Support service for the planning and building of IT architecture that improves the agility with which companies can launch new businesses

Solution

Offering a one-stop solution covering everything from formulation of platform strategy to construction of platforms to improve the agility with which companies launch new businesses, thus realizing early commercialization and monetization

Recent times have seen many companies seek to diversify their businesses with a view to securing multidimensional revenue sources on top of their core businesses. To lead new businesses to success in such an environment, it is essential for companies to deal with changes in the market and with intensifying competition flexibly and accurately.
ABeam Consulting boasts a wealth of experience in supporting companies at every stage of the process from formulating a business vision to realizing platforms. Leveraging our knowledge of IT architecture, we formulate comprehensive plans for leading new businesses to success. We then support clients in executing approaches that have high probabilities of success, given their business schemes.

Background

Many companies looking to launch new businesses find themselves to incur significant cost and time to examine and implement their business ideas, rendering it difficult to secure a competitive edge in the market

As the business environment continues to change day by day, leading a new business to success has come to require the formulation of highly agile platform strategies and prompt implementation.
We see many cases, however, of companies finding that when they launch new businesses, they have built individual systems and services per department and business unit.
This leads to an issue where each time the company attempts to develop common functions that is not business-specific, this eats up significant amounts of budget and workload.
Due to limited budgets and resource constraints, there is also no small number of cases where services are forced to launch with deficiencies in key elements such as operating structures, security and availability.
As a result, even if the initial release was prompt, there is a risk that subsequent extensions and upgrades will take time, and that the systems will not be able to respond flexibly to changes in business requirements.
Such issues stem from company-wide common platforms not being in place and functional reuse and standardization  not being sufficiently advanced.
To grow your digital strategy in a sustainable manner, it is essential to have an architecture perspective that seek to combine standardization with flexibility and speed, in order to address these problems.

Challenges

Implementing a common platform that is highly extensible at an early stage while working side by side with the business is one solution for monetizing new businesses

Pitfalls

  1. In implementing business ideas, incuring significant time and cost to examine and implement the basic functions does not lead to monetization
  2. Building individual IT systems per each business within the group or company incurs significant time and cost to develop systems due to the lack of coordication and inefficiencies
  3. Because the IT architecture was not designed with business extensibility in mind, it is difficult to ensure quality when developing additional systems, and there are significant barriers to achieving stable operations

Approach

Quickly launching and growing new businesses requires not only business ideas and strategy, but also the IT architecture that supports those elements.
ABeam Consulting can leverage its wealth of knowledge in IT architecture to support clients in building platforms that will let them do the minimum development needed to quickly put their business ideas out in the market.
We also help clients standardize platforms so that they can achieve coordination across departments and business units, and streamline their operations by eliminating  duplicates.
Additionally, rather than building one-and-done platforms, we put in place environments that are highly extensible as their business grows, so that they can continue to evolve depending on the environmental change and operational status.
We treat IT architecture as more than just a technical element. By treating it as an evolving platform for continuing to generate new value, it can serve as the key to sustained success.

Driving efficiency through thoroughgoing standardization using platforms

To implement IT architecture that can be  extended flexibly as a business grows, it is essential to not only meet the business criteria that are currently needed, but also to make plans that have in sight to-be state of the business development.
To that end, it is important for companies to come up with an overall vision for the service they ultimately want to provide from the very beginning of the planning stage, to make clear the technical elements they will need and the direction of system coordination across each phase of growth, while basing this a vision for the service, and to draw up a roadmap for the composition of their platform.
ABeam Consulting supports clients across everything from implementing IT architecture that underpins sustained growth to carrying out continuous improvement, without losing sight of the business perspective. This includes, among other things, composable application design that takes into account extensibility and reusability, infrastructure design that does not lose sight of continuous improvement and of operational perspectives for improving observability across the whole business, and standardization approaches for achieving frictionless coordination between different business units and systems.

IT architecture planning by experts in digital development that supports business extensibility and profitability

Planning IT architecture from a company-wide optimization perspective, while still taking advantage of the strengths of each business unit, is important for not only launching new businesses, but also for making ongoing improvements to profitability.
Making the most of common platforms, rather than building individual systems per business unit, allows companies to quickly enter markets and achieve sustained growth, while working to streamline operations and cut costs, as they seek to expand and diversify their new businesses.
Specifically, it is important for companies to integrate and analyze data from across departments and business units after launching businesses, and to thus uncover new business opportunities and to enhance their decision making, by building thinking about how they will standardize their platforms and build systems from the new business planning stage.
ABeam Consulting has experts, who are well versed in all phases of business and digital technology development in a variety of sectors and industries, then we support our clients from the platform planning stage, with a focus on business strategy and IT alignment, while also maintaining a deep understanding of the particular characteristics of new businesses. We also seek to specify the composition of platforms in the planning formulation stage, so that we can provide support that includes calculation and investigation of cost performance.
