Creating Clarity Across IT Governance and Architecture
US Nutrition & Consumer Packaged Goods
Challenge
The client struggled with fragmented governance, inconsistent technology decision-making, and limited visibility of IT demand. Business units often bypassed IT, creating shadow IT and misaligned initiatives. A lack of structured intake and architectural oversight reduced efficiency and slowed transformation progress.
What we did
Axsys assessed the current operating model and designed a targeted governance framework linking business needs to architectural governance: Demand Management Framework: Introduced structured intake, prioritization, and portfolio governance, reducing shadow IT, and enabling transparent decision-making. Architecture Review Board (ARB): Implemented a governance body to standardize technology decision-making, align programs, and enforce architectural discipline.
