Your objectives provide the focus for everything your organisation does. If you're doing things which aren't helping you achieve your objectives, you need to ask yourself why you're doing them in the first place.
Archistry helps you optimize your organisation to increase your business productivity and performance by being able to take the broad view of how your organisation's core elements – your people and organisational structures, the boundaries established by your risks and controls, the processes applied to reaching your goals and the underlying enabling technologies you employ – fit together and work with you to ensure all of them are fully aligned with your business objectives.
We bring new ideas and perspectives to help you avoid and overcome the issues and challenges facing your projects and initiatives or to help you get them off the ground. In most cases, these ideas help you innovate through creating new products, new services or new ways of doing things that will provide lasting value to your organisation. Our broad experience across many industries includes the Public Sector, Banking & Financial Services, Telecommunications, Manufacturing and Commercial Software Development and helps us to recognise many key organisational issues quickly and allows you to focus on these core topics rather than continually attempting to battle symptom after symptom with little lasting success.
Past Engagements
Here are examples from some of our previous engagements to better illustrate the breadth and depth of how we have been able to help organisations in the past. While they illustrate many different types of outcomes, they share a common theme of ensuring the particular outcomes were squarely focused on achieving the organisation's stated business objectives. Maintaining this clear focus is Archistry's core value to its clients.
New Product Innovation for a Software Development Company
Archistry worked closely with the executive management team to understand the organisation's execution capabilities and core technologies and then used this understanding to help identify potentially under-served markets for new product families based on their core technologies. We assisted our client with the market validation process, identification of the major risks likely to impact delivery of the product lines, and compiling high-level product delivery plans, revenue targets and expected break-even points for each product.
Business Execution Advisors for a Technology Consultancy
Archistry provided expertise and mentoring services for a technology consultancy as they worked to clarify strategic, operational and tactical business objectives. We assisted our client by providing a sounding board for the management team on a wide range of business issues and reviewing proposed business plans to assist in identifying gaps, unrecognized opportunities and additional risks.
Banking and Information Security Domain Expertise for a Software Development Company
Archistry provided domain expertise, mentoring and advice on general information security issues including authentication, authorisation and single-sign-on (SSO) considerations when deploying mobile banking solutions. We assisted our client by providing up-to-date information on other mobile banking deployments around the world and the key constraints, challenges and technologies employed in delivering them. We highlighted many gaps in these existing solutions which precluded them being adopted in our client's particular environment, and we worked with them to identify ways to leverage existing and emerging technologies to deliver a workable solution.
