At a Glance

A defence organisation struggled with a fragmented view of their technology estate, resulting in spending inefficiencies and poor decision-making. With an overwhelming number of unfunded initiatives and no clear prioritization framework, the CIO partnered with Credera to develop a comprehensive 5-year technology roadmap. Through extensive analysis, Power BI dashboards, and strategic planning, Credera created a single-view repository of all technology investments and delivered a sequenced roadmap that enabled the CIO to align stakeholders around a shared vision and secure updated investment plans.

The Challenge

Navigating fragmented technology investments without strategic direction

The defence organisation faced significant challenges with their technology investment strategy. They had a fragmented view of their technology estate, causing spending inefficiencies and poor decision-making based on incomplete data. An overwhelming number of initiatives still needed funding, but there was no prioritization based on business strategy or value realization.

The CIO needed a comprehensive approach to understand their current state, identify opportunities, and create a strategic path forward that would gain buy-in from both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

The Solution

Building a comprehensive technology investment framework with data-driven insights

Credera conducted a comprehensive review of all technology investments, building a data repository for current and future capabilities. Mapping with Power BI, we created a single-view dashboard of spending, risks, and new opportunities, then prepared a sequenced, 5-year roadmap of investments in an easily digestible format.

The CIO took this roadmap to align technical and non-technical stakeholders to a shared vision, equipped with the data to prepare an updated investment plan. We also established an enduring process to maintain this strategic view for future investment cycles.

The Results

Enabling strategic alignment and investment certainty through a unified technology vision

The defence organization now has a comprehensive, data-driven approach to technology investment planning. As a result of this initiative, the organization has experienced:

Unified stakeholder alignment around a shared technology vision
Data-driven investment planning based on business strategy and value realization
Sustainable strategic planning through an enduring process for future cycles
Embedded architectural best practices reducing effort for future planning
Improved investment certainty and decision-making capability
Complete technology visibility through a single source of truth, eliminating fragmentation
