We analyse your technology spending and indicate how means can be pushed towards more strategic and innovative initiatives rather than to infrastructure and transactional systems.

We categorize your costs into asset classes to ensure these get managed in a more cost conscious and optimal way. We also help organisations to increasingly opt for cloud solutions, moving from fixed costs to variable pay-per-use costs, whilst avoiding high customisation efforts.

• Feasibility studies: restructuring, mergers & acquisitions, …
• Second opinions: vendor and product selections, reorganisations, …
• Alternative solutions: digital roadmaps, technology choices, …

Our unique expertise-as-a-service will unburden you thanks to our continuous support at a fixed yearly fee. Xperian’s experts assist in your day-to-day challenges, year in, year out.

We are an independent advisor, not linked to any vendor and strongly believe in building a long-term partnership in which you can entrust us with the most delicate IT matters.

Planning a merger or acquisition? A thorough due diligence is at hand but unfortunately IT is often barely part of the due diligence that precedes it. Not seldom, challenges with integration become apparent only after the M&A has been finalised. Therefore, it is strongly advocated that IT is included in the due diligence from the start as this can avoid surprises surfacing at a later stage.

Xperian’s due diligence covers:

1. How to unite the IT and digital strategies of the different organisational entities that are about to merge.
2. The people that are part of the respective organizations with their skills and how these match with the organisation that is envisaged.
3. A joint operating model when organizations have merged, in terms of capabilities and processes.
4. The optimal technology mix that is geared for the future and maximally facilitates and even enforces a company’s strategy.
5. The cost structure and optimisations that can be expected from a potential merger.

With everybody working from home, classical workshops or strategy meetings are less easy to organise and turn them successful. Too important to postpone though, so we organise and moderate your online IT strategy workshops based on our IT Strategy Cards.

• A box with Xperian’s IT Strategy Cards delivered to every participant’s home address.

• Board strategy presentation, if required.
