Fondation KISS
How Fondation KISS gained clarity about its future IT landscape
Fondation KISS supports caring communities that connect generations and organized neighborhood assistance in Switzerland. Its existing IT landscape was spread across several systems. Dependencies on external licensors and the knowledge of individual developers made further digitalization difficult.
Through a structured assessment and feasibility analysis, BitStone established a sound foundation for the future IT strategy.
Think.
Industry: Non-profit & education
Challenges: Direction & decision support | Modernization & technical debt | Process digitalization | Integration & data
The challenge
A fragmented IT landscape makes clear decisions difficult.
Fondation KISS did not have sufficient control over all the systems in use.
Different solutions, technical dependencies, and a lack of transparency about functions, data, and risks made it difficult to make an informed decision about the future IT landscape.
Our journey together
Think. creates the basis for decisions.
Understand
During a detailed assessment, BitStone analyzed the existing systems, data structures, functions, risks, and requirements.
Assess
Different approaches and technical options were evaluated for feasibility, dependencies, effort, and long-term viability.
Decide
The findings were brought together in three concrete resources to support decisions:
- Assessment Report
- Feasibility analysis
- Implementation roadmap
The value for the customer
Clarity before the investment decision.
The foundation’s board received an independent, well-founded basis for its future IT strategy.
For Fondation KISS, this means:
- transparency about the existing system landscape
- clarity about risks and dependencies
- evaluated options for action
- a realistic basis for investment decisions
- a concrete roadmap for the next steps
Think. reduces uncertainty before major investments are made.
Understand first. Then decide.
At Fondation KISS, the collaboration deliberately started by determining the right direction before software development.
The success story demonstrates the value of Think.: informed decisions instead of premature technical solutions.
