This IT due diligence project focused on assessing the target company’s IT infrastructure and applications, identifying opportunities for next-generation system implementation, and outlining a strategic roadmap for digital transformation. Key activities included diagnosing structural issues in the existing IT environment, exploring data utilization pathways, and proposing enhancements to boost operational efficiency. The outcome established a robust platform for long-term competitiveness and alignment with rapidly evolving digital market dynamics.
1. Assessment of Current IT Infrastructure and Systems
The company’s core offerings—short-term rentals, long-term rentals, used-car sales, and Smart Link services—depend on key legacy systems. The review prioritized scalability, stability, and the seamless integration of data across these platforms.
- We examined the monolithic architecture’s impact on data processing speeds and maintenance activities, noting that system-wide dependencies heightened operational risk.
- Potential synchronization errors between legacy and new systems were analyzed to ensure accurate mapping and maintenance of contract and vehicle information.
2. Next-Generation Systems Evaluation and Recommendations
The proposed next-generation system aims to leverage cloud-based microservices architecture (MSA) to better meet evolving business requirements and ensure proper data integration. We examined project timelines, costs, and the feasibility of phased implementation.
- Waves 1–4: Introducing robust data integration rules, strengthening pre-launch testing, and stabilizing each release phase will enhance overall system reliability.
- Waves 5–7: Upgrading and eventually replacing existing ERP and groupware systems, coupled with deploying advanced data analytics capabilities, will drive more sophisticated and efficient operations.
3. Operational Efficiency and Cost Optimization
Adopting a next-generation system is expected to yield both cost savings and service expansion. Migration to the cloud and standardized data models will unlock several key benefits:
- Operational Cost Reduction: By consolidating select legacy functionalities into the new platform, the company can minimize maintenance expenses and reduce redundant operational efforts.
- Data-Driven Decision-Making: Integrating customer and vehicle data enables dynamic pricing models and personalized services, ultimately enhancing profitability and market responsiveness.
Project Outcomes and Expected Impact
This due diligence effort precisely identified the company’s IT infrastructure needs and offered a clear strategic direction for next-generation system development. Enhanced data-driven operations and a well-orchestrated digital transformation will strengthen market competitiveness and create a foundation for sustainable growth. As the company refines its IT architecture and data capabilities, it will position itself to capitalize on future market opportunities and continuously improve performance.
