Technology Roadmapping

WHERE BUSINESS STRATEGY & TECHNICAL IMPLEMENTATION COME TOGETHER

A technology roadmap can link the company’s goals with the necessary technology solutions to help meet those goals. At ROAM, we are uniquely equipped to create both long and short-term strategies for technology planning and development. We take our technology roadmaps to the next level by incorporating PEOPLE and PROCESSES into each deliverable. While a stand-alone technology roadmap can be appropriate for some clients, it is typical that for a customer to meet its business goals, a holistic, PEOPLE, PROCESS and TECHNOLOGY strategy is necessary. Improving our clients’ business performance is a top priority for us and our plans place an emphasis on organizational efficiency, resiliency, competitive advantage, security, scalability and business value.

Our proven approach to develop a well-defined strategic technology roadmap involves the assessment of multiple factors such as:

  • Cost/benefit trade-offs
  • Market drivers
  • Total cost of ownership (TCO)
  • Regulatory drivers
  • Business value
  • Competitive landscape
  • Technology & organizational maturity
  • Risk appetite
  • and barriers to adoption

Our Technology Roadmapping Services include:

  1. Business Objective Identification: We work with you to understand your overall business objectives and goals and how technology can support them.
  2. Technology Assessment: We conduct a thorough assessment of your organization’s current technology infrastructure, including hardware, software, and network systems, to identify areas of duplication, underutilization, or obsolescence.
  3. Technology Solution Identification: We identify and evaluate potential technology solutions that will support your organization’s goals and objectives.
  4. Roadmap Development: We develop a comprehensive technology roadmap that outlines the steps needed to achieve your organization’s business objectives, including a timeline for implementation and a plan for the deployment and integration of new technology solutions.
  5. Review and Adjustment: We review the technology roadmap regularly and make adjustments as necessary to align with changes in your organization’s business objectives or technology landscape.

ROAM’s roadmapping process is based on years of experience, fine-tuning and application. We take our clients through a defined set of steps that ensure the best outcome possible.
