DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION STRATEGY
Decide what needs to change before you invest in software.
We analyse your business processes, documents and systems to find where digitisation makes sense. We prepare a plan with priorities, requirements and delivery phases, linked to your organisation's goals and capacity.
Current process
- Request arrives by email
No common format
- Entered in a spreadsheet
Retyped in a program
- Approved by phone
No record of the decision
- Report prepared by hand
Phased plan
Phase 1High priority
Online requests and approvals
Phase 2Medium priority
Integration with finance software
Phase 3After phase 2
Reporting from the system
- Process analysis
- Priorities and phases
- Documented requirements
WHY WE START WITH ANALYSIS
An unclear process stays a problem even when it moves online.
Before development, the steps, responsibilities and exceptions of a process need to be understood. Digitisation should improve the flow, not copy every manual step without analysis.
The analysis answers
- Where should we start?
- What should change?
- Do we need new software?
- What can we keep?
- How do we set priorities and investment?
- Request by email
- Spreadsheet entry
- Approval 1
- Approval 2
- Order
- Monthly report

SCOPE OF THE ANALYSIS
What do we analyse?
Six areas reviewed together, because a process problem rarely has a single cause.
Processes and documents
The steps from request to completion, the forms and documents in circulation, and where they are stored.
Roles and responsibilities
Who submits, who checks, who approves and who stands in when someone is away.
Systems and integrations
The software you use, the data it holds and the possible ways to connect it, such as APIs or exports.
Data sources and quality
Where each piece of information is created, how complete it is and where it is duplicated or differs.
Customer and user needs
What customers and employees expect from the process: information, channels, speed and a clear status.
Constraints, dependencies and readiness for change
Budget, deadlines, internal rules, third-party dependencies and the time the team can give the project.
METHOD
How do we build the strategy?
- 01
We set the goals and scope of the analysis
We agree which processes, departments and systems are included.
- 02
We interview managers and users
We listen to the people in charge and those who run the process every day.
- 03
We document the current way of working
We map the steps, documents, systems and exceptions.
- 04
We identify problems and their causes
We separate symptoms from causes: delays, duplicate entries, missing information.
- 05
We assess the alternatives
We compare improving the procedure, existing systems, integrations and new development.
- 06
We choose priorities and the first phase
We decide where to start, based on value and feasibility.
- 07
We prepare the delivery and measurement plan
Phases, responsibilities, the initial estimate and success indicators.
There is no standard duration for an analysis. It depends on the agreed scope and on how quickly information can be gathered.
THE RESULT
What do you get at the end?
Depending on the agreed scope, the analysis ends with a document you can use for decisions, for preparing a proposal and for development.
The initial estimate of costs and timelines is based on the analysis. The final proposal is prepared once the project scope is confirmed.
- 1Summary of the current situation
- 2Process map
- 3Documented problems and opportunities
- 4Proposed process
- 5Key functional and technical requirements
- 6Priorities and dependencies
- 7Integration plan
- 8Initial estimate of costs and timelines
- 9Success indicators
- 10Responsibilities of ENOR and the client
Initial estimate
A range of costs and timelines with clear assumptions, to decide on the next step.
Final proposal
A confirmed scope with defined phases, timelines and costs for delivery.
THE ALTERNATIVES
New software, an integration or improving the current system?
There is no single answer for every case. The alternatives are compared using the same criteria.
Improving the procedure
When it can fit: When the problem comes from the steps, rules or roles, not from a missing program.
What to consider: Needs internal agreement and new working habits; sometimes enough without new development.
Configuring or extending the existing system
When it can fit: When the current system supports the process and the team uses it well.
What to consider: System limits, licence costs and room for further changes.
Integration between systems
When it can fit: When the information exists but is retyped from one program into another.
What to consider: Depends on APIs, documentation, access rights and error handling.
Developing a dedicated module
When it can fit: When the process is specific to the business and no existing system covers it well.
What to consider: Requires development, testing and long-term maintenance.
Gradually replacing the application
When it can fit: When the current system limits the work but cannot be switched off at once.
What to consider: Needs a migration plan, a period of parallel running and a phased switch.
Custom development is not always the best answer. The recommendation is based on your process, systems and capacity.
PRIORITIES
We choose the first step by value and feasibility.
Each candidate process is assessed with the same criteria. The first step should bring value and be achievable with the current data and team.
- Business impact
- High
- Frequency
- High
- Complexity
- Medium
- Data quality
- Medium
- Dependencies
- Medium
- Team readiness
- High
- Cost
- Medium
High value and good feasibility: a strong candidate for the first phase.
Illustrative example with made-up processes and levels. In a project, the assessment is based on the information gathered.
The assessment is done together with your team. For complexity, dependencies and cost, a low level is more favourable.
Assessment criteria
- 01Business impactThe time, errors, costs or customer experience that change.
- 02Process frequencyHow often it runs and how many users it involves.
- 03ComplexityThe number of steps, exceptions and rules.
- 04Data qualityHow complete and reliable the required data is.
- 05Dependencies on other systemsIntegrations or decisions needed before starting.
- 06Team readinessAvailability of the users and of the person in charge.
- 07Cost to build and maintainNot only development, but also long-term use.
LEADING THE CHANGE
Change needs an owner and a way to measure it.
A good plan is not enough if nobody leads the change inside the organisation. The strategy also sets out how people are involved and how the result is measured.
What it includes
- 01A business ownerMakes decisions on rules and priorities.
- 02User involvementThe people who run the process take part in analysis and testing.
- 03A training planFor whom, when and in what format.
- 04A pilot where neededA trial with a limited group before expanding.
- 05Measurement before and after go-liveThe same indicators, measured at both points.
Possible indicators
- Handling time
- Manual data entries
- Cases returned for completion
- System use
