IT Strategy
We support our Clients in developing strategies and governing change, from redefining the service model, redesigning steering and governance processes, optimizing resources (applications and infrastructure), and managing and minimizing operational and security risks, consistent with the relevant standards, practices and regulations for the market sectors served.
IT – Business Alignment
The digitalization process has deepened and heightened the critical relationship between IT and Business. Achieving alignment is essential to ensure IT initiatives directly support business goals, such as enhancing customer experience, reducing operational costs, and driving innovation.
Aligned with established frameworks, standards, and best practices, we assist clients in defining and implementing key processes: including Business Relationship Management, Demand Management, Risk Management, and Portfolio and Program Management.
IT Governance
Moving from strategic directions to their implementation requires appropriately structured structures, processes, and competencies that can ensure that thegoal of value maximization is achieved. According to a systemic PSO (People, System, Organization) approach, we help our Clients to identify, design and implement improvement and evolutionary interventions, acting on key enabling factors: Redesign of Governance and Management Frameworks, rationalization of Processes and Operational Models, optimization of organizational structures, revision of Technological and Application architectures, evolution of competencies.
Service Model
Creating value in a service organization demands a continuous, critical analysis of its market positioning. It is necessary for this to start from a fundamental assumption: the centrality of the Customer, to be understood not as an external entity, but on the contrary as the “main asset” of the company itself on which to leverage in the development, renewal and evolution of the offering. In line with this strategic vision, we collaborate with service organizations throughout the entire lifecycle; from the analysis of customer expectations, to the review of the offering, to the redesign of production and service delivery systems to the design of continuous quality measurement systems.
Business Continuity
Growing environmental, technological, and regulatory complexities expose organizations to increasing risks to operational continuity. Heightened scrutiny by regulatory bodies and their stringent requirements make a robust, measurable, and efficient business continuity management system essential. Since its inception, Codd&Date has supported clients in building and maintaining operational continuity systems. From conducting Business Impact Analysis and risk assessments, to determining RTO and RPO, defining continuity processes and procedures, planning, and designing tests, we ensure our clients are prepared for any disruption.
Resource Optimization
Managing system operating costs is often complicated by the diversity and complexity of IT systems, inconsistent architectural and development standards, and issues of obsolescence.
We have developed a specialized methodology to evaluate performance and resource utilization across application systems, identifying optimization opportunities both infrastructural and applicative. Our multidisciplinary team conducts comprehensive assessments to identify challenges, design corrective actions, implement solutions, and measure their effectiveness—across distributed platforms and mainframes alike.
Outsourcing Strategy
Outsourcing remains a strategic decision requiring careful evaluation. Its success hinges on a clear understanding of objectives, encompassing cost efficiency, quality, scalability, regulatory compliance, risk management, technological innovation, and business focus. We provide expert advisory services to guide clients through the entire outsourcing process: from defining Sourcing Models and qualifying requirements, to identifying providers aligned with strategic and operational needs. Our support includes drafting RFPs, conducting technical and economic analyses, and assisting in provider selection.
With a multidisciplinary technical-legal team, we offer specialist support during contract negotiations and finalization, ensuring comprehensive coverage of all critical aspects.
IT Risk and Compliance
Risk and Compliance systems are increasingly vital in safeguarding organizational value while enabling informed decision-making.
Codd&Date assists clients in creating and enhancing IT risk assessment models aligned with best practices and standards like ISO 31000. Our assessments identify threats, vulnerabilities, and associated risks, recommending countermeasures and prioritizing mitigation strategies.
Our regulatory expertise translates into services for designing internal control systems based on governance frameworks (e.g., COSO, COBIT), best practices, and sector-specific regulations (e.g., DORA, NIS2), ensuring organizations remain compliant and resilient in a dynamic environment.
