Target Architecture Landscape for a leading Polish insurer
A full application portfolio rationalization and target architecture strategy — delivered in ten weeks.
Project Impact & Velocity
Key operational milestones delivered.
The challenge
Two decades of product launches, acquisitions and regulation left the insurer with overlapping systems across business lines - and no single view of what the portfolio costs or how it should evolve.
With ~70% of the IT budget locked in run-and-maintain, the board wanted costs down and innovation up. What was missing was the evidence base.
What we did
The Outcome
A single, evidence-based picture of the entire landscape — and a roadmap the board approved on the first pass.
~2M PLN
savings potential identified in customer communication alone — one of a dozen areas surfaced
24% → 61%
core capabilities moving onto group technology standards across the roadmap
Why it worked
Key drivers behind our success.
Technologies & standards
Business capability mapping
Anchoring the application estate to what the business actually does, so every system maps to a capability it serves.
TCO analysis
Total-cost-of-ownership assessment across the estate, exposing run-and-maintain spend and the strongest rationalization targets.
TIME portfolio scoring
Classifying each application as Tolerate, Invest, Migrate or Eliminate to set a clear disposition across the portfolio.
Enterprise architecture
A target-state architecture and standards that govern how the portfolio consolidates and evolves.
