Organizations all over the world are changing the way they do business, they fulfill their missions, and they respond to emerging threats. By implementing new data and digital platforms, organizations can deliver new digital services and modernize their legacy systems – which tends to be critical to drive digital transformations. However, with these advantages come technological challenges. Organizations must be able to respond to emerging threats rapidly and easily, while still making sense of massive amounts of data coming in from all over the world.

Digital Solution Architecture at KPMG is a modern business and technology architecture practice that is driven by customer experience and emerging technologies. Our main objective is to provide the technical support to drive digital transformation through designing and delivering next generation architectures.

It's not the technology that's transforming, it's the technology that's transforming you.

   

Challenges

The role of technology has shifted greatly. The pressure on organizations is growing to deliver a modern, adaptable architecture to meet the ever-increasing demands for data- and digital transformations. Yet at the same time, organizations are often confronted with the reality of their current technology landscape; fragmentation, data silos, legacy systems, and many other challenges.

Some organizations have already started to address these new needs with new technologies such as data lakes, data hubs, streaming services, and other new technologies. These new technical additions have increased the complexity of data architectures immensely and can be a big burden for organizations to continuously develop new capabilities, while at the same time maintaining and managing the complexity of their existing infrastructure.

As an organization, you need a lot of know-how to modernize your technology landscape. It is hard to select best fit-for-purpose architectures, technologies, and platforms to evolve your landscape to one that can meet the rising business needs for agility & innovation.
