Digital Information Supply Chain

Digital Information Supply Chain (DISC) manages digital info (product, customer, supplier) from creation to archiving. Similar to supply chain management, DISC covers the entire data lifecycle. Our Exploded View toolbox supports your digital journey.


Digital Maturity Assessment

We use the "Digital Maturity Assessment" method to evaluate the maturity level of your company with regard to the Digital Information Supply Chain. The result shows an assessment of your company's position in the six dimensions: Strategy & Culture, Channels, Organisation, Processes, Systems and Data. With this method, we help you to recognize potential and promote it.

Use Case Diagram

Find out how your organization really works with Use Case Diagrams. The Use Case Diagram is a proven method to understand how people are really using software / what they really do. It creates clarity about interactions, system dependencies and borders with the question: who is doing what in which system? By mapping out these interactions, we can ensure that the future systems meet your requirements effectively. Use case diagrams are essential for requirements analysis, design, and communication among stakeholders, guiding the development process and ensuring the successful implementation of the system. In addition, data silos and (hidden) Excels are uncovered.

Process Heatmap

Learn about your process maturity with the DISC process heatmap. The process heatmap shows the maturity of standard DISC processes for the entities product, customer & supplier including their governance. We use the process heatmap to visually analyze and illustrate how different processes perform within your organization. It helps us identify strengths, weaknesses and bottlenecks in a color-coded format. With this information, we can prioritize improvements, optimize processes and enhance overall productivity.

System Architecture

The system architecture provides an overview of your systems and their interdependencies.  The system landscape visualizes the interdependency of the relevant enterprise systems for the digital information supply chain. We recommend to order the systems by their role in the data creation process from creation and maintenance via consolidation to distribution to the main channels. By creating a system architecture, we can ensure that the system meets functional and non-functional requirements while considering factors such as scalability, reliability, and performance. This architectural blueprint serves as a guideline for the change process and facilitates communication among stakeholders.

Information Model

The Information Model shows a data agnostic view on all relevant business objects in your organization. We visualize all relevant business objects for your Digital Information Supply Chain that are part of your business reality. The description of the entities creates a common language between business and IT. It supports your communication between management, business departments, technical partners and system experts by facilitating efficient data organization, retrieval and analysis, supporting informed decision-making and enhancing overall operational effectiveness. Furthermore the Information Model serves as a blueprint for the data models of enterprise software systems in the data factory and supports integrating data across different systems.
