re comfortable owning and adapting it going forward.
