6. Technology stack
On a journey toward the highest levels of digital maturity, we aim to reduce digital sprawl, close the gap between software capability and user literacy, and become data-centric. Our guiding principle is “source of truth” first. This typically means focusing on the CRM and AI-powered knowledge base. In this phase, we determine what software goes where, who uses it, and how we can make it simple and aligned with your mission.

How to Pick The Best Tech for You.
The Technology Stack phase is all about picking the right tech, aligned with your people and processes. We avoid assumptions, important as just because you’ve always used a piece of software doesn’t mean it’s the best fit, nor does a powerful tool solve every problem. Think of it like preparing for a race: you can pick the track and the race car, but the driver and engineers make all the difference. In strategy, we picked the race; forecasting, maturity, and mapping gave us a deep understanding of the driver and engineers; now we’re picking the right car.
