advisory services

At Imola Informatica, we try out everything we recommend to our customers and partners ourselves.

Our independence from commercial agreements and our direct experience give us a competitive advantage in advisory services. We provide highly customized advice on all digital transformation projects.

Enterprise Architecture

To be competitive, companies have to have an appropriate organization for their business strategies and any changes therein.

At Imola Informatica, we have always been committed to transformation projects, and have identified Enterprise Architecture as the most useful, complete approach to governing processes of change, and – in particular – all projects that involve information technology to achieve corporate business objectives.

An overview of the processes, information and people allows us to offer a complete analysis, and mediate between business and IT.

Service Design

The service design panorama has changed so much in the last few years that we have decided to set up Antreem, a company working specifically in this field with a new, particularly creative staff.
Thanks to their skills, we design faster business processes, and offer methods and services that are always oriented towards the end user.

You can count on our solid experience in organization and design. We provide our own designers to meet our customers’ needs fully.

Change management

Every change in a company meets with internal resistance, sometimes even very strong resistance.
At Imola Informatica, managing change means guiding our customers along a customized course towards innovation.

We introduce changes progressively, and leverage the concepts of rhythm and adaptability, rather than speed and specialization.

Sourcing

In recent years, there has been a lot of talk about outsourcing and managing remote suppliers. At Imola Informatica, we often meet suppliers on behalf of our customers and foster working together to achieve results.

We support various sourcing policies, but we mainly support customers in the process of changing from outsourcing to in-sourcing and vice versa.

We recommend in-sourcing policies to ensure a greater capacity for innovation and supervision. As concerns process, we rely on established, top quality methods.

Complexity management

Managing complexity in organizations and in the IT field requires specific research and analysis activities. At Imola Informatica, we rely on the analysis and application of principles of complexity, such as emergency, resilience, unpredictability, circular causality and edge of chaos.

This approach allows us to imagine the changes in relationship dynamics between organizations, people, processes and information systems.
For us, complexity management is a transversal approach which we use to meet our customers’ needs better.

Blockchain

The innovative blockchain model is today almost exclusively associated with cryptocurrencies, like bitcoins. However there are many possible applications of blockchain, with which we have helped our customers renew their own business models.

The blockchain paradigm can be used to create an uneditable distributed ledger, without having a centralized entity. This means you can do secure transactions without intermediaries: this is the aspect of blockchain technology which is behind digital transformation processes.

Management consulting

Over the years we have helped many managers live through the evolution of their roles adequately. Changing contexts and the push to innovate require discontinuity in approaches and methods.

In these cases, we talk to the company and create a transformation-oriented relationship. We bring in our skills to support the internal resources. In this way, we can effectively respond to our customers’ needs.

Governance

Before deciding on a course of action, corporate governance presupposes a series of assessments. At Imola Informatica, we work alongside the company offices to identify and implement the most appropriate decision-making courses for the changing market environment.

We need to consider multiple points of view in this activity in order to facilitate sense-making stages in which decisions may be determined on future courses. In this way, we can bring the corporate levels into line with the business ecosystem.
