Processes and day-to-day work
We examine workflows, responsibilities and points of friction within the agreed scope. Workshops compare intended processes with everyday practice, including manual activities and workarounds.
360° IT assessment: a clearer basis for your next decision
Your IT landscape should be assessed through the work it enables. Our 360° IT assessment brings together business processes, applications, data and operational constraints to support well-grounded transformation decisions.

01 · UNDERSTAND
Start with the business problem
Repeated data entry, inconsistent reporting and changes that involve too many hand-offs can have different underlying causes. We work with business and IT stakeholders to define the assessment, understand the dependencies and identify the issues that deserve attention first.
- Give business leaders, IT teams and decision-makers a shared view of the landscape.
- Understand dependencies between applications, interfaces, data and operations.
- Evaluate whether to improve, modernise or replace existing systems.
- Prepare a SAP or digital transformation with clearly stated assumptions.
02 · DESIGN & DELIVER
Expertise grounded in how you work.
Applications, data and integration
Our assessment connects applications with the processes they support, the information they exchange and the systems that own that information. This helps identify duplication, dependencies and data quality or ownership questions that need further investigation.
Architecture, operations and security
Depending on the engagement, we review architecture, access management, deployment practices, operations and continuity. Any specialist investigations require an agreed scope; a maturity assessment is not a compliance certification or a penetration test.
Options and roadmap
We turn findings into options that can be compared by expected business value, dependencies, risks, effort to be estimated and conditions for delivery. The roadmap distinguishes stabilisation work from longer-term transformation.
COPERNIC · PEOPLE & EXPERTISE
Connecting business understanding with system expertise
Our approach combines an understanding of how people work with an assessment of the systems behind that work. The expertise involved depends on your environment, drawing on advisory, SAP, Cloud, Data or technical disciplines as appropriate. The aim is to make the choices clear to both business owners and IT teams.

Discuss the expertise your team needs03 · WORK TOGETHER
A clear approach, from scoping to handover.
- 01
1. Define the decision
Agree on objectives, scope, stakeholders, available evidence and the depth of assessment. Establish which questions need answering and which outputs will support your decision.
- 02
2. Bring the evidence together
Combine business interviews, IT workshops and document reviews. Separate observed facts from working assumptions and information still to be confirmed.
- 03
3. Evaluate the options
Review the findings with the teams involved, discuss options and dependencies, and prioritise actions against your business goals and constraints.
- 04
4. Prepare the next step
Document the proposed sequence, responsibilities and prerequisites. Any implementation phase is agreed separately, with its own scope and schedule.
04 · MAKE IT CONCRETE
Deliverables your teams can use.
We agree the scope and acceptance criteria at the start of the engagement, based on your landscape and priorities.
- A summary of findings and assumptions that need validation.
- A focused map of processes, applications and dependencies.
- Development options with explicit decision criteria.
- A prioritised roadmap and implementation prerequisites.
USEFUL ANSWERS
Your questions.
When is a 360° IT assessment useful?
It is useful when a transformation decision requires a shared understanding of the current landscape: an ERP change, application modernisation, data integration issues or a reorganisation. Scoping keeps the assessment focused on the decisions you need to make.
Does the assessment have to cover our entire IT landscape?
No. It can focus on one process, business unit, group of applications or transformation programme. We agree the scope, depth of analysis and outputs with your team.
Does this replace a regulatory audit or a security test?
No. A maturity assessment is neither a compliance certification nor a penetration test. Where specialist investigation is needed, its objectives, methods and conditions are defined separately.
How can the assessment support a SAP project?
It can inform SAP project scoping by clarifying business processes, data, interfaces and constraints. It helps frame the questions that functional and technical workshops will need to resolve.
