In brief: During this online workshop 'Overview of your systems and data', you will map out your own application landscape in two hours. You will discover where duplicate work, data risks, and unnecessary costs exist and conclude with concrete improvement points. After the workshop, we will schedule a one-hour personal consultation with an IT expert.
Why an overview of your systems and data is important
A lack of overview of systems and data costs time and money. It leads to duplicate work, unclear data storage, and risks around privacy and cybersecurity. We often see that digital tools are developed independently without anyone having the overall picture. Gaining control over your digital organization may seem technical, but it directly impacts your daily work. When you have a clear view of your systems, data, and processes, you can work smarter, make better decisions, and have more time for your substantive work.
You prevent working with fragmented systems or duplicate tools and gain better insight into how information flows through your organization. This not only helps improve processes but also supports making informed choices about, for example, new systems or suppliers.

- you will have insight into digital security risks and your digital crown jewels

In this interactive session, you will – alone or with a colleague – actively work on the application landscape of your organization:
- you will visually map your application landscape

What does the consultation after the workshop entail?
After the workshop, you are not on your own. You will have a personal conversation with an IT expert. This expert will review your application landscape, help you prioritize improvement points, and provide advice on next steps and strategy. The expert will also think along with you about collaboration with suppliers and selecting or improving systems. This way, you can directly translate the workshop insights into a concrete and achievable action plan.
