IT Carve-in & Carve-out

Mergers, acquisitions, divestments or spin-offs are strategic decisions. In practice, they affect the core of the organisation: IT systems, data, processes, roles, knowledge, and people.

Carve-in and carve-out projects often have to

1. consolidate or separate IT landscapes,

1. migrate, archive or decommission systems and data,
2. redefine roles and responsibilities, and
3. secure and transfer existing knowledge.

These topics are often addressed too late. The result: higher costs, risks of data loss, outages, redundant structures, or knowledge gaps. Particularly critical: if planning does not start early, rights and access permissions agreed in the transaction can be difficult to re-establish later.

We implement carve-in and carve-out scenarios holistically and with foresight. We combine technical expertise, methodological competence, and organizational understanding.

• IT architectures and migration
  Design of target architectures based on TOGAF®, secure migration of systems and data, including archives and historical records.

• Processes and organisation
  Adoption, harmonization or redesign of processes in line with daily operations and the future organisation.
• Roles and competences
  Use of SFIA 9 to assess and design IT competences, with clear role profiles and staffing.
• Project management
  Structured control of complex programmes with proven methods, from cut-over planning to operational go-live.

We place particular emphasis on preserving experience and knowledge. Technology can be replaced; organizational know-how often cannot.

We have supported large and complex IT transitions from a strategic, technical, and organizational perspective. Our strength is the integrated view: business intent, technological depth, and the human dimension.

This creates solutions that work in the transition and remain viable afterwards.
