After having the overview over the main processes (step 1) we will have a look into the IT landscape.
The main task is to identify gaps, redundancies or missing interfaces in the IT landscape. To get a clear picture about this we use the method of modeling a process application map (model type IT landscape).
The context for this model are processes (step 1), Users (or organizational units) and IT applications. All on a more or less high level.
In the show case we have:
- 2 user groups: end users and regatta administrators
- 3 process clusters: regatta / declaration management, regatta evaluation, publication of results
- 2 existing IT systems velumNG and Excel marked green
We can also identify that there is a gap (marked red) in the process support: the both processes regatta / declaration management and publication of results are not supported. This is a gap the application jointherace.net is placed. You can see it red marked in the model.
Conclusion - what do we have after step 2?
- A big picture of our process landscape
- An overview about existing IT applications
- A big picture about the to-be IT landscape and process support
- An idea about interfaces between the IT applications
- Possible modules for the new IT application (jointherace.net)
... and this is quite a lot!!
