Focused Assessment: clarity for concrete technology decisions.

We assess systems, platforms and technology components within a defined scope to identify risks, intervention options and an initial path for evolution.

01 / WHEN IT HELPS

When is a Focused Assessment useful?

When a decision concerns a defined technology asset and calls for evidence before action.

  • 01Critical systems needing modernization.
  • 02Applications that are difficult to maintain.
  • 03Platforms requiring integration.
  • 04Components with material technology risks.
  • 05Pending replace-or-evolve decisions.
  • 06Projects needing bounded technical assessment.
02 / EXPLORE

Explore what an assessment can cover

Select an asset type to see aspects we could assess. This is an illustrative guide, not an automated diagnosis.

01 / 15

ERP

Enterprise Resource Planning

Platform coordinating core resources and processes.

When it helps
When a decision affects several critical processes.
What we assess / activities
Modules, master data, interfaces and adaptability.
View technical detail
Risks or limits
Old-version dependency and workarounds outside the system.
Potential outputs / indicators
Functional map, dependencies and modernization options.

Scope and complexity are agreed with each organization.

03 / APPROACH

How we work

An executive view of the engagement, adapted to the agreed asset and objectives.

Specific activities depend on the agreed scope.

  1. 01Define the asset and objectives.
  2. 02Review the technology context.
  3. 03Identify dependencies.
  4. 04Examine risks and findings.
  5. 05Compare alternatives.
  6. 06Prepare recommendations.
  7. 07Present conclusions to leadership.
04 / SCENARIO

Deciding the future of an inventory system.

Illustrative scenario. This is not a real client case.

01

Situation

A distribution company relies on an inventory system built years ago. It still supports important operations, but maintenance depends on a few specialists and integration is limited. IT must decide whether to retain, extend, gradually modernize or replace it.

02

Assessment

DSIin would review relevant components, integrations, documentation, operational dependencies and risks within an agreed scope, then compare feasible technology options.

03

Outputs

The assessment would document the system's condition, findings, risks, dependencies and intervention options.

04

Decision

The organization could compare alternatives and choose an evolution path suited to its context. This example does not choose one automatically.

Illustrative deliverables

  • Description of the assessed technology state.
  • Key findings.
  • Identified risks.
  • Relevant dependencies.
  • Intervention alternatives.
  • Evidence-based recommendations.
  • Action priorities.
  • Initial roadmap.

Specific outputs depend on scope. The assessment does not require a subsequent implementation contract.

05 / CONTEXT

Clarity on a defined decision

Neither service is a prerequisite for the other or for a project.

Focused Assessment

Assesses one or more defined technology assets and relevant dependencies.

Comprehensive Analysis

Examines cross-domain relationships among systems and processes.
