Client Challenge
Following on from an initial piece of work related to Vendor Cost Optimisation, the client needed further alignment with in-scope products to compile a robust execution plan across technology and business functions for the decommissioning of its legacy platforms.
The Client also asked TORI to:

-
A review of the critical business processes affected by the anticipated decommissioned systems, considering the impact on vendors, service and business processes efficiencies and Governance & People
-

-
Producing a high level business case to support the required investment indicating the benefits of system decommissioning, process optimisation and the impact to the operating model
-
