IT Analysis
& Architecture

From understanding the system to its transformation.

A comprehensive view of IT systems

Sound IT analysis is the foundation of every successful digital transformation. Before we propose any change, we need a thorough understanding of the existing environment — its processes, systems, data flows and interdependencies. Only on that basis can we design an architecture that is not only technically correct, but also feasible and sustainable.

Our approach connects business needs with technical reality. Every analytical deliverable is grounded in real data, stakeholder interviews and a careful review of existing documentation. We do not work in isolation — we collaborate closely with your teams to capture not only the formal processes, but also the informal dependencies that often determine the success of an implementation.

We specialise in the public administration environment, where system integrations, legislative requirements and inter-ministerial interfaces create a complex ecosystem that demands a systematic, structured approach to analysis and solution design. For public-sector IT projects, we operate in compliance with the Slovak Act No. 95/2019 on IT in public administration.

What we specifically deliver

We cover the entire analytical and architectural cycle — from IT analysis through architecture design to requirements specification.

IT analysis

A systemic view of the IT environment — from processes and systems through data flows to integration dependencies. The foundation for every architectural design.

  • AS-IS / TO-BE mapping of processes and systems
  • Analysis of integration dependencies and interfaces
  • Mapping of data flows and transformations
  • Identification of technical debt and risks
  • Stakeholder analysis and requirements documentation

ADM cycle & architectural layers

Architecture operates as a chain of dependencies. Each layer builds on the previous one and feeds into the next.

  • Vision — objective, stakeholders, project scope
  • Business Architecture — processes, services, organisational capabilities
  • Data Architecture — data sources, ownership, flows
  • Application Architecture — systems, integrations, dependencies
  • Technology Architecture — infrastructure, platforms, deployment

Cross-cutting layers

Security, integration, digital interfaces and governance run across all architectural layers.

  • Security Architecture — IAM, PKI, audit, Zero Trust
  • Integration Architecture — API Gateway, ESB, event streaming
  • Digital / Customer Architecture — UX, mobile, web
  • Governance & ComplianceGDPR, eIDAS, change management

Data architecture

Data structure and management — from the conceptual model to physical implementation. Data sits at the core of every information system.

  • ER models and conceptual data models
  • Data dictionary describing entities, attributes and relationships
  • Design of integration interfaces and API contracts
  • Data quality rules and validation mechanisms

Functional & non-functional requirements

A precise specification of what the system does and how — from use cases to security and performance requirements.

  • Use cases, user stories and acceptance criteria
  • Performance and capacity requirements (SLA)
  • Security requirements and threat model
  • Scalability, availability and monitoring

How we work

A proven analytical process that ensures consistent, high-quality deliverables on every project.

Step 1
Discovery & scoping
Understanding the context, identifying key stakeholders and mapping existing systems. We define the project scope, principal objectives and the constraints we are working with.
Scope document Stakeholder map
Step 2
AS-IS analysis
Mapping the current state — gathering source material, reviewing documentation, interviewing stakeholders and technical teams. A detailed understanding of the existing environment.
AS-IS documentation Process maps
Step 3
Gap analysis
Systematic identification of gaps between the current and target state. Prioritisation of findings by impact and urgency. Creating a clear picture of what needs to change.
Gap report Priority matrix
Step 4
TO-BE design
Designing the target state — architecture, integration scenarios, data model and requirements catalogue. Deliverables are ready for direct implementation or for inclusion in a public procurement.
Architecture diagrams Requirements catalogue
Step 5
Validation & handover
Reviewing deliverables with stakeholders, incorporating feedback and finalising the documentation. Presentation of results and recommendations for next steps.
