Deloitte TS&A supports our clients through the solution lifecycle from initial technology enabled innovation leading to strategy and architecture, and working with our implementation practices to operationalize new solutions.

Sometimes the business strategy includes a business acquisition, disposition or merger. Our TS&A practice provides advice and implementation support to the merger teams responsible for designing the new IT function, setting synergy targets and achieving Day 1 close. Our TS&A practice also specializes in helping CIO’s to transform the IT Function by examining the “Business of IT” and implementing new operating models, processes, talent disciplines, and solutions to make IT more effective and efficient. This includes services and solutions related to innovation, outsourcing, architecture, cloud, service management, IT financial management, mobile, infrastructure management, governance, application and data management.

Rapid advances in technology are enabling new business opportunities and disrupting current business models. Our technology enabled innovation services are focused on two distinct objectives: building an innovation capability for technology CxOs and enabling them to identify disruptive business opportunities through a combination of new technologies.

We help our clients realize the potential of innovation by working with them and their business partners to apply technology enabled innovation from initial strategy and market scanning through to solution architecture and implementation.

Technology Strategy

Technology is a core component to most businesses today and at the heart of any business transformation. Our Technology Strategy offering provides CXO’s with a new Technology Strategy that is aligned with the business direction and goals, and leverages the advances in technology innovation.

TS&A works with senior leadership to set the technology direction, describe the target state, and prepare the tactical plans for implementation. This includes high level architectures for applications, data, infrastructure and services as well as the design of the new IT Operating model.

IT Business Management

An IT organization can only deliver effective services if it has effective suppliers, service management capabilities, and good financial management of IT spend; and more importantly, when these three disciplines work together, the incremental value to the organization is immense.

Our IT Business Management offering helps organizations increase the value they derive from IT through effective design, management, and governance of IT supply chains, IT operations, and IT finance. TS&A provides a wide range of services from initial assessments to fully integrated IT business management solutions.

Enterprise & Solution Architecture

Given the rapid changes in technology and the businesses move towards digital operating models, IT organizations are thinking about their architecture needs in innovative new ways. Deloitte’s Enterprise and Solution Architecture professionals help  clients refresh their enterprise architectures to support the new business direction, and leverage advances in technology areas such as cloud, mobile, digital, and analytics. We extend these services with solution architectures that support integrated solutions that perform well, are secure and can scale with the business.

Cloud architectures and advances in underlying technology platforms are having a profound impact on our clients’ data centres and networks both in structure and contents. TS&A provides a full range of services to help clients identify trends, refresh their architectures and design new delivery models using cloud and other 3rd parties.

We also help to optimize our clients’ data centres given the options to build or buy, and the need for cost effective and secure services.
