The Challenge

Creating shared visibility into the IT landscape

Netcompany-Intrasoft is an established European IT Solutions and Services Group with a strong global presence and a track record of delivering high-quality solutions to a diverse range of public and private organizations. The company is headquartered in Luxembourg and was originally founded in 1996.
Netcompany-Intrasoft was seeking to accurately visualise its IT landscape and business processes. With multiple systems and applications in use across different business units, it was difficult to get a complete view of the entire IT environment quick and easy. Furthermore, Netcompany-Intrasoft had the goal to improve the management of its IT operational investments and IT operational costs in a more efficient and effective way.
Netcompany-Intrasoft sought to consolidate its operations on common systems to achieve greater efficiency and cost savings. This required the integration of all business processes across different units, including Procurement, HR, Sales, Delivery, Finance and more.
  • The Solution

Enterprise Architecture Mapping

Netcompany – Intrasoft’s main goal was to gain clear real-time accurate automate centralized visibility on their IT landscape including the assets and their dependencies, as well as the organization’s business processes and their ownership. Furthermore, they needed a single source of truth for this information for anyone to reference at and update when needed to reinforce their agility to adopt and adapt quickly to changes to serve the business needs.
Netcompany – Intrasoft managed to solve this issue by using code4thought’s, Enterprise Architecture Mapping. With this service we elicit all the relevant information from the involved parties, record it in a well-known standard (like archimate), present it to the relevant stakeholders for validation and finally, exhibit the artifact in a requested format as well as potential risks and mitigations towards the management.
A special request coming from Netcompany – Intrasoft was the need to also map the business processes and connect them to the relevant IT assets.
