Digital Feasibility Audit

test if the potential path is doable

Scope

To evaluate the viability of a business idea or concept by considering all relevant factors and thoroughly analysing your current internal processes, technical preparedness, and digital economy metrics relevant to your future project
Leaders like to create new solutions or business models that have the potential to improve how the business operates. Whether these ideas look good on paper only or in practice as well depends on understanding the surroundings: examining the technology, physical infrastructure, the people at their disposal, as well as other resources and systems. The Digital Feasibility Audit can help you in reconsidering your digitalisation processes, redefining your operating models, and determining new business strategies. 

The outcome of a Digital Feasibility Audit helps your company's management and stakeholders to gain clarity in decision-making regarding a digital project by evaluating the following 3 pillars:

Pillar 1

Business evaluation
On the one hand, we evaluate business considerations from the perspective of internal processes, and on the other hand, from external data such as economic and digital market indicators that show trends within and outside your industry. Considering these and the envisioned requirements of a given digital project, we refine the original concept and determine the functional business flow for it.

Pillar 2

Technology evaluation
We perform a technology audit on your current IT ecosystem regarding where and how data would be provided for your digital project. This means creating the high-level functional requirements and mapping all potential data exchange points based on a specified flow that was designed according to the business evaluation results.

Pillar 3

Cost evaluation
Cost evaluation is a critical and highly specialised part of a Digital Feasibility Audit that directly impacts the bottom line of a potential project outcome. We define the financial impact by an agile approach that offers modular budgeting and helps you build a sustainable business case. This allows your business to invest the required minimum at first in order to have the flexibility to scale your investments later, once the project starts delivering its first results. In addition to this, we estimate tentative future costs that are plausible for the defined model.
