How enov8 can help

IT due diligence

Understanding your IT landscape is necessary before you embark on transformational activities. Enov8 has advanced knowledge management & cross-platform (e.g. CMDB, DevOps, eAM, ITSM & PPM) integration feature that provide detailed mappings of all key business & IT elements and promotes effective decision making, change prioritisation and ultimately solution sizing.

Define future state of transformed landscape

Use Enov8 to design blueprints of what the future organization environments and applications will look like. And compare with historical, existing or future footprints.

Transformational / migration planning

For large transformational engagements, like cloud migrations, it is necessary to have effective planning, coordination & orchestration management methods. Use enov8 to scope the overarching transformation portfolio, divide and conquer with Transformational Release Sprints, direct key operations and track holistic & granular activity.

Define Implementation Operations

Leverage enov8 implementation plans and operational runbooks to define and direct transformational / migration operations down to atomic steps and track progress.

Transformation Testing / Quality Assurance

Ensure completed activities / migrations are effectively tested by using enov8 “health-check” runbooks and out-of-the box lean synthetics (system test automation).

Transformation / Migration status accounting and reporting

Use the enov8 platform to capture and analyse all the relevant information & metrics relevant to your transformation / migration. Analyse the details from different perspectives e.g. Portfolios, Releases (Sprints), Systems, Teams and share that information with team members and stakeholders.
