Practice areas

Technology strategy & modernization

Assess technology investment against the commercial and operating requirements it must meet.

A legacy system, several competing investment requests or a delayed program can absorb management attention without resolving the underlying business need. Dune examines the capabilities required and compares the cost, dependencies and delivery risks of the available paths.

  • Which customer or operating requirement does the proposed investment address?
  • Can the existing systems meet it with a smaller change?
  • What would interrupt the business during modernization?

Scope of the practice

Requirements and existing constraints

Review the customer, operational and reporting needs behind an investment request. Establish where current systems constrain the business and what those constraints cost in practice.

Modernization options

Compare changes to current systems with replacement or wider modernization. Assess total cost, integrations, supplier dependencies and the internal capability required to sustain each option.

Investment and program review

Sequence the preferred investments around business dependencies. Define responsibility and delivery measures. For a program already underway, compare its current position with the original business case and identify the changes required to recover progress.

Agreed work and outputs

A technology investment roadmap supported by an assessment of the commercial options and delivery governance. A program review focuses on the gap between promised capability, expenditure and current delivery.

Information to bring

System maps, supplier commitments, program plans and the original business case help establish the baseline. Include requirements that changed after the program began.
