IT & data diagnostic

SaaS-vs-build map, register of critical technical debt, state of data assets. Blockers identified before you start.

03
3 to 10 priority use cases

Ranked by business impact × feasibility. Each case is qualified: scope, data, IT integrations, risks, success criteria.

04
Roadmap

Detailed plan · change plan · AI gains reallocation strategy. Sequencing, choice of engagement pillars, value milestones and leading indicators from day one.

05

A question about the scope or terms?

Let's talk →
The diagnostic

Six possible
lines of analysis

Activated according to the scope agreed with the sponsor. A combined consulting, tech, data and design perspective for 360° coverage.

IT & Architecture

Audit of the technical foundation, blocking debt, integrations required for AI at scale.

Business processes

Map of the processes that are candidates for automation or agentification. Quick wins and deep transformations.

Data assets

Quality, availability, governance. This diagnostic drives the choice of use cases. Without reliable data, AI does not hold up.

SaaS & license portfolio

Build vs. buy with ROI over 12–36 months. New AI cost structures reverse the trade-off.

Jobs & skills

Map of AI impacts on functions, roles and skills. Identification of emerging roles, functions to redesign and mobility paths.

Measuring & estimating gains

Quantification of the expected gains per use case: avoided costs, revenue generated, productivity. The basis of the business case costed in euros per year.

Beyond the initial framing

A pipeline
that never stops

Framing is an ongoing activity that feeds delivery alongside the squads. Four routines structure the opportunity pipeline.

01
Outcome-driven prioritization

Every initiative is tied to a sponsor outcome. An active pipeline, ready to be triggered as soon as a squad frees up capacity.

02
Continuous discovery

Interviews and field observation in a continuous flow, decoupled from the build. The AI Product Builder + AI Architect pair feeds the funnel.

03
Use case framing

For mature candidates: sponsor + AI Architect workshop. Problem, scope, risks and success criteria before any build.

04
Solution design

The AI Product Builder and AI Engineers explore 2–3 candidate solutions with an SDD Analyst agent. One is selected, the others are kept on standby for a quick pivot.

How it unfolds

Four typical sequences
for large enterprises

Framing always leads to a choice of pillar(s). Here are the four most common sequences among large French enterprises.

Sequence 01
Land & Expand
Heavy SaaS portfolio, IT under cost pressure
Framing→ AI Factory · SaaS Replace→ AI Agentic→ Change
Sequence 02
Deep overhaul
Critical technical debt, ambition to revive the application portfolio
Framing→ Data Foundation→ AI Factory · Refactoring→ Long-term change
Sequence 03
New AI revenue
Marketing, Digital or Customer Service leadership targeting new revenue and customer experiences
Business framing→ AI Growth→ Data Foundation→ Business change
Sequence 04
Company-wide AI transformation
Mid-sized company or subsidiary with unified leadership, large budget, CEO sponsor
Extended framing→ 4 pillars in parallel→ ExCom governance
